The Avenue Halls
Welcome to Kew Community Trust’s Avenue Halls, based in the heart of Kew. The Halls, which consist of five spaces of different sizes, can be hired for adult or children’s parties, weddings and other celebrations. They are also ideal for activities, classes or meetings, and are available for one-off events or regular hire.
The income raised through the hire of the halls contributes towards the funding of the charitable activities of Kew Community Trust, namely The Avenue Club, a social club for the whole community, as well as the upkeep of the building for the benefit of the residents of Kew.
Latest Update:
19th JULY 2021
The Centre is now open for those activities allowed under the Government’s relaxation of lockdown measures. We remain delighted to be able to accommodate more of our regular hirers (and now have space for more hirers if you are interested).
Information on classes which hirers usually run can be found here.
We are now taking enquiries and bookings for the hiring of the halls for regular or one-off events. We expect Government guidelines to be followed.

WEDDING RECEPTIONS
Unlike some wedding venues, we don’t try to take over your ‘big day’ – we simply leave you free to bring in your own caterers, florists, musicians, decorators and indeed any one else that you choose! We don’t charge corkage or commission.
CHILDREN’S PARTIES
The Alexandra Hall upstairs is a lovely environment for your child’s next birthday party, with plenty of room to run around. The Marwood Room is light and airy, with its own separate entrance. We provide the space so you can arrange the entertainment you want.
CELEBRATIONS
With the choice of five different spaces we can accommodate any size of party from 10 to 150 guests. All spaces can be decorated for a themed event and our well equipped kitchen can be used to cater for any party or celebration.
EVENTS/MEETINGS
We can cater for up to 200 people seated theatre style in the Main Hall if you need a space to hold your event. We also have small meeting rooms if you need a space to meet clients in or hold a meeting away from the office.
CLASSES
A wide variety of groups meet here and diverse classes are offered (from Yoga for adults, karate for both adults and children and Monkey Music to performing arts for children). Please contact us about running a regular class or workshop here.
FUNERAL RECEPTIONS/WAKES
The Halls’ proximity to local churches and Mortlake Crematorium makes the venue an ideal choice. With five different rooms to choose from we can accommodate funeral receptions for up to 200 people. All the rooms offer a calm environment and the well-equipped kitchen can be used for your catering needs when you hire the Main Hall.
