Private Christmas party hire in Suffolk
Have Kersey Mill to yourselves this Christmas. A winter wonderland venue near Hadleigh and Ipswich, with a festive two course meal, welcome drink, award winning DJ and a party that runs until 1am.
Your Christmas party, with nobody else on the dance floor
Planning the work Christmas party, a sports club dinner or an end of year awards night? Private hire gives your group the whole venue for the evening.
We dress the mill as a winter wonderland, pour a welcome drink as your guests arrive, serve a festive two course meal and hand the night over to our award winning DJ. You choose the date, the layout and the extras. Our events team looks after everything from your first enquiry to the last song.
We're tucked into the Suffolk countryside just outside Hadleigh, an easy trip for teams from Ipswich, Sudbury, Colchester, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and there's free parking on site.
