The Home of Cricket, which has become recognised for the variety of its different event spaces from the ultra-modern J.P. Morgan Media Centre to the historic Grade II* listed Pavilion, is offering a £49.50 DDR targeted at budget conscious conference bookers. The no frills package includes a choice of three different menus and can be booked in a number of rooms within the Ground.
The choice of venues, within Lord’s, include the Thomas Lord Suite; a fully AV-supported conference space and the Nursery Pavilion, a 1000sq of event space which is extremely flexible and can cater for up to 600 guests.
The J.P. Morgan Media Centre, which overlooks the most famous field in world cricket, has seen demand from organisers for forum style events, with its tiered seating promoting a high level of interaction.
Corporate clients who have held conferences at Lord’s over the past 12 months include The Incorporated Society of British Advertisers, Ascert and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Menus reflect Lord’s commitment to sourcing local provenance; meat from the award-winning Pipers Farm, Cullompton in Devon and deliveries of field-fresh vegetables and herbs daily. Three different varieties of cold buffet lunches feature homemade recipes such as Scotch Quail Eggs and Lemon Poached Salmon Ballantine with a Light Caesar Salad, while tea, coffee and herbal infusions are served to delegates at four different points throughout the day.
Nick Kenton, Meetings & Events Sales Manager at Lord’s, said: “This new DDR underlines our dedication to keeping conferences at Lord’s attainable and affordable, without compromising our quality and service values. The New Year looks set to be a busy time in the Capital and this offer will allow us to keep a competitive edge as 2012 comes to the boil.”
* Minimum numbers apply and will vary for different venues. Bookings must be made for events that take place in January or February 2012.
