Kettering Park Hotel & Spa

Just one hour from central London, Kettering Park Hotel & Spa is a top East Midlands venue for weddings and celebrations, and for meetings and events for up to 260 guests. The first-rate services and facilities will do you proud for your next conference, exhibition, product launch, training or team building day, awards ceremony, dinner-dance, networking reception, or for that very special summer or Christmas party.

Kettering Park Hotel & Spa has 17 meeting and event spaces; the biggest is the Rutland Suite, holding 260 people in theatre style, or 120 in classroom layout. It can be divided into two smaller rooms that both seat 100 and 60 in the same respective layouts. The Rockingham Suite is a similar size with a maximum capacity of 100 delegates in theatre style. The Althorp holds 50 guests in theatre style, 40 in cabaret configuration or 18 for a board meeting; The Barnsdale has room for up to 40, and the Oakham and Harrington Suites both seat up to 30. The Weekley and Woodford Rooms, along with the Walgrave Room are superb for smaller meetings for up to 10 people, and the six boardrooms are perfect for pow-wows for 6.

You can opt for a laid-back approach to meetings if you want it – you know, huge bean bags to sit on, giant Jenga and other games for break outs. There’s an all-day Conference Café, or if you prefer your own space hire the Little Harrowden. In any case you’ll have a dedicated meetings co-ordinator, complimentary high-speed wifi, and audio-visual equipment arranged as needed. There are attractively priced delegate packages, including breakfast and lunch meetings, or events can be tailored to exactly how you want them. The venue can arrange exciting team building activities, like Escape Rooms, The Apprentice, off-road Landrover days, and golf days.

All 119 bedrooms have TVs, mini fridges, free wifi, and a pillow menu. Overnight guests have use of the pool, sauna, steam room and gym, and there’s an award-winning restaurant with an outdoor terrace where you can dine when it’s warm; in the colder months stay inside by the open fire.

The hotel has parking for 250 cars and is easily reached from the M1 and M6. Kettering railway station is just over 1.5 miles away, Birmingham Airport is 49 miles distant, and East Midlands Airport, 53 miles.
