We also provide a comprehensive ROOM HIRE service which is available for all kinds of arts activities and business CONFERENCES . A range of conference facilities is provided, including; Wi-Fi, flip charts, projection screen and, for the Retro enthusiast, a traditional blackboard with its own easel.
Ripley Arts Centre has traditionally acted as a period wedding venue, the main event taking place in the elegant Georgian Music Room based on a design at Hampton Court Palace. This room provides a stunning vista onto the GARDEN with its magnificent willow tree, classical statue and fountain.
Guests and conference delegates alike are free to walk around the constantly changing art exhibitions, offering a refreshing and unusual atmosphere during their stay.
