Venuemasters, the consortium promoting the facilities available for hire at over 80 UK academic venues has welcomed three new members into its fold; Ushaw College in Durham, the University of East London (UEL) and Number 45 Millbank in Central London.

Ushaw College sits within 400 acres of countryside and offers 11 meeting rooms, a 270-seat theatre and grounds capable of hosting crowds of up to 10,000.

Number 45 Millbank, part of the Chelsea College of Art and Design, offers Edwardian interiors in three rooms of its Grade II listed venue and a mahogany staircase leads to three major event spaces on the first floor.

The University of East London’s (UEL) Docklands campus offers meeting rooms for up to 250 and has 1,170 en suite bedrooms for hire. One confirmed client is the US Olympics team which is to use UEL campuses as its 2012 Games base, medical and media centre.    

Venuemasters chief executive, Terry Billingham, says the new members make a total of 12 additions since April.

“The variety of facilities and locations covered is increasing all the time, giving event organisers a wider choice when trying to find the perfect venue for their next event,” says Billingham. “From modern facilities to buildings with history and character, there’s something to suit all tastes and budgets.”
