Stansted Conference Facilities In And Around Stansted Airport

London Stansted Airport is the UKs third largest airport serving the London area and the most rapidly expanding major airport in Europe. With 29 airlines offering flights to approximately 162 destinations, in access of 22 million passengers passed through the gates at Stansted Airport last year. A good percentage of these travellers are coming for business and as such Stansted International Airport is well provided for.

Executive business lounges are offered by both British Airways and Flybe for their customers, while Servisair offers this service for any passenger willing to pay 18 for the privilege. No children under the age of 12 are allowed and it offers a comfortable, air-conditioned environment with a range of complimentary drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks), snacks, newspapers, magazines, television, fax and Wi-Fi access. The lounge is open between 05:15-20:30 every day and is located air-side in Stansted Airport departures.

Whether for local businesses or for those flying in especially to meet up in Stansted, there is the United Business Centre located conveniently close to the airport in Endeavour House . This conference facility affords dramatic views over the runway and each room can host between 2 and 30 delegates with full secretarial support, telephones, faxes and Internet. For those not arranging a Stansted Airport car hire, a courtesy car can be requested to pick up attendees and bring them on site.

If a larger space is required then nearby Down Hall County House Hotel can help. This spectacular venue reeks of old world glamour with dazzling chandeliers, plush interiors and ornate architecture but is fully equipped for the 21st century. In total, Down Hall boasts 26 different event and meeting rooms, each soaked in natural light from its open spaces and high ceilings. The maximum conference capacity is 200 people and a Stansted Airport transfer would take just 15 minutes. There is also the opportunity for guests to take time out to clear their heads in the 110 acres of woodland and landscaped gardens which surrounds the hotel, leaving them revived for what else the day has in store.

While not quite on the same scale or grandeur, there are several venues within a short distance of Stansted Airport which can offer equal amounts of charm and character. Pearse House Hotel, just 10 minutes from Stansted, has a choice of 6 meeting rooms inside an imposing Victorian mansion, or there is Little Hallingbury Mill, a quaint retreat in a picturesque setting, which still has the wherewithal to accommodate up to 50 delegates with all mod cons.

Not quite so idyllic but nonetheless practical is the Latton Bush Conference Centre. Here inside this purpose built structure are several meeting, conference and boardrooms for hire with the main hall able to squeeze in 230 people seated or 300 standing. What it lacks in character however, it makes up for in gadgetry and everything from a PA system to a lectern and infra red hearing loop can be hired. The conference catering services are fairly ordinary but perfect for business meetings and are offered at reasonable rates.
