Felixstowe could be classed an under-appreciated
destination for
conferences,
meetings and
events despite being highly prized as a tourist resort.
A charming and quintessentially English seaside resort, famously used as a retreat by Mrs. Simpson during the abdication crisis, Felixstowe sits on the glorious Suffolk coast which stretches 40 miles and have access to countryside and nature reserves making this an ideal location for both land and water-based
team building events and
corporate activities. Less adventurous delegates can indulge in
corporate golf events or be inspired in
conference venues fully equipped with first class
meeting facilities to ensure successful
corporate events.
Felixstowe is easy to reach via the A12 and A14, via good rail links including London Liverpool Street, and via flights into London Stansted or Norwich airports for international
conference delegates.
Sporting venues include the peaceful setting of
Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, perfect for
corporate golf days and small
meetings,
Brackenbury Leisure Centre and
Felixstowe Leisure Centre both of which provide large halls for
conferences and
training events alongside
meeting rooms for small delegates groups.
The Spa Pavilion is a cultural and
historic venue suited to large
conferences and
corporate events having capacity for up to 892 delegates whilst the restaurant, which overlooks the sea, provides
banqueting facilities.
Felixstowe hotels also offer excellent
conference and
banqueting suites, for example,
The Brook Hotel offers 2
meeting spaces, whilst
The Orwell Hotel is a stylish
historic venue also with
suites able to accommodate up to 250 delegates.
The Waverley Hotel regularly hosts meetings, conferences, corporate events, banquets and weddings, as does
The Marlborough Hotel, located on the sea front, which offers 5
conference spaces with capacity for up to 100 delegates.
