Events venue Bourne Corn Exchange has a bespoke new website to help visitors explore the wide range of events, workshops, and classes it has to offer.
The digital overhaul brings an enhanced user experience at www.bournecornexchange.com
As well as giving full details on the shows, meetings and community club dates already on the calendar, one of the standout features of the new website is the ability to easily access information about room hire at the touch of a button.
Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture, and Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr Paul Stokes, said: “This makes the Corn Exchange – located in the heart of Bourne – an even more attractive option for hosting events, meetings, and private functions, with prices and room information readily available.
“We offer options for any occasion, from corporate events and conferences to weddings and parties, with facilities including a fully-licensed bar, a well-equipped function kitchen, and a spacious stage with professional lighting and sound capabilities – everything required to make an event a success.
“We really do see it as our mission to foster community spirit by hosting all kinds of events that bring people together. These include live performances, theatre productions and concerts as well as weddings, exhibitions, and conferences.
“We are proud to offer a versatile space in this picturesque market town to cater for a wide range of activities. Whether visitors are attending the market just outside, enjoying a live show, or celebrating a special occasion, they will find Bourne Corn Exchange as more than just a venue.”
The Main Hall hosts a variety of regular classes, with details now online.
Weekly sessions and groups that meet in the Corn Exchange already include Tae Kwon-Do, Bourne U3A, Bourne Organ and Keyboard Club, Bourne Motor Racing Club and Dementia Support.
The new website and revamped booking system allows SKDC to sell more events directly, to create a one-stop shop for the Corn Exchange. Performers who partner with SKDC have their event featured on the Bourne Corn Exchange website and the popular Guildhall and Stamford websites, which attract a high volume of visitors actively searching for events and activities.
The building has been a cornerstone of local life since its construction in the 19th century. Originally built as a market hall, the Corn Exchange has evolved to become a vibrant hub for cultural, social, and community events. It is the town’s Community Access Point with all town, district and county council services gathered under one roof, together with the public library and register office.
The venue is designed to accommodate events of all sizes. With its classic architecture, modern amenities and welcoming atmosphere, it provides a unique setting.
The main entrance is via Hereward Street, PE10 9EX. The car park is accessible to customers when the venue is open with alternative additional parking is available at the Burghley Centre and throughout the town.
