Bayston Hill Memorial Hall

Bayston Hill Memorial Hall committee is responsible for the building’s fire safety arrangements but hirers are responsible for running their own activity safely, supervising attendees and following the hall’s fire procedures.

A map of the building showing escape routes from each of our rooms is available on the notice board within the hall - please ensure you have site of it during your hire/use.

Our emergency procedure
Should you discover a fire immediately let everyone in the building know by repeatedly shouting 'FIRE'. Dial 999 and call the fire service - even if the fire appears to be minor. Give the address as Bayston Hill Memorial Hall, Lyth Hill Rd, Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury SY3 0DR. Our What3words unique combination is: ///faded.rods.less

Close internal doors if safe to do so.
Leave the building from any of the available fire exits and make your way to the meeting point: the wall in the car park.
