One of Bury St Edmunds’ best loved venues is encouraging bookers to step outside and mix business with pleasure this summer.
From mid-May until the end of August the Grade I listed Athenaeum is offering a special Summer Time package to corporate clients.
And along with room hire, wifi, refreshments, stationery, and pre-bookable parking, delegates will be given a picnic lunch in the nearby Abbey Gardens.
The venue’s catering and events partner, Sodexo, will pack hampers with a selection of finger sandwiches, mini sausage rolls and crudités with hummus.
There will also be miniature scones with clotted cream and jam, chocolate brownies and Pimm’s jelly pots with fresh strawberries and delegates can choose a soft drink, such as Appletise, water, fruit juice or elderflower pressé.
The venue will also provide picnic blankets so, instead of lunching indoors delegates can enjoy the acclaimed surroundings of the historic gardens.
The Athenaeum’s summer Day Delegate package costs from £32 plus VAT per person and details can be obtained by calling 01284 758380, emailing enquiries.athenaeum.uk@sodexo.com or visiting www.athenaeumbse.co.uk.
