Seminars and company events
The Moray Conference Centre takes conferences from 2 to 200 delegates and dinners of up to 220 guests, inside the Mansefield Hotel on Mayne Road in Elgin, Moray. Two main rooms, the Moray Suite and the Pavilion, share the hotel's kitchen and bedrooms, so a regional meeting, training day or company dinner can run from arrival to overnight stay in one place.
The Moray Suite is the conference room, with built-in projection screens, data projectors and a sound system. Both rooms have adjustable air conditioning and meet UK disability access standards. Their size can be adapted for breakout sessions or small private meetings, and the team builds packages with tailored menus, drinks and room dressing. Beyond business events, the hotel also hosts private dinners, festive party nights and funeral teas.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel runs a full wedding offer with exclusive use of its event spaces. The Pavilion seats up to 200 for the wedding breakfast and takes more guests for the evening reception. Packages include a master of ceremonies, table settings, help with menus and seating plans, and a bridal suite. Landscaped gardens around the hotel give room for photographs between the ceremony and the meal.
Rooms and capacities
The Pavilion is the newer of the two rooms, designed for dinners and receptions, and the larger, with up to 220 guests at dinner according to the conference page. The Moray Suite carries the audiovisual equipment and handles plenary sessions. Delegate numbers for conferences run up to 200 across the centre. Because room sizes can be adjusted, a single day can combine a plenary in one space and a lunch or dinner in the other without moving guests off site.
Accommodation
The Mansefield is a four-star hotel. Its rooms range from Classic doubles, twins and family rooms to Superior rooms, including an accessible room and a four-poster, plus the Weller Suite and several apartments that sleep four, one of them with a kitchen area. Two Bothy flats in the grounds have their own entrance, which suits speakers or longer stays. The website does not give a total room count.
Catering
The hotel's own kitchen covers everything from a relaxed lunch to a formal dinner, with Scottish dishes on the wedding menus. The Mezzo Bar and a whisky bar and cocktail lounge give delegates somewhere to meet after sessions. The hotel has been run by the same hospitality business for more than 30 years.
Getting there
The hotel is on Mayne Road in the Royal Burgh of Elgin, close to the town center. Elgin railway station, on the line between Aberdeen and Inverness, is a short walk away, and Inverness Airport is about 40 minutes by car.
