SPACE EXPLORATION
GRANTA CENTRE
In the heart of Granta Park, a tech- focused community in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, Granta Centre is a modern, purpose-built facility designed to host events including exhibitions, conferences and team-building days. It’s far enough from the city centre (about seven miles) that traffic is no issue, but close enough to be easily accessible – plus, there are hundreds of free parking spaces. Inside, guests are greeted with the main boulevard, ‘The Street’, where they’ll be met by their dedicated event manager, who stays on hand throughout the day. This is also where you’ll find the on-site coffee bar, Street Cafe, where you can grab a hot drink and chat with your guests (or check your emails using the free Wi-Fi). Whether you’ve got three or 300 delegates, there’s hundreds of square feet of flexibility inside the centre, which can be configured to best suit your requirements. Available spaces include the Abington, which overlooks a cricket pitch and can accommodate up to 100, mid-sized meeting rooms for between 30 and 60, plus smaller rooms such as Linton and Duxford, which are ideal for
more intimate meetings. All have floor- to-ceiling windows, air-con, the latest AV equipment, and come equipped with bottled water, spare stationary, and all those other handy extras that your delegates might need (but will inevitably forget!). The centre also has two large lecture rooms, which can be combined for big groups of up to 250, offering an impressive space with four large screens to allow for wow-factor presentations and screenings. When it comes to lunch, the catering options are endless. Whether you want a buffet, sit-down banquet or a quick sandwich and juice in a breakout room, the team will work with you to come up with a solution that best fits the flow of your day, serving up top-quality, local produce. Of all the impressive facilities, it’s the team themselves that really make events here special, says centre It's the service, the attention to detail and the food that makes people want to come back"
