For a venue that combines versatility, affordability, and strategic location, look no further than the Richmond Athletic Ground, known by locals as the RAG. The venue offers an ideal setting for various events, whether you’re looking for somewhere to host your next conference, board meeting, private celebration, wedding, wake, commercial filming, film crew parking, or company party.
A historical gem built in 1886, nestled in the heart of Richmond within the expansive Old Deer Park leisure area, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more versatile venue than that of the RAG. The dedicated in-house events team are eager to collaborate with bookers, ensuring your unique needs are met, and orchestrating a high quality event within the charming surroundings of the Richmond Athletic Club. Within 26 acres of green space, this site is bordered by the Pools on the Park leisure centre and the Royal Mid Surrey Golf Club, creating a backdrop of natural beauty.
The venue's rich history includes the presence of a driving range and the Richmond Bowls Club until the 1990s. Evolving with the times, the former driving range has been transformed into three marked pitches, while the Bowls Club area now serves as a versatile AstroTurf space available for diverse activities. The Club Room holds up to 100 guests seated for dinner, whilst The Murray Judd Room can accommodate 150.
For parties, the team will help you create a menu that caters to your every desire, and have the bar fully stocked with some delicious tipples to wash everything down. For conferences and meetings, venue hire comes with up to 300 private on-site car parking spaces, and the venue is just five minutes walk away from Richmond train station.
The rooms are equipped with large screen TVs, AV equipment, wireless microphones, lectern and free Wi-Fi.
