A Venue With A Difference

Where miners once spent long hours bringing coal to the surface, business can now bring staff and clients to a venue with a difference for conferences, meetings and corporate events. Snibston located in the heart of the country, is Leicestershire’s most prestigious tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique blend of science, history, nature and art.

Set in one hundred acres of the former Snibston Colliery, the nationally and regionally awarded science and industrial heritage museum provides a wonderful and unusual venue to hold meetings, product launches and corporate hospitality events.

The Stephenson Suite, comprising the Stenson and Ellis Rooms, is available to hire and can accommodate small boardroom style meetings to large conferences, seating up to 120 delegates.  Further details can be found in the ‘Room Specifications’ sections.

At Snibston we endeavour to provide all our conference clients with an excellent and personal service, ensuring that the planning of the event is ‘stress free’ and productive.  For conference bookings, telephone Snibston’s Booking Office on 01530 278444, fax 813301, or email snibston@leics.gov.uk

Snibston can provide a selection of buffet menus for clients to choose from, depending on your budget and delegates’ taste, we are also licensed to serve alcohol.  Catering requirements must be booked in advance.  Please confirm the number of delegates requiring lunch with Snibston’s Booking Office.  These details are required at least ten working days before the event.

Parking on site is plentiful and free with a parking area for disabled visitors immediately outside Snibston’s Exhibition Hall Foyer.

Other services can be arranged at an additional cost.  Built on one level, Snibston provides award-winning facilities for visitors with special needs, including free wheelchair hire and induction loop hearing systems.

A meeting at Snibston is not complete without a wander around the museum galleries. As part of the room hire charge, clients, their staff and delegates have free admission to the galleries.  Visitors can get their ‘hands-on’ thirty scientific experiments and discover the region’s rich industrial heritage in the Transport, Engineering, Extractives and Fashion Galleries.  Time permitting, visitors can join a lively colliery tour conducted by ex-miners.  Colliery tours are an additional £1.40 per delegate (please book in advance).
