When did you last
visit Keele?
If your role involves event organisation, or your company regularly hosts events
in the Midlands, then our venues could be the perfect backdrop to your next
event.
W
hen was the last time you
visited Keele University…
and did you know that
our exceptional teaching facilities
are utilised by our Events and
Conferencing team to host over 1500
events per year?
Keele University Events and
Conferencing is Staffordshire’s leading
event space, right in the heart of the
University’s 600 acres of beautiful
grounds. The recently completed,
comprehensive refurbishment of the
University’s conferencing facilities
positions the University as a premier
venue within the academic sector and
has created a collection of outstanding,
versatile spaces for all types of events.
Event organisers have the University’s
full range of services and facilities at
their disposal alongside a dedicated
events team who specialise in creating
truly bespoke events.
The newly refurbished Chancellor’s
Complex sits at the centre of the
campus and has five large lecture
theatres, including the 400-seat
Westminster Theatre, making it
well suited to seminars, forums and
lectures. In addition, there are 24
syndicate rooms which allow for
breakout space and smaller events
such as team meetings, presentations
and team building.
Next to the Chancellor’s Complex is
Dorothy Hodgkin, which has five large
lecture theatres accommodating up to
230 delegates. This venue can also be
used as an over-flow facility for events
taking place at Chancellor’s Complex.
With two large, self-contained spaces
right next door to each other, there’s
a lot of scope for hosting large scale
events in the heart of the University
campus.
The newly opened Denise Coates
Foundation Building is home to
Keele Business School and the
Smart Innovation Hub. This multi-
million-pound state of the art facility
provides support for the creation and
growth of innovation-led businesses
and aims to foster business links
across Staffordshire. In addition to
the new teaching spaces, there are
several event spaces perfect for SME
networking events, product launches
and training.
For a more traditional venue, look
to Keele Hall, in the centre of the
campus, the University’s most striking
venue. If you're looking for a venue to
add elegance and gravitas to a special
event, Keele Hall is ideal. The historic
mansion, one of Staffordshire’s finest
stately homes, stands in immaculate
gardens and offers beautiful
surroundings for a memorable event.
The ballroom is the largest conference
and banqueting space in Staffordshire,
providing 500 m² of flexible space
and can host up to 400 dinner guests
making it suitable for any large event
such as exhibitions, gala dinners and
awards evenings.
