Choose Start with an empty diary and check that the hall has at least one room. You do not need an hourly rate: free and whole-day hires are supported.

A room without a price can leave Rooms and prices unticked, but it does not block bookings. Set an individual booking’s total under Guests, deposit, notes → Price, using 0 for a free hire.
