The benefits of hiring local school facilities

Here, we’ll discuss the benefits of hiring local school facilities, particularly in comparison to those of a commercial centre or traditional business space, for groups, clubs or events. 

Why hire school facilities for my group, club or event?

When it comes to hosting groups, clubs and events, local schools and the facilities they offer on site can all so often be the ideal choice of any, and many!, event spaces. 

This is due to the following key elements schools have to offer – 

A wide variety of spaces available: One of the greatest and most convenient things about schools is that they offer a wide variety of spaces for hire, such as halls, meeting rooms, sports halls, dance studios & music studios, and football pitches, meaning your local school is extremely likely to be equipped to host your event in one of their available event spaces/rooms! 

Onsite parking: Although not all schools may benefit from onsite parking, the majority do, therefore making visiting much easier for those driving to your event. What’s more, for anyone requiring public transport to attend your event, schools are often very well connected to local transport links; either located near train stations or easily accessible via local bus routes.  

Well known within the community: Local schools bring local communities together in multiple ways – families will often send all their children, and sometimes generations of children, to the same school(s), meaning your local schools are well known within the communities they serve. For you, as an event organiser, this means that attendees will easily know where your event is, how to get to it, and the kinds of amenities offered, which will likely lead to higher attendance. 

Accessible: Due to the nature of schools, they often offer accessibility in the form of such components as: 

  • Disabled and wider parking spaces
  • Ramps & wider entrances/double doors
  • Accessible toilets 
  • Stair lifts or stair-free spaces

Meaning you can confidently cater for people of all mobilities at your upcoming event. 

Alongside all of the above, it’s also important for us to acknowledge this: 

Schools and the facilities they have available are versatile and varied, well-equipped and generous; they’re purposes-built spaces for large amounts and groups of people and, consequently, not only can they comfortably fit a large group of individuals, but they can also be dressed elegantly, beautifully or simply practically, depending on your tastes and requirements. 

Plus, if you choose to hire school facilities you’re supporting your local community!
