Description

In the shadow of the ancient castle of Old Sarum and close by the banks of the river Avon, the AR Centre is situated in the midst of a vibrant, new housing and industrial development on the outskirts of Salisbury. The lively city of Salisbury is located in the south-east of Wiltshire, near the edge of Salisbury Plain. It sits at the confluence of five rivers: the Nadder, Ebble, Wylye, Bourne and Avon, which flows towards the sea at Christchurch, Dorset. Salisbury boasts a thriving market, an outstanding cathedral, several museums, a racecourse and the renown Odstock Hospital.

The Army reserve Centre once was the Station Headquarters of the famous RAF station, which is now a friendly local aerodrome. It was built in 1936 to the standard RAF pattern, making it a spacious and well laid out building. It is 2 miles from the centre of town, which has excellent onward road and rail links. The Army Reserve Centre is a convenient venue for a variety of events such as filming, conferences, seminars, meetings or use as an occasional office away from home.

It has a pleasant Conference Room/ Dining Room which can seat 30 easily around the table and which provides a prestigious location for fine entertaining. The kitchen can cater for all types of events from formal dinners to light refreshments. There is one classroom, a large hall and a well appointed lounge/bar.
