Our Colchester campus provides a professional and flexible environment for organisations looking to host events in a modern university setting. With access to a wide range of facilities across the campus, Event Essex supports everything from large conferences and corporate meetings to summer schools, graduation and symposiums. We offer large lecture theatres suitable for keynote sessions, mid-sized seminar rooms ideal for workshops, and smaller breakout spaces designed for group discussions or networking. All rooms are equipped with audiovisual technology, reliable Wi-Fi, and technical support is provided, ensuring events run smoothly from start to finish.
Beyond indoor facilities, our Colchester campus features extensive outdoor spaces that can be used for exhibitions, receptions, and team-building activities. Our award-winning parkland, and open green spaces create an impressive backdrop for both formal and informal gatherings, adding character to events held on site.
