The main hall is larger and has a stage at one end and a unique balcony at the other end. The balcony can be used as a minstrels gallery for a band, curtained off as an extra room, or as a 'dress circle' for staged events.

 

The smaller hall is affectionately known as the Billiard Room, for obvious reasons as in times past the gentlemen of the village played billiards and snooker here. No billiard table remains but the spectator benches do and they add a charming character to this room.

There is also a well equipped kitchen suitable for cater for Weddings, family parties and other functions.

Parish Hall Refurbishment

The first phase of the latest hall refurbishment project was completed in the summer of 2011, when the hall was equipped with a new gas fuelled heating system replacing the 25 year old radiant heaters.

The second phase was completed in 2012 when the main hall received a new lighting system and a refreshed colour scheme. The whole hall had new curtains at the same time.

Annual Village Events 

 There are several highlights to the year in the Parish Hall. In February, the management committee in partnership with the Aldermaston Players put on Dinner/Theatre evenings.  Once or twice a year there is a village get together where we all get to have a good natter over some nibbles and a glass of wine. In December, the Parish Hall host a Carol Concert. Every third year in December is the historic Candle Auction, one of the few remaining in the country. 

Brief History of Aldermaston Parish Hall

The victorian Parish Hall, built in 1897, has a period charm that is equally at home with a disco or afternoon tea party. It has been cared for by a succession of dedicated caretakers and committee members that have looked after it and kept it in good order for both regular and guest users. The hall is in constant use by local groups, the local community and is also hired regularly for Weddings, Birthday Parties and Children's Parties throughout the year.
