Welcome to the Acland Memorial Hall's Website

The Acland Memorial Hall is a warm, bright, spacious and well-equipped village hall located at the centre of the village of Cold Ash in Berkshire.  Flexible options exist for the hire of our two self-contained spaces which includes use of the kitchen.  We also have male/female or home/away changing & shower rooms.  We offer preferential hire rates for parish residents. 


Facilities include:

  • Main Hall (140m2) and smaller Committee Room (38m2) each with their own entrance.  They are available to hire separately with shared use of the kitchen or together with sole use of the kitchen
  • Both rooms have a serving hatch into the kitchen
  • Heated, modern kitchen has two sinks, electric oven and hob, microwave, large electric urn, kettle, mugs, plates and cutlery
  • Both rooms for hire have blackout curtains / blinds for daytime parties and the showing of films and presentations
  • Ladies and Gents cloakrooms with an additional children’s-level sink
  • Separate disabled toilet with baby changing facilities
  • 2 sports home/away or male/female changing and shower rooms
  • Hall is adjacent to an enclosed outdoor playground and the village’s large grassed recreation area
  • Other services and equipment include tables and chairs and free superfast fibre-optic Wifi (please see our Terms and Conditions for details of acceptable and prohibited use)
  • Disability-friendly with ramps, disabled toilet and a hearing loop in the main hall.  This works in conjunction with the majority of hearing aids to amplify and clarify sounds whilst removing background noise
  • A free, public 36-space car park with disabled parking bays (please note that space in this public car park cannot be guaranteed for Hall users during very busy periods)


AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE:

  • A state-of-the-art multimedia system in the Main Hall comprising 138" motorised screen, bluetooth enabled HDR projector, Blu-ray/DVD players and full surround-sound speakers.  
  • An overhead projector and drop-down screen in the Committee Room 
  • A portable bluetooth speaker and wireless headset microphone for hands-free presenting (can be used in either room).

You are welcome to use any of the AV equipment above during your booking on payment of an additional £100 deposit.  Please ask for further information at the time of booking (a key code is required to access the equipment).

Following the Covid-19 pandemic we continue to ask all Hall users to sanitise frequently touched surfaces (door and window handles, taps, sinks etc.) at the end of their hire using the wipes and sprays provided in the kitchen.  Please help us to keep the Hall clean during your hire by using the hand sanitiser provided on entering the premises.

The hall is managed by a team of volunteer Trustees; if you are interested in helping to run this valued community facility please email:  AMHchair@mail.com

Please note that we DO accept bookings for family gatherings finishing up to 11pm on Friday and Saturday evenings but this is at the Hall's discretion as we wish to minimise noise and disruption to our residential neighbours.
