We love sharing the comfort of Dalby with you, so come enjoy the warmth of our hospitality and heating ....
but how about turning your own heating off, or at least turning it down whilst you’re out ? That would help offset the carbon emissions of the drive out here! PS> If you also car share and bring friends and neighbours with you..... that would be one more step towards a healthier and happier planet.

Please note : Our " Dalby Booking Office " is but a grand term for a very amazing family who volunteer to do this out of the kindness of their hearts amongst the busyness of their own lives...... it'd be good if you could please ring them within normal working hours whenever possible.
We don't use a computer booking system, just a note pad and pen, so we don't take bookings for any event ahead of it being advertised.
Also we don't take advance bookings or reservations for things like the Soup Stop, Film afternoons and evenings, Meditation, etc etc. all of which operate on a donations basis ( for which we are very grateful!!!) . These sessions are all just drop ins.... you're always very welcome to come and join us whenever ...... surprise us!

Almost every month we have at least one event : be it a concert, a slide show, quiz night, World Bonnag Championship, speaker or music night, it inevitably has a supper and approx 60 people attending. These nights are fun and fundraising, with proceeds going to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of this unique historic building and 10% of our proceeds after costs go to our nominated charities for the year.
