Following the refurbishment and reopening of St Mary’s Guildhall last summer, the heritage venue has launched a new conference package.
Packages for groups of 10 to 150 are available within the Guildhall’s variety of rooms, including in its Great Hall for parties and events.
Operators No Ordinary Hospitality Management (NOHM), who also operate Coombe Abbey, are hoping it will draw custom from across the UK.
The refurbishment has been made possible through the Cultural Capital Investment Fund resourced by Coventry City Council, Arts Council England, and the Government’s Getting Britain Building Fund through Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership and with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
Abi Moore, heritage and venue manager of St Mary’s Guildhall, said: “We are the oldest/newest conference venue in the UK. The total restoration of St Mary’s Guildhall has been superb and we have had a great response in terms of visitors, and we hope to see a similar trend through our corporate venue hire options, with opportunities to host small, intimate gatherings or large banquets and receptions in a truly unique setting.
“We are very keen to attract meetings and conferences – which is the modern equivalent of why the Guildhall was created in the first place – and we believe we have created a product which offers a very historic setting but with modern meeting capabilities.”
