Corporate Events and Hospitality in Suffolk

Come to Suffolk for a unique company outing or corporate client entertainment.



Kesgrave Hall, Ipswich is a superb venue for corporate events and meetings. They have a choice of three excellent meeting rooms, with capacities to hold between 1 and 24 people. Each room has state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment as well as refreshment facilities and more. Kesgrave's close proximity to the A12 makes it easy to locate, and a number of team building activities are available on the pretty lawn, such as archery and laser clay pigeon shooting. Please click on the link above for more information.

Suffolk offers a tremendous range of activities to enjoy from Day's Out at Newmarket Races, or sponsoring a box at the Aldeburgh Festival, as well as providing some first class hospitality facilities and accommodation to relax in. Where else could you do a team building 'Run a Railway day'?! See Colne Valley Railway.



Could you could handle these levers in the Signal Box, and keep the train on track?

There are lots of reasons to organise your Corporate Events and Hospitality in Suffolk – here are just some of them:

1) proximity and easy access from London, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk by road, rail or air

You can hire a coach or let the train take the strain. Our regional train operator, National Express, has a very good punctuality record for East Anglia, and London trains depart from Liverpool Street, which is easily accessible.

Suffolk is very close to Stansted Airport for Ryanair and Easyjet flights (via the A120 dual carriageway), as well as Norwich Airport for Flybe.

2) Suffolk offers a wide range of corporate hospitality events and packages from team building days at Suffolk Moto Park for quad biking; world class corporate entertaining and sponsorship packages at Aldeburgh Music or Newmarket Races; golf days at Hintlesham Hall; cruises on the River Orwell on the Lady Florence Cruises, or Viking Mariners, who provide corporate events and days out.



Or you might prefer to host a picnic at one of the Music Festivals Suffolk has over the Summer – all types of music are on offer from classical in Hadleigh and Long Melford, Jazz at Spencers and Bures, to modern at Mintlesham and Thetford Forest. Every taste is catered for here in Suffolk. Click here to find out more about Music in Suffolk.



Not many people can resist the lure of the Great Escape Cars offering a selection of classic cars – hire them for the day and experience the joys of open top motoring on Suffolks’ lovely country roads – a challenging and rewarding drive, maybe built around a countryside treasure hunt, or a (low alcohol) pub crawl!



There's lots on offer to keep your clients entertained in Suffolk.

3) Suffolk Hotels are first class – have a look at The Swan at Lavenham and Hintlesham Hall Hotel, Ipswich, as just two of many many examples.



We have large Hotels that can cater for big events all offering first rate leisure and business facilities such as The Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf and Spa or the Best Western Ufford Park Hotel, Woodbridge which features large and roomy function facilities in a luxury setting.

Suffolk also offer smaller, more intimate Hotels for Board meetings and executive away days, such as The Crown and Castle, Orford or Milsoms in Dedham.

4) Our Restaurants and catering Companies are world class – for quality, taste, reliability and value. For example the award winning The Great House in Lavenham, Bildeston Crown, Milsoms Catering, the Fox and Goose in Fressingfield.

5) You’ll find that Suffolk offers far better value for corporate hospitality events than London or the Home Counties, so your budget will go further.

And as a momento of your day, Shopping in Suffolk can provide a range of unique gifts to remind participants of the great experience they shared. Again the range of choice in Suffolk is unbeatable - you can choose from everything from a delicious hamper of locally produced foods from Ufford Produce and Provisions, a cheeky gift from Kitty's Home Store, some Executive Stress Relief premium quality aromatherapy products, or perhaps a pair of handmade sheepskin gloves from Nursey and Son of Bungay?



Suffolk offers a peaceful yet accessible location which makes it a great business option and a perfect base for team building and outdoor events. The county's excellent links with London, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, as well as the eastern coastal ports and airports at Stansted and Norwich, make it ideal for hosting business conferences, corporate exhibitions, business seminars, product launches and all business and corporate entertaining. So whatever your requirements for corporate hospitality, Corporate Events and Hospitality in Suffolk is the answer.
