Create the Right Atmosphere
Choose a unique venue: Move beyond the typical conference room. The James Ward Mansion’s grand architecture, 24-foot ceilings, and historic details give your event an impressive setting from the moment guests arrive.
Make a great first impression: Welcome guests with drinks, refreshments, or a space to mingle. The Mansion’s elegant interiors create a warm and inviting arrival.
Give guests space to connect: Leave plenty of room for networking and conversation. The Mansion’s flexible spaces make it easy to create areas for dining, drinks, and socialising.
Make Your Event Stand Out
Add some entertainment: Live music, interactive activities, or a fun photo opportunity can give guests something to enjoy beyond the usual speeches and presentations.
Bring in your branding: Add your company’s personality through signage, menus, décor, or displays. The Mansion’s timeless design provides a beautiful backdrop for your brand.
Celebrate your team: Employee events are a great way to recognise hard work and celebrate achievements. The Mansion provides a special setting that feels different from the everyday workplace.
Let the venue do the work: You don’t need to overdo the décor. With gilded details, beautiful architecture, and elegant rooms, The James Ward Mansion already creates a memorable atmosphere.
