A: Rooms at Cannon Hall cater for groups of up to eighty delegates with small seminar rooms available that can accommodate 2-12 people. In the Spencer Wing a number of layouts can be provided and equipped with TV/Video, OHP, multi-media projector, screen and freestanding flipchart if required. The Seminar rooms have a wall mounted white board or flipchart and OHP and screen available. All rooms have at least two double electrical sockets.

Q: Do you do catering?

A: Our in-house caterer can provide Buffet lunches on the day. However, if you are not booking a full day event and do not require lunch, then tea, coffee and biscuits or cakes are available. Menu details are available on request.

Special diets, for example gluten free or vegetarian need to be identified on your booking form.

Lunch will be served in your conference suite or the Stanhope Room, depending on numbers. Parties may be served in the Servants Hall (subject to availability) offering delegates the chance to experience life "below stairs". Hot meals are available on request.

At least 7 days notice is required for catering arrangements. We will try to meet your requests for increased numbers on the day, however a 50% charge is made for cancellations, or reductions, of less than 7 days notice (less than 48 hours notice of reductions/cancellations - 100% charged).

Why not try our orienteering course, it makes a great team building activity, and its free to conference delegates. Please book in advance.

Don't forget that we offer a corporate hospitality service, which includes evenings and weekends. We can tailor make a corporate package to suit your needs.
