How to book: Apply by email or phone 613-278-0388.
Bookings must be for functions acceptable to MERA and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Music concerts: bookings are vetted by the MERA Music committee to avoid scheduling conflicts. If you require help with promotions, apply to the Music committee to be a sponsored concert.
Outdoor wood-fired oven: bookings will include a training session in advance of your booking date. Factor into your booking times that you will need several hours to get the oven up to pizza-cooking heat.
Kitchen use: Facilities include oven, fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, dishes and cutlery. Dishes must be hand-washed and then sterilized in the dishwasher (unfortunately, contrary to its name, it doesn't actually wash the dishes, just gives them a hot rinse).
