We recently held our 50th Anniversary at the Corn Exchange in Newbury. It was the perfect venue, even more so for us as the idea for our largely successful and Global Seating Business was formed here, all those years ago.
Hannah was amazing to work with; my colleague and I visited beforehand to view the space and discussed in detail with Hannah what our requirements were. Hannah was the perfect host, offering tea or coffee on arrival and making sure our needs were met. The whole process flowed so well from start to finish because of Hannah's attention to detail.

Having worked with the Corn Exchange for my Son’s birthday celebration, as an Events Director I am very particular about what I need for an event whether work or personally and the team at the Corn Exchange have been a dream to work with. From the outset we had a meeting to discuss how we wanted the event to run, the staff were friendly and the whole event went really well!
I would highly recommend the Corn Exchange for your events.

The Corn Exchange was the perfect choice for my book launch, and everyone who attended was very impressed by the location - and envious of Newbury to have such a facility.
Please also pass on my thanks to the catering and bar staff who provided such an excellent service. It'll be a while before I'm in a position to launch a second novel but I'll certainly recommend the Corn Exchange to any other members of my writing group if they have a book they'd like to launch.
