Let us create unforgettable festive memories

Celebrate the Festive Season at The Roseate Reading.Christmas is all about tradition and year after year we welcome back friends who have made a seasonal gathering at The Roseate Reading a much anticipated ritual.

Save yourself the last minute stress of organising the office Christmas party this year and let us take care of all those important details that guarantee a memorable and successful evening; we worry, so you don’t have to!

Glittering glass beads complete the chandelier running the height of the building in the old lift shaft and the blend of fabrics and wallpapers with clever lighting, art and design creates a space that doesn’t just look right, it feels right.

1911 was the year that The Roseate Reading was built as the Shire Hall for Berkshire County Council. Admire the historic detailing, wide hallways and high vaulted ceilings of this Grade I listed building. Take in the passion of the astounding artworks and go away appreciating life that little bit more.

With a maximum capacity of up to 150 people for stand up reception styled events and 80 for sit down dinners, it is the ideal setting for any festive event from a cocktail reception to a black tie dinner dance.

We are always willing to personalise and customise any event exactly to your liking, but in any case we have created a range of different offers available throughout the month of December, just to point you in the right direction.

One thing you can be sure of though, no matter which one you choose, rest assured that the culinary delights will be nothing short of spectacular as our chefs have prepared a glorious menu of festive dishes to complement any occasion!

We look forward to seeing you here this season, Fa la la la la la la la la!

The New Year is welcomed with complimentary Champagne, mince pies and bacon butties served at midnight.
