For large scale conferences, where setting is just as important as content, hosting an event in Britain’s first city gives it an added sense of prestige and means that transport links are well developed. Colchester is within easy reach of London, Stansted Airport and major rail connections, offering excellent national access without the high costs and congestion of a venue within the capital. Event Essex’s self-contained campus makes it a secure and practical choice for large gatherings, and we have the ability to host clients in on-site accommodation if needed. Outside the conference rooms, guests can enjoy award-winning grounds, various catering options, and a dedicated events team who ensure every detail runs smoothly. 

Hosting a conference here is more than just convenient. It reflects pride in our history, and your future. Whether it’s a major event such as the Beth Chatto symposium, or academic conferences and classical concerts (all of which we’ve proudly hosted), Event Essex offers the perfect setting where every detail is planned for success.

If you are interested in hosting large scale conferences the team at Event Essex brings unmatched expertise in creating memorable, large-scale experiences. To find out more about hosting your next event with them, contact the team today.
