Conference and Meeting Facilities
Abberton Reservoir Nature Discovery Park is set back from the huge expanse of Essex & Suffolk Water's Abberton Reservoir. The Reservoir is one of Europe's top wetland sites and is of international importance as a safe haven for wild ducks, swans and other water birds. It lies close to east-coast migration routes and, with its surrounding envelope of pasture and tree plantations, is a welcome sight to tired birds.
Abberton Reservoir Nature Discovery Centre is 20 minutes from the A12. There is a large free car park with disabled parking bays available. The single-story building is DDA compliant with accessible toilets and baby changing facilities.
The meeting room can be hired for a wide range of events, from meetings to corporate events and private parties. Seating is comfortable for 20 in a theatre style and 16 in a boardroom style. There is access to Wi-Fi in the centre.
The meeting room is available to hire 7 days a week for a full day, half day or hourly from 9am to 5pm.
