Corfe Castle Village Hall has three spaces available for public hire: the large Main Hall (which includes the use of a fully fitted kitchen), a medium sized room named the 'Bill Carter Room' and a smaller 'George Preston Room', (previously known as the Community Hub Room). The three rooms share use of an entrance lobby and ladies, gents and unisex disabled toilets, with baby changing facilities in ladies & disabled toilets.
The Main Hall is approximately 20m long and nearly 11m wide, giving an area of over 210 m2. It can accommodate 250 people standing or 150 people seated. 15 Large, 28 small square tables and 150 chairs are available from an adjacent storage area. In addition 16 staging units give a flexible stage of area around 45 m2, either all at one height or at two different heights. The main lights are divided into three sections which are independently dimmable, and there is also dimmable wall lighting. A fully fitted kitchen has a serving hatch into the Main Hall.
The Bill Carter Room is L shaped, approximately 10m by 9m with an area of almost 80 m2. 14 square tables and 50 chairs are stored at the side of the room. There is a sink area with kettle and mugs. The lighting can be dimmed.
