An Athenaeum wedding is always a memorable occasion and we make it our priority to ensure you have the day of your dreams! Both The Athenaeum and The Apex are linked by the hospitality and catering partner - Sodexo Prestige - as part of the global Prestige Venues & Events Collection. Amazing ideas come from amazing surroundings and the meeting rooms available at The Athenaeum are no exception.
The Athenaeum is a wonderful, recently refurbished, Grade I listed building with a Georgian chandeliered ballroom ideal for special occasions such as celebration dinners, wedding ceremonies and receptions. It is located on Angel Hill in the centre of historic Bury St Edmunds and has a range of accessible facilities with number of additional rooms suitable for conferences, meetings and seminars.
Bury St Edmunds continued to develop in the 18th century. The building called The Athenaeum was built early in the 18th century as Assembly Rooms where people could play cards and attend balls. It became The Athenaeum in 1854.
