About this space

The Gippeswick Suite is the Orwell's main event space — large enough to handle a proper wedding reception or a sizeable conference, with the flexibility to shift between the two without much effort.

Natural daylight, air conditioning, and a clean neutral finish mean it works as a blank canvas rather than imposing a look on your event. Theatre rows, banquet rounds, a drinks reception — the layout adapts around what you need rather than the other way around.

The hotel's events team is on hand, which takes the operational pressure off. For mid to large-scale occasions, it's a reliable room in a convenient location — and sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for.
