About Us

Set within 17 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds in the heart of Suffolk - an area of outstanding natural beauty - Wherstead Park is the perfect choice for business or pleasure and combines the best of town and country. Just minutes away from the A14; one junction away from the A12, 3 miles from the centre of Ipswich and with Stansted just over an hour away, Wherstead Park is easily accessible to all.

Not only is Wherstead the flagship headquarters for the East of England Co-operative Society but is also a high quality business centre. The grade II listed Mansion and the stunning full height Atrium - central to the modern business centre - also offer exceptional facilities for corporate and private events, which will undoubtedly establish Wherstead Park as one of the finest events and conference venues in the region.

The Mansion has 12 meeting rooms, all sumptuously decorated and each with its own stunning view of the attractive landscaped gardens, with some rooms commanding panoramic views across to the river Orwell. The rooms vary in capacity from an intimate meeting for 6 to a conference of 60, with the two main reception rooms perfect for  informal receptions for up to 100 or a formal dinner for 50.

In contrast, The Atrium is a modern, fully air conditioned contemporary space, providing an exhibition area of 900 square metres. Alternatively it can seat 320 for a formal dinner; 280 for dinner/dances and up to 400 as a ‘theatre’ style conference or musical recital facility.
