The event spaces can be rented within the following timeframes:

• Fridays: 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM
• Saturdays: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM

Please note, effective July 1, 2025, the FULL Community Room is no longer available for private rental.* This policy was implemented to protect the facility infrastructure and to ensure the venue can support community programming. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you are looking to host a larger event of 100-150 guests, please consider our sister property, the Glastonbury Boathouse.

*Exceptions for non-profits - 501c3 nonprofit organizations may be granted use of the FULL Community Room for events directly benefitting the organization. Such use is subject to Town approval on a case-by-case basis. Please click here for more information about nonprofit reservations.

What does my rental include?

Reservations include use of the space, set-up and breakdown of the tables and chairs assigned to that room, and custodial support. Community Room A/B rentals also include use of the back patio, weather permitting. Please see the schedule of rental fees and available hours below.

Food and Beverage Service

Renters may bring in prepared food and nonalcoholic beverages, however, kitchen access is NOT permitted for renters. Our commercial kitchen can only be used by the Town’s Approved Catering partners and in conjunction with a rental reservation in Community Room A.

Reservations

The RCC rental spaces are used for Town and community programming year-round and are therefore only available for private rental on weekends and during the timeframes noted below. This excludes holidays observed by the Town of Glastonbury. A 6-hour minimum reservation is required for all spaces and must include setup/cleanup time. Please note that the Town cannot store items for delivery/pickup outside of your reservation block.

Event spaces are only available for rent within the following timeframes:
