I am looking for a small hall for a birthday celebration. It will need to hold about 60people max. Is there any where in Hertford ? I dont really want anything too big. Would consider a pub with enough space. Thanks.

Depending on when the party is Hertford Rugby Club will rent out the Bar area, which is very good for small parties. Obviously on a Saturday night there will still be drunken players hanging around.

I've been to parties at St John's Hall, Pioneer Hall on the Ware Rd and Waterford Village Hall is not far away either. Zero also used to rent their top bar. I've no idea what the current rental policy or terms are of any of these venues now though and suitability would depend on what you want in terms of bar, entertainment etc.

Depends on your budget, the river room at Castle hall can be hired, or most Church Halls, Village halls etc.

Try the upstairs of the White Horse. Nigel will hire out all of it (2 smaller rooms plus the big main one) for a small fee. It'll take @75 (fire regulations) only prob may be its almost all non-smoking. Had our Wedding reception there. For an extra fee he may do yummy nibbles......

We had our daughters 9th(or 10th or 8th) birthday party at the church hall down the bottom of greencoates (St Johns Hall) that was pretty good quite large and fairly well looked after with quite a bit of parking and a large grass area outside!

I'll recommend St John Hall too - had a couple of functions there and its been fine - 60 will be a comfortable number in there. Week nights its sometimes in use regularly (Guides on Thursday for example) but assuming you are looking for a weekend event you should be OK.

Dude - You made me bark Sauvignon Blanc over my laptop. Ay Carumba Though, to stay on topic, The Scouts 'dwelling' (it ain't a hut) at the bottom of Port Vale is quite lovely. Modern, clean, errm, modern. (seriously). Ideal for kiddies birthday parties and quite cheap I believe. Against it - there is no bar.

There is always the Guide Hut in West Street, complete with car park. No bar but very clean and spacious and toilets in good order. You can always get someone to set up a bar for you. I believe it is owned by the council.

And how updated? I went in there when it was still a "night club"... horrors!

I haven't been in but they have done some work on it I understand, it is quite big. They now hold specialist markets etc in there so if you look on the A boards outside to check when they are on you could go in and see. It was awful when it was used a s a nightclub but I am sure it is much improved.

I popped into a market in the Corn Exchange around Christmas. They seem to have done a nice job of refurbishing it.

There is also the Masonic lodge in Hertingfordbury. Nice location and a bar too. They don't mind loudish music as my band played a wedding there...
