A new events space at The Belfry Hotel and Resort is set to open this month, one month earlier than anticipated, after construction progressed ahead of schedule. The new venue, part of a wider £80m development project at the resort, will further enhance The Belfry’s meetings and events offering.
Dubbed The Masters Suite, the venue will be the resort’s biggest events space at 852 sqm, and has a max capacity of 920.
Having received over £12m worth of enquiries to date, The Belfry said it is an “ideal venue” for conferences, product launches, mini expos, award ceremonies, charity dinners and banquets for 600 people or more.
Once complete, The Masters Suite will include a large pre-function area and mezzanine level, executive boardroom and outdoor terrace overlooking The Brabazon golf course.
The development project, which will create over 200 additional jobs, also includes the building of a new leisure club. Spread across two levels, it will include a large swimming pool with a family-friendly slide, a dedicated lap pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs and café.
Four premium, glass-fronted studios will overlook the PGA National golf course and sit alongside an extensive gym area. A large, high-ceilinged, multipurpose sports area will also provide space for guests to enjoy a range of indoor sports.
Chris Eigelaar, resort director at The Belfry, said: “Ensuring our valued guests have an experience like no other is what drives us. It’s extremely inspiring to see the Resort grow and I have no doubt that this exhilarating development will further enhance The Belfry brand and its reputation as one of the UK’s most outstanding leisure and events destinations.”
Chris Semones, managing director at Goldman Sachs, added: “The Belfry has a deserved reputation for excellence, and we have seen first-hand its capacity for innovation and growth, and its drive to become a leading leisure and events destination in the UK.
“As owners, our investment only reinforces that. We look forward to taking this renowned resort from strength to strength over the coming years, solidifying its place at the heart of the events community, and continuing to invest in its people, its potential and its future.”
