CHECKING IN: Sheffield’s Kenwood Hall offers new outdoor spaces

Conference and event planners can now take advantage of a new outdoor dining space at the Mercure Sheffield Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa, as this popular Sheffield hotel and events venue has unveiled three new private dining pods this month.

Each occupy a prime vantage point high on the Hotel’s manicured lawns, from where delegates can enjoy a choice of breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, whilst taking in panoramic views of the private lake, and gardens.

A unique al fresco break-out space for delegate networking or a team building lunch, or an alternative to restaurant dining for a post-conference or event meal, the domes host up to 18-24 guests sharing round tables of six or eight. There is the option to hire one, multiple, or all the domes exclusively, depending on the size of your event.  Those with a larger corporate event in mind can hire the domes for the entire day and evening, scheduling different dining options for delegates throughout the conference timetable.

Domes come fully air-conditioned and lit in the evening. Delegates can enjoy sharing charcuterie boards starting at £13.99 per person, a selection of roasts from £17.00 per person and the ultimate dessert sharing platter at £10 per person. Alternatively, they can feast on a breakfast or brunch menu. Where better to get ready for a full day of learning and networking than in a breakfast dome at sunrise, with stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside? And for an incentive event or private celebration, you can try a stylish afternoon tea, courtesy of the Hotel’s Laura Ashley The Tea Room.

Dome hire costs from £30 for two hours plus the cost of your menu choice and drinks. To find out more, or book, click here.

Ruslana Yarmolyuk, general manager from Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa said: “We know our corporate clients are keen for their events to have something extra; a standout element to the day that guests will remember for a long time to come. We’re continually looking for new, innovative ways to upgrade our clients’ experience. The Domes are a shining example of this, tapping into what all our guests love about the Hotel – our excellent service and stunning scenery. They provide an exciting outdoor private dining space that capitalises on our lake views, whilst being sheltered from the elements.”
