St Albans Event and Catering Equipment Hire
\nSt Albans is a historic cathedral city in Hertfordshire with a varied events market spanning corporate conferences, charitable events and a strong wedding trade in the surrounding countryside. The Alban Arena on Civic Close is St Albans's main public venue, with a capacity of over 3,000 and a programme that includes concerts, conferences, exhibitions and award ceremonies. St Albans Cathedral, one of England's oldest and longest cathedrals, hosts civic services, formal dinners and charitable receptions in its nave and precincts. Verulamium Park, named after the Roman city that underlies it, provides large outdoor space for public events, festivals and outdoor markets. Sopwell House Hotel on Cottonmill Lane is one of Hertfordshire's most established corporate and wedding venues, with extensive grounds, a spa and multiple event suites. The University of Hertfordshire, based at its de Havilland campus in neighbouring Hatfield, runs graduation ceremonies and academic conferences that draw significant event activity to the wider area. St Albans sits on the M25 and A1(M), making it highly accessible for events drawing delegates from across London and the South East.
