Alea Nottingham

Casinos seldom fail to serve up a glamorous atmosphere for events and Alea in Nottingham is no different. The venue offers groups the opportunity to hire its bars or one of two self-contained function suites. The Casino Suite is the best bet for large groups looking for a little privacy. The extravagantly decorated space can host up to 300 guests and there’s exclusive access to the venue’s Hidden Bar, where cocktail-making masterclasses are available. If there’s business to attend to before the poker chips come out, then the Face to Face room may work best for your event. It comes with multimedia facilities, AV kit, a lit stage for presentations and its own fully stocked bar. Of the various bars on offer, we especially like the Top Table VIP Lounge. Geared up to make an impact for events, it gives guests the high-roller treatment. Bookers mustn’t forget that the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill is also on site.
