About this space

The Windsor Suite at Hilton Reading is the hotel’s main event space, set up to handle everything from weddings and gala dinners to big celebrations and private parties.

It’s around 375m², with the option to split it into two smaller rooms if you need something more contained. That flexibility makes it easy to adjust depending on the size and style of your event.

Capacity-wise, it can take up to 320 for a seated dinner, around 560 for a drinks reception, or 500 theatre-style.

You’ve also got a private foyer, bar, and cloakroom, so the whole space can run as its own self-contained setup. It helps keep things flowing smoothly and gives your event a bit more privacy without extra logistics.
