Tour of the Great Hall of the University of Reading

Join the Friends of Reading University, in this, the centenary year of the University, for a guided tour of this Grade 2 listed building, located on the University of Reading’s London Road campus. Designed in 1905 and opened for use in 1906, it was built for use as an assembly hall for the University College, as it was then known, and was intended to be available to the College while other buildings were being erected. The fine Binns organ was installed in 1910.

The meeting place will be notified a few days before the visit. Please arrive 10 mins early for signing in and safety briefing etc.

Numbers are limited, so pre-booking is required. Bookings close three days beforehand.
