Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel

A wonderful setting for all manner of corporate events, from conferences, awards ceremonies, banquets and parties, to product launches, training days, exhibitions and executive meetings. Set in 6 acres of private and lush green grounds on the outskirts of York’s historic walled city, close to the River Ouse, Georgian splendour and contemporary style blend seamlessly at this popular venue.

The self-contained Parkside Suite has capacity for up to 180 delegates in theatre style, or 150 for a dinner; it has its own bar and dance floor, and can be divided into two smaller rooms, the Park Lane and the Park Avenue, both holding up to 80 guests for a sit-down affair. The Pioneer Room accommodates 40 people in theatre style or 26 in boardroom layout, whilst the slightly smaller Cambridge seats 30 in theatre style and 12 for a board meeting. For something more atmospheric the Oak Room, as the name suggests, features original oak panelling, and has a wonderful draped tented ceiling; this room holds a maximum of 25 guests. Equally appealing, the antique carved panelling in the Library lends itself to distinguished meetings for 12 executives in board room layout.

All rooms have air conditioning and are wheelchair friendly; a fully-fledged events team will be on hand to ensure that all runs to perfection, and you’re assured of high speed wifi and up-to-the-minute audio-visual equipment. Delegate packages are attractively priced and offer quite a choice of refreshments and lunches.

If travel necessitates an overnight stay, there are 89 blissfully comfortable bedrooms offering restful snooze space for your delegates; complimentary high speed wifi, HD TV’s, and tea and coffee making facilities are all standard. The in-house restaurant, the Fairfield Bar and Brasserie, is one of York’s finest; select from three very tempting menus with exquisitely sumptuous dishes on each - even the fussiest of palates will be satisfied.

With easy access from the A1, Mercure York, Fairfield Manor Hotel has free parking for 120 cars, and is just 3.5 miles from York railway station, with Leeds Bradford Airport about 30 miles away.
