About
Our venues will cater for any large or small meeting, conference or exhibition. Keele University boasts a number of meeting spaces and generous accommodation alongside extensive facilities across the self-contained campus, meaning everything is close at hand for visiting delegates. The sporting facilities and rolling grounds provide opportunities for delegates’ leisure pursuits, allowing event organisers to cater for a variety of interests.
If you are looking for a venue to add elegance and gravitas to a special event, Keele Hall is ideal. This Grade II listed historic mansion, one of Staffordshire’s finest stately homes, was previously owned by the Sneyd family and stands in hundreds of acres of lush parkland and immaculate gardens. Many of the rooms retain their original features, making the setting quite unique. Keele Hall’s choice of rooms for day meetings, working lunches and networking events offers a range of meeting spaces to suit all needs. Keele Hall’s ballroom is the largest conference and banqueting space in Staffordshire, providing 500m2 of flexible space and can host up to 400 dinner guests making it suitable for any large event such as product launches, exhibitions, dinners, and awards evenings.
Keele campus is a leading campus with outstanding teaching facilities. It’s where traditional meets technology and all aspects of our commercial space has been fine tuned to host your conferences and corporate events.
The Keele University campus has five, tiered lecture theatres, extensive exhibition space and can accommodate all types of meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and events. Our clients have access to our excellent teaching spaces and exclusive use of buildings to provide a learning environment and business backdrop for your conferences, meetings, exhibitions and networking.
Campus accommodation becomes available during the summer vacation periods (June to September) which allows us to offer residential conferences. This means the campus lends itself to large two- or three-day events and is suitable for hosting residential summer schools.
For events requiring accommodation all year round you can use the Courtyard by Marriott on campus, offering 150 rooms.
