Keele Hall
Within the Keele University Campus near Stoke on Trent, Keele Hall is a magnificent stately home set in hundreds of acres of glorious English parkland, with formal gardens and lakes. With such an attractive setting and fabulous meeting rooms, this is a popular venue for a variety of corporate events, from large conferences and product launches, to intimate board meetings and private dining.
The Salvin Suite is made up of three rooms – The Salvin Room, the original Drawing Room to the house, has a gorgeously ornate ceiling and views of the Italian Gardens and lakes. This room can host 115 in theatre style or 99 for a banquet. The Great Hall is an atmospheric, light and airy space for conferences for 80, or standing receptions for 100. The Old Library is perfect for more discreet meetings and private dining for 18-40 guests.
There are 9 further rooms are available for smaller meetings for up to 36 people; these rooms are quite different in style, some having a fresh and modern feel, others having a more traditional setting with original features and period architecture. Most of the rooms have wonderful views of the gardens, lawns or lakes. The smaller rooms can be used to provide space for breakout sessions, refreshments and lunch, or registrations and welcome receptions.
The rooms at Keele Hall are available year-round; out of term time, there are a further 60 meeting rooms for hire, mainly classrooms and lecture theatres, within the university campus. With complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, Keele Hall offers a bespoke Conference Management service to arrange every aspect of your event, including audio visual technology and support.
