About Us
Berkshire Furs brings together furries from across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, and beyond; and provides an enjoyable, fun, safe, and social environment for everyone.
Our Venue
Meet our venue - our meets take place at the Phantom Brewing Co. Reading.
The Space
We have a private space dedicated just for Berkshire Furs at the Phantom Brewing Co, with our own dedicated toilets and bar. A doorway separates us from the general public, giving our meet a more exclusive feel. As usual we will have a fursuit changing area as well as plenty of space for socialising.
Food and Drink
NEW - The Phantom Brewery has partnered with 7Bone to offer a service where you can order and have your food delivered straight to your table! QR codes are available to scan, and you can view the menu here.
Vegan options are available!
Slightly different from our previous venue, outside food is allowed! Bring your own snacks and even hot food. You can even order Deliveroo, UberEats or Just Eat straight to the venue.
Outside drinks are however not permitted, free water is available and a range of soft drinks and locally brewed beer is available. "How local" you ask? Well, much of it was likely brewed right in the same building.
Our Venue
Our Phantom Brewing Co. venue is located in a quiet residental part of Reading and is a short 10 - 15 minute walk from the station for anyone using the train or bus to travel.
If you are travelling to the venue by car, limited spaces can be found out front - however parking is readily available in the surrounding streets (please check local parking restrictions).
