Setting hire prices that cover costs without emptying the diary

Volunteer-run venues in the Midlands often invent process under pressure. That works until volume rises.

Peak and off-peak pricing only works if hirers can see it without asking.

Review prices seasonally — energy and staffing move.

Peak and off-peak pricing only works if hirers can see it without asking.

None of this requires a complicated transformation project. It requires one source of truth in the Midlands.

FacilityPro lets venues list free, keep internal bookings free, and take about 90% of paid public hire.

Key takeaways

• Treat the calendar as the only booking truth for community centre committees.
• Publish prices, buffers, and cancellation rules where hirers can see them.
• Take payment in the booking flow when you open public hire.
• Give more than one officer access so holidays do not freeze the diary.
