When managers from Newcastle-based Connect Health were looking for a venue in the North East to host their annual 2-day management retreat, they had no problem in making a decision.
That’s because they chose Ellingham Hall last year and enjoyed our welcome, facilities and location so much they decided to return.
The event saw senior managers from Connect Health also enjoy a Christmas party on the evening before staying on overnight to enjoy fun team-building activities the following morning.
“We use Ellingham as it’s the perfect, exclusive setting for strategy planning for our senior team and it’s a lovely relaxed environment to host our Christmas party too. On the second day we organised a murder mystery fun day before departure.”
“We were working in teams and had two ‘deaths’ to investigate. There were lots of clues to work out whodunnit! It’s a great team-building activity across functions so it means you’re working with people on the mystery that you may not normally work with closely on a day-to-day basis.”
“We were so well looked after the first time. The team here catered for our needs and the food and hospitality is great. The location is also perfect as we’re based in the North East so it’s not far to travel and need to get everyone together in one venue with suitable high-quality accommodation. We’ve had the same warm welcome and efficiency this time and we’re delighted with this year’s event.”
The thorough planning that takes place between Connect Health’s team and Ellingham Hall, helped managers decide to return for the second time.
And it was such a success, it looks like the senior management team from Connect Health will be heading our way again for Christmas 2020!
“Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and that was down in no small part to the beautiful and amazing venue that is Ellingham Hall and the fantastic staff that work there and helped make our day so special”.

“We like to do something different, and Ellingham Hall is certainly out of the ordinary. We had a fantastic time for our staff party and team building. The activities were fantastic and enabled us to get our teams mixed up and get everybody bonding and having a good time together in an amazing environment. We would recommend Ellingham Hall to anyone, the guys here are fantastic.”

“Can’t thank you all enough for all of your hard work helping us plan and arrange everything so the day ran smoothly. On the actual day the service was amazing, all of our guests commented on how fab the food was and they loved the venue! Special thanks to Alicia for being amazing and always keeping me right with what was happening and where we needed to be! Everything was perfect. Ellingham hall is the most beautiful venue and has the best team!”

“To everyone at Ellingham hall. A massive thank you to you all for such an amazing day! From arriving on Wednesday Debbie and Charlotte looked after us right up to the moment we left. The day was absolutely perfect and was planned to perfection by the Ellingham team, our friends and family have commented on how lovely all of the staff were and could not of done more.
The food was amazing from the sharing boards the night before to the fish and chips we were eating cold at 1am! The venue has so much character and we fell in love with from the second we walked up the driveway on that very first visit.
Thank you all so much again for one of the best days of our lives, we want to relive it all over again!”

“I booked a lunch party at Ellingham Hall for a very discerning group comprising of generous supporters of a local charity. We were 27 people and we enjoyed a Champagne reception before a delicious three course lunch. Wendy and her team could not do enough for us, our every request was granted. Dietary requirements were very efficiently and creatively dealt with and the result was a most enjoyable event at a price I was very satisfied with. I would definitely use Ellingham Hall again for a function like this.”

“All of our guests enjoyed their time, with many stating it’s the best wedding they have ever been to! For us it was perfect from start to finish, everything ran absolutely perfectly and nothing was too much for the Ellingham team! Honestly thank you so much, it wasn’t our dream wedding… it exceeded that by a million! Truly magical!”
