Remenham Parish Hall was given to the parishioners of Remenham by Viscount Hambleden in 1913. It is a traditional brick and flint building and was fully restored and refurbished in 2008. The hall is situated in a quiet lane behind the Church and within 100 metres of the River and the Royal Regatta reach. There is full disabled access to the Hall and all its facilities. Wi-fi was recently installed.
The hall is set in a large walled garden with parking facilities and is the perfect setting for weddings, children’s parties up to age 12, meetings, classes, shows, lunches, suppers, family gatherings, etc.

Our village defibrillator is fixed on the front wall of the Parish Hall Store facing the lane. The instructions on the casing are to phone 999, ask for Ambulance, tell them where you are as detailed on bottom right hand side of the defibrillator, i.e. “Remenham Parish Hall, RG9 3DB”and they will give a code to open the box. Lift out the defibrillator if needed to take elsewhere. The Ambulance people will talk through the instructions until help arrives.
Hall bookings: We continue to receive enquiries for use of the hall throughout the year and have one wedding reception booked in the diary for August and have had other enquiries for later this year and into 2020. We are now attracting family gatherings, some from as far away as St Albans and Swindon! We have numerous children’s parties, dog training sessions four times each week, Sunday Yoga Retreat days and the Henley Arts and Crafts Guild hold classes throughout the year.
Do pass on the information for bookings to all and scroll through our pages for more details. Your contact is Pat Sly at remenhamhall@remenhamparish.org.uk
We have so far not seen the Midsomer Murders filmed in 2017 at some properties in Remenham and in the Parish Hall, although they have already been screened in the United States. Look out on ITV for Episodes 1 and 4 in Series 20.
We would be pleased to receive more donations of shrubs (in pots) to bring colour and interest to the garden. Please contact Pat Sly: remenhamhall@remenhamparish.org.uk
