Terms and Conditions for use of An Sanctoir facilities
Conditions for Workshops, Courses, Performances and Camps 2009
An Sanctóir is a unique venue: an holistic
centre in the heart of a beautiful sanctuary, which
is open to all. Owned by a trust and operated as a
registered charity CHY13347, all our income goes into
running the centre and maintaining the sanctuary. As
a charity we wish to support community events, fundraisers
and individuals who wish to take risks and explore
their creativity, and will, where possible offer concessions
to such individuals or groups.
Rental fees:
• Basic rental: €125 per day, plus an additional
€2.50 per participant after 15th person per day
for profit making events (Counted from the 16th participant
e.g. : the extra charge for 20 participants is €2.50
x 5 = €10).
• Rental for an evening event: €50 or a third
of the earnings if you are charging admission.
• Heating is inclusive.
• Groups without a facilitator: €13 per person
per day (or a minimum fee of €75 whichever is greater)
• Rehearsal: €13 per hour ( rehearsal time is
free where it results in a fundraiser for the centre).
• Camping on the land or sleeping in the centre is €7.00
per person per day, including use of showers and toilets.
Deposits:
• All bookings must be confirmed with a deposit within
two weeks of our agreeing to hold the dates. Absence of
a deposit will result in the booking being cancelled and
the dates being made available for others to book. Responsibility
lies with the facilitator/promoter to ensure the deposit
is received on time.
• The deposit required is €50 per day. A cancellation
fee of 25% of the rental fee will be charged for cancellations
made 8 weeks or more before the scheduled dates, 50%
of the rental fee will be charged for cancellations made
4 weeks or more before the scheduled dates, no refund
shall be made for cancellations made with less than 4 weeks
notice.
General information:
• We will include all public events and workshops
in our programme mailed/emailed twice a year, if booking
is confirmed and information available in time for the
relevant mailing. Where possible, if required, all public
events and workshops will appear on our website.
• In our experience workshops that are sponsored
(by a person who wishes the workshop to happen) are more
likely to be successful. We encourage all facilitators
to find such a person(s) who would promote the event, do
administration, the poster and the cleaning in exchange
for the workshop.
• When a booking is confirmed, please let us know
about your requirements for the space: chairs, sound system,
catering or anything else you may require.
• Teachers and facilitators are responsible for what
happens in their classes and are advised to have their
own insurance. An Sanctoir has liability insurance but
this does not cover the instructor or the participants.
• We would be grateful if you are able to be generous
and have a space in your workshop to allow one of our (volunteer)
trustees to do your workshop free of charge, let us know.
• To encourage use of the centre we remain flexible
and open to discussion about the above. We are also open
to work in exchange for rent.
Conditions
for Weekly Classes 2009
• Basic Weekly Rental is: €13 per hour if at least one month is paid in advance. Otherwise €15 per hour.
• Groups without instructor are the minimum hourly

the rental is free. Subject to availability.
• Heating is inclusive.

including shower, Camping including shower: €6.50
• Teachers must book their classes in advance
for a block of 4-10 consecutive sessions. We would
also like a non-refundable deposit of €5 per class
in advance (or even better full payment.) This can
be deducted each week off the rent. We hope that this
commitment can be passed on to your participants by
having them pay for a course of sessions in advance.
We are happy to give you a trial period of one or two
classes to see if your class is viable.
• We will make every effort to preserve the regular
weekly slots, but clashes may occasionally arise. We will
also notify you as soon as possible of any changes, which
may need to be made.

normal income or participants and if another teacher would
like to try something new at that time then we are obliged
to inform you of this and we may request that you move
on.

If you want to be included please have your info. ready
before the new season. Please inform us of any changes

classes and are advised to get their own insurance. An
Sanctoir does have public liability but this does not cover
the teachers and their participants.

the administartor.
