Last week we formally opened The Meadow Room as a business venue perfect for training, workshops, strategy days, team building days and more. Some local business owners attended the open event to find out more.
It makes a perfect spot for escaping the hustle and bustle of the corporate world in the tranquil setting of the Suffolk countryside.
Catering can be provided by Roots cafe as part of the offering. It can currently seat up to 16 long table, 30 in theatre style and 40/50 for stand up networking.
Set on the estate there are many walks and outdoor space available for team building or walks available during hire.
So if you are looking for a small and quiet space away from the office – for whatever reason, the room is available for hire. More can be found on our website – link in comments.
