Hire school facilities

Some school facilities can be hired Monday to Friday, after children have left school, and weekends. We need at least 2 weeks notice for bookings made during term time. It takes longer to process a booking if we get it in a school holiday as they are normally processed when school staff are available. Bookings are dependent on staff availability.

Facilities are not available during school holidays for Christmas and New Year, Good Friday, Easter Monday or May Day.

How to book

You'll need to send us the completed, relevant booking form and any additional documents specified. Read our terms and conditions and make sure you have made any additional arrangements required for your booking.

Send your documents to us:

email: schoollets@dumgal.gov.uk
post: School Lets, Cargen Tower, Garroch Business Park, Dumfries, DG2 8PN

Once approved, the booking details are final. If you want to change your booking, contact us at least 5 working days before the start of the booking.

Some schools with sports facilities must be booked directly.

Regular and block booking

Function and special events booking

Hydrotherapy pool booking

Read our terms and conditions and make sure you have made any additional arrangements required for your booking.

You'll also need to send us a copy of your public liability insurance cover.

Book as an individual

If you're booking as an individual, not as a member of a club or organisation, you'll need to sign a child and vulnerable group protection declaration and send this with the relevant forms and other documents for each type of booking.

Book kitchen and catering facilities

Kitchen and servery facilities and equipment are available to hire. Contact us for prices or we'll send you a quote when we've assessed your booking request.

Cancel a booking

Email schoollets@dumgal.gov.uk to cancel a booking. We need at least 7 days notice if you want a refund (this does not apply to bookings cancelled because of bad weather).

Cancellations due to bad weather

You must give us enough notice if you want to cancel a booking:

(a) at least 24 hours before a weekday booking.
(b) by midday on Friday for a weekend booking.

Schools may also be closed in emergency circumstances such as severe weather conditions, which may affect your booking. When possible we publish school closures and contact hirers if we have to cancel a booking. You can also contact us if you want to check if your booking will be cancelled.

If we cancel your booking we will refund you.
