Mexborough’s iconic Empress Building is the home of the elegant and recently renovated Empress Ballroom, which is an ideal venue for corporate functions
of many different types. Incorporating classical soaring ceilings, ornate décor, large open-plan space and grandiose stage for delivering talks, presentations
and performances, the Empress Ballroom makes for a fabulous alternative to sterile hotel conferencing rooms, and remains with remarkable nods to and
original features from its time as a nationwide destination for ballroom dancing and performances.
With available space to host up to 350 delegates, this lavish venue will create an immense talking point from the start of your seminar, conference,
presentation or product launch, until the very last minute.
This fully furnished function venue is in a well-connected South Yorkshire town, only ten minutes’ drive from the A1 motorway, and with a railway station
that is directly accessible from both Doncaster and Sheffield.
Don’t worry about connectivity, as the venue is fully serviced with free guest wi-fi available throughout, to enable you to access cloud-based videos,
presentations and documents, as well as enable remote video conferencing access to your function, no matter where your attendees are based.
