OUR HALLS and ROOMS Set in large grounds with plenty of parking, the Copse Suite at Jocks Lane together with the Community Hall at Braybrooke are attractive venues for regular bookings or occasional hires. Our regular hirers include exercise classes, gardening and historical societies, play groups and slimming clubs.

These venues are also popular for celebrating children's and family birthdays, anniversaries and for meetings.

Great Hollands Pavilion is ideal for business meetings and funeral wakes, in association with Easthampstead Crematorium. Catering can be provided.

The Council Chamber in the High Street, Bracknell (available on week days) is particularly suitable for training and more formal meetings.

Each venue offers slightly different facilities. We are happy to show prospective hirers around to help establish which venue best suits their needs. An appointment is required for viewings provided a provisional booking has been made.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS Halls and rooms must be booked for the total time required including setting up and clearing down / cleaning up time. A member of staff will let hirers in at the start and lock up at the end of the booking. ID must be provided at the start of the booking.

At the end of the hire car parks must be cleared of vehicles to allow caretakers to lock the car park gates 30 minutes after the finishing time. Halls and rooms must be left in an acceptable condition for subsequent hires, so please leave them clean and tidy. If you need cleaning equipment please request it from the member of staff on duty.
