CONF ERENCING
MADINGLEY HALL
For the ultimate in traditional looks and atmosphere, it’s hard to beat the quintessential appeal of Madingley Hall. When meeting room features include stone-mullion leaded windows, 17th-century tapestries or an Italianate plaster ceiling, you know you’re somewhere pretty special. There’s considerable flexibility, too, when it comes to planning events. While the fittings are definitely permanent, the furniture isn’t, ensuring the rooms, which can cater for between three and 100, can be laid out in more or less any
configuration. Add the 62 bedrooms, including 21 double and five twin (freshly decorated and every room now has an iron), and you’ve got a venue that provides a stunning backdrop to enhance the most forward-thinking conferences and events. Four miles from the centre of Cambridge, but within easy reach of good transport links, Madingley Hall’s stunning architecture is matched by grounds that include a two-acre meadow
and an 18th-century courtyard. madingleyhall.co.uk/conferences
GRANTA CENTRE
The Granta Centre prides itself on offering almost limitless possibilities and whatever the size of the meeting, there’s plenty of space for inspirational thinking that creates a sense of energy that’s almost tangible. Lit by natural daylight, the flexible spaces – offering integrated AV and video conferencing – consist of eight rooms that work for anything from intimate meetings for three delegates to large scale conferences for 300 people. In a park setting just seven miles from Cambridge (and a mere 45 minutes from London and within easy reach of the M11, A14 and A11), it’s also ultra-accessible frommany UK and international locations. As a result, it’s an understandably popular venue for a wide range of organisations, both local and from further afield. grantacentre.co.uk
