De Vere Venues Wokefield Park

Country Calm with City Sounds Nearby

Modern countryside comfort meets concert convenience at De Vere Venues Wokefield Park. Nestled within 250 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens just outside Reading, this recently renovated estate offers a peaceful retreat with high-end amenities, including a gym, pool, and even its own 18-hole championship golf course. Whether you're here to unwind after a show or gear up for a musical weekend, this hotel brings a perfect blend of rest and recreation.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a 15-minute drive from central Reading and less than 2 miles from Mortimer Rail Station, this hotel makes getting to local venues a breeze. Despite its country setting, late-night returns are stress-free thanks to easy road access and ride-share availability. The peaceful estate setting also means you can count on a good night’s sleep post-concert. With check-in from 15:00 and a leisurely check-out time of 11:00, there’s no rush the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to combine live music with a relaxing escape
• Solo travelers attending a must-see gig in Reading
• Couples turning a concert into a countryside weekend
• Fans needing a calm space to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The hotel offers a traditional British menu all day at the 1560 Restaurant, and seasonal dishes at The View restaurant. For post-concert bites or wind-down drinks, you’ve got the cozy Whiskey Lounge and Benedict’s Bar on-site. While room service isn’t 24/7, the variety of dining options means you’re covered before and after your gig. Breakfast is available for those slower mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about quiet luxury than live DJs, it does offer a refined bar scene with local spirits and wines. Craving more action? A short ride gets you to Reading’s pubs, live music bars, and lounges, where the night continues long after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the tranquil setting, the modern renovations, and the comfortable rooms. The estate’s size and scenic surroundings are a major plus, especially for those looking to unwind between shows. Many reviewers also highlight the friendly staff and the excellent breakfast spread.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that because the estate is large, you might have a bit of a walk between buildings or back to your room. It’s also not directly in the city, so you'll need to plan transport to and from concert venues—but most find this a fair trade for the peaceful atmosphere.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a serene base with solid amenities and easy access to Reading’s music scene, De Vere Venues Wokefield Park hits all the right notes.
