Hire Costs
Welwyn Parish Council keeps the costs down
The Council recognises the value of providing affordable venues for the use of residents and local community groups. That’s why the council works hard to ensure that rates are kept down, in most cases subsidising them, for residents and local community groups use. This allows our residents and local community groups to enjoy our venues for a variety of events.
