Kicking off the week with a fantastic offer that you won't want to miss! Starting today, we're launching our exclusive Monday Sale, where you can enjoy an incredible 30% off room hire when you book an event on a Monday. 👏

Why Monday, you might ask? Well, as a team, we've noticed that Mondays tend to be our quietest day. While this downtime allows us to recharge and reset after a bustling weekend, we also see it as an opportunity to make better use of our space. And what better way to do that than by offering you, our valued clients, a special discount on our upstairs rooms?

Our diverse selection of rooms provides something for everyone, whether you're hosting a corporate meeting, a workshop, a training session, or a networking event. From intimate spaces for small gatherings to spacious rooms for larger events, we've got you covered. Plus, with our Monday Sale, you can enjoy all the amenities and services Ridgeway Centre has to offer at an unbeatable price. Let me introduce you to the incredible rooms available at Ridgeway Centre for your next event, each offering its own unique features and atmosphere:

Wilberforce Suite: Our largest upstairs room, capable of accommodating up to 120 delegates, the Wilberforce Suite offers a spacious and airy environment. With its impressive view of our outside area, it sets a serene and tranquil ambiance, perfect for long meetings or training days where natural light is key to keeping everyone engaged and focused.

Fry Suite: Sleek, modern, and undoubtedly one of our most popular training rooms, the Fry Suite provides ample space ideal for training sessions of all kinds. Its contemporary design and layout make it a versatile choice for various events and gatherings.

Gordon and Nightingale: Nestled on the opposite side of the hallway, both Gordon and Nightingale rooms offer the same size and capacity, accommodating up to 44 people each. These rooms are perfect for smaller, more intimate team meetings, where a boardroom setup is preferred. With plenty of natural daylight streaming in, your day is sure to fly by in these comfortable and inviting spaces.

More Suite: Are you in search of a relaxed and casual space for your team to meet while remaining productive on their laptops? Look no further than the More Suite. Set up in a lounge layout with cosy sofas, this room epitomises comfort and convenience, providing the perfect environment for collaborative work sessions or brainstorming meetings.

Here's how it works:
📅 Book your event on a Monday.
💼 Choose from our range of versatile rooms.
💬 When enquiring, quote "Monday Sale".
💰 Enjoy a fantastic 30% discount on room hire.
It's that simple!

By taking advantage of our Monday Sale, not only will you save on room hire costs, but you'll also have the opportunity to experience the exceptional facilities and hospitality that Ridgeway Centre is known for.

Let's make Mondays marvellous together! ✨

Thrilled to announce the latest addition to our website that promises to elevate your event experiences: our brand new Catering Page! 🥐 🍝 🍩

As a team, we recently met to think of ways to enhance the user experience of our website, ensuring it's as seamless and intuitive as possible. During this deep dive, we identified an area that deserved special attention: our catering menus. Despite the range and variety of culinary delights we offer, we noticed that they weren't getting the spotlight they truly deserved.

Recognising that food is often the highlight of any event, we collaborated closely with our talented website developers to rectify this. The result? A dedicated Catering Page that showcases our extensive repertoire of delectable offerings, ready to take centre stage at your next gathering.

From flavourful hot buffets to irresistibly crispy breakfast rolls, our catering menu boasts an array of options guaranteed to satisfy every palate.

But our commitment to excellence doesn't stop there. We understand that each event is unique, which is why we specialise in crafting bespoke packages tailored to your specific preferences and ideas. So, if you don't see your favourite dish on our menus, don't hesitate to reach out – we're here to turn your culinary dreams into reality.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of being part of countless events where the catering truly stole the show. And let's face it, when is food ever not the main event? Whether it's a corporate lunch, an exhibition or an intimate business meeting we believe that exceptional food has the power to transform any occasion into an unforgettable experience.

With our new Catering Page, we invite you to explore the possibilities and embark on a culinary journey like no other. Let us take the stress out of planning your next event, so you can enjoy the day as much as the attendees!

Visit our website today to discover our mouth-watering offerings and let's start planning your perfect event together.
