Planning Your Conference
Let us take the lead
When you hire our conference venue, a dedicated event manager will be your key point of contact from start to finish. With so many spaces to choose from, they’ll match the right room to every session and coordinate layouts, staging, AV and supplier access around your programme.
On the day, our experienced team will be on site to keep timings on track and make sure every space is ready for what comes next.
Elevated conference catering
Food for thought
Good catering keeps a conference moving. Start the day with coffee and pastries, then serve working lunches or generous buffets that keep delegates talking. Afternoon refreshments and sweet treats get everyone through the final session.
Our chefs plan seasonal menus, putting British produce and plant-based dishes first and working towards zero waste. Every menu is tailored to your timings, numbers and dietary requirements. For evening events, we can host a drinks reception, sharing menu or scenic three-course dinner.
