The Cooper Associates County Ground experience begins before your guests set foot in the room: delegates arrive at a working international cricket ground, with the pitch in view and the Quantock Hills filling the window behind them. From boardroom meetings and conference dinners to full-stadium events, there is no compromising on space at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Free on-site parking, direct rail links and easy road access make it straightforward for your delegates to arrive, whether it’s 20 for a briefing or an event for thousands. It’s the same infrastructure that moves tens of thousands of fans in and out on match days so getting your delegates in, seated and looked after is second nature here.

We’re home to 8 flexible spaces, each offering a different way to make use of the setting and scale of the County Ground. Several overlook the pitch, with views stretching towards the Quantock Hills, while the range of room sizes takes you from smaller meetings and strategy days through to conferences, exhibitions and awards dinners.

At one end is The County Room; our grandest space, seating up to 310 and built for full-day conferences, awards dinners and large-scale exhibitions. At the other, The 1875 Club offers something more intimate: a 40-person boardroom setting for a strategy day, or a private dinner for up to 80, all under the same panoramic view.

In between The Long Room, Stragglers Coffee House, our pitch-facing hospitality suites and more, we offer bespoke packages for:

Conferences
Meetings & training
AGMs
Awards & Dinners
Exhibitions
Product Launches
Large-Scale Events

Every room comes with free Wi-Fi, full step-free access and AV as standard, so the only decision is which space suits your event.

“We have held a number of conferences at Somerset County Cricket Club. The staff are really friendly and helpful and nothing has been too much trouble for them. Evening meals at the venue had beautifully decorated tables, all dietary requirements were catered for and excellent service throughout”
