Meetings and Events

We are
incredibly proud of our Meeting &amp; Events team, who took on the Tough Mudder
challenge to raise funds for one of our chosen charities, Teenage Cancer Trust.
Their teamwork, determination, and spirit helped them overcome the challenging

A huge congratulations to the team for their inspiring efforts!<o:p></o:p>

At The Belfry Hotel, we offer a comprehensive work experience program designed for pupils from local schools to gain valuable insights into the hospitality industry. This program, lasting between one and two weeks, provides students with hands-on experience across various departments, helping them to develop essential skills and a deeper understanding of hotel operations. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire the next generation of hospitality professionals and support our local community.
