Christening and naming day venue in Brentwood

After the service, bring everyone back to the Weald. Our clubhouse is a bright, private room with its own fully stocked bar and a view over the cricket square, with off-road parking and step-free access, a few minutes from Brentwood town centre.

  • Up to 100 guests inside
  • Fully stocked bar
  • Step-free access
  • Free on-site parking

Room for the whole family

It is one open room, so grandparents, godparents and friends are all in the same space. There is room for a buffet, a cake table and a quiet corner for the baby. You can bring your own caterer, and the bar can be staffed by the club or left to you.

Outside space when the weather is kind

Twelve acres of Weald Park sit either side of the pavilion. On a fine day, family photos by the square and a bit of space for children to run about are part of the appeal. Outdoor use is by arrangement, so just mention it in your enquiry.

Comfortable all year

The 2024 refit added new flooring, heating, air conditioning and insulation, so the room works for a February christening as well as a June one.
