Private space

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.

FAQ

Can live artists or performers appear at private events?

Yes, entertainment can be facilitated provided performers have documentation available.

What layout options are available for exhibition spaces and registration?

Half of the Windsor Suite is best suited. The Windsor Foyer can accommodate exhibition spaces and registration; alternatively, the lobby can be used if separate registration is required.

What lighting is available in the meeting space?

The space has no natural daylight; daylight is available in the foyer for food and drinks. It has a powerful PA system and strong, adjustable overhead lighting, and extra lighting can potentially be brought in if necessary.
