St Ives Corn Exchange

St Ives Corn Exchange is a community venue in the centre of St Ives, Cambridgeshire, offering several spaces for organisers to hire. Its rooms suit a wide mix of occasions, from private celebrations and formal dinners to meetings, conferences, exhibitions, markets, performances and award ceremonies.

The main Charter Hall is the largest space, with flexible layouts for dining, seated presentations or standing events. It can accommodate up to 250 people standing, with seating capacities depending on the chosen arrangement. Staging is available, and the hall includes air conditioning, an induction loop and bar facilities. The venue also has smaller rooms, including the Tony Burgess Room and Flexi Rooms, for meetings, workshops and other gatherings that call for a more compact setting.

Organisers can hire the kitchen and choose to provide their own refreshments or bring in a caterer. The venue can also discuss catering arrangements, including refreshments, working lunches and catered meals. Available facilities include Wi-Fi, presentation equipment, screens, whiteboards and support from an on-site manager. Technical assistance may be arranged for performances, and a small rear loading area is available for deliveries.

The Corn Exchange explicitly welcomes wedding and anniversary bookings, as well as business and community events. Its central location, multiple hireable spaces and practical facilities make it a flexible option for organisers looking for a venue in St Ives. Enquiries can be made to discuss the date, room and arrangements that best suit the event.
