Welcome to the website of Bracknell Nepalese Society.
Bracknell has a growing Nepali community. It is in
Berkshire, South East England, about 11 miles east of Reading, 9 miles south of
Maidenhead, and 34 miles west of central London.
Nepalese people started settling in Bracknell and nearby
areas around 30 years ago. What began as a few households has now grown to
several hundred.
Most of Bracknell’s Nepalese community consists of former
Gurkha soldiers and their families. Some were stationed at nearby garrisons in
Aldershot and Sandhurst and chose to stay in Bracknell after retirement. Others
moved from Nepal after gaining the right to settle in the UK.
The rest of the Nepalese population includes individuals and
families who moved to the UK for work and later settled in Bracknell.
