The Maltings

Set beside the River Great Ouse and Ely Marina, The Maltings is a distinctive riverside venue for organisers planning weddings, business events and private celebrations. The Victorian building combines a historic setting with flexible spaces for a range of occasions, from intimate gatherings to larger events.

For conferences, meetings, training sessions and exhibitions, organisers can choose from several rooms. The Kempen Room offers views across the marina, while the Elysian Hall is suited to larger conferences and exhibitions. Smaller spaces can accommodate team meetings and breakout sessions. The venue advertises capacity for corporate bookings of 20 to 300 guests, with refreshment and catering options available through its in-house suppliers.

Couples can book the venue for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. Wedding packages can be tailored to suit different styles and budgets, whether the plan is an intimate gathering, an informal celebration or a traditional wedding breakfast. An experienced events manager is available to help with arrangements from the booking stage through the wedding day.

The Maltings also welcomes private hires for birthdays, christenings, engagements, seasonal parties, charity events and fairs. Organisers can enquire about one-off bookings or regular hires for shows and clubs. The venue is within walking distance of Ely railway station, and a public car park is nearby. Its riverside location and adaptable rooms give event planners a setting that can work for both formal occasions and relaxed celebrations.
