You can do almost anything in Alternative Venues South East

Alternative Venues South East is managed by the South East Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association (SE RFCA). We look after the interests of Reservists and Cadets throughout our nine counties and are a non-profit making organisation. The income we derive from letting Army Reserve Centres is re-invested into the Reserve and Cadet Estate.

We maintain 35 Army Reserve Centres which range from the very latest state-of-the-art Army Reserve Centres such as Edward Brooks Barracks near Abingdon, to 19th Century buildings, steeped in history, such as Brock Barracks in Reading or Linkfield House in Redhill, as well as training areas such as Jersey Camp on the Isle of Wight – ideal for team building exercises. We also look after over 300 Cadet sites, ideal for smaller meetings for local organisations and charities.

The opportunities:

Conferences, meetings and lectures

From a board meeting room for 20 to a large public gathering in a Drill Hall for 250 or more, we can provide well-equipped facilities in a variety of locations – and to suit a variety of budgets.

Wedding receptions, cocktail parties, luncheons and dinners

From the sophistication and intimacy of an Officers' Mess to the splendour of a dinner for 250, we offer venues with style and elegance, all of which are equipped with professional kitchens.

Training and sports

For physical or safety training and indoor sports, our properties have the versatility to suit any requirement.

Local meetings and playgroups

Many of our buildings are regularly used by local businesses/societies/charities/playgroups.

Demonstrations

With inside and outside facilities, our venues provide the ideal premises for all types of equipment and procedural demonstrations.

Film Locations and rehearsals

From the grandeur of historic buildings to the drabness of pre-war Drill halls, our locations can become whatever you require them to be – star of the screen or the backdrop – plus they have very secure storage and parking for equipment. Our venues are also used for rehearsals.

Our Venues

Whatever your need, we will have a venue to suit and at a price you'll find hard to beat.
