Medlock is proud to share details of an ambitious refurbishment and extension project undertaken at Burleigh Court Hotel and Conference Centre on behalf of Imago Venues.
Burleigh Court is situated at Loughborough University and this landmark investment further enhances the amenity on offer at this award-winning venue.
Central to the renovation is the creation of "Fifty The Street" a new 140-cover restaurant set within a beautifully repurposed former courtyard. This space is designed to support sustainable dining, offering a 50% plant-based menu that appeals to contemporary tastes and values.
The former restaurant space has been transformed into a versatile conference and cabaret venue accommodating up to 250 delegates. This flexible space features advanced soundproofing, allowing it to be seamlessly divided into four smaller, independent conference rooms.
Further enhancements include new meeting rooms and casual breakout areas, including a contemporary business lounge, the creatively named “Thingamajig” room, and the cozy Snug co-working space—designed to support both formal and informal gatherings.
Elsewhere the hotel lobby received a complete transformation with a new inviting Welcome Lounge replacing the traditional reception area.
The refurbishment also included the introduction of Carney & Scott's Bar, named in honour of distinguished Loughborough University alumni Lionesses Karen Carney OBE and Jill Scott MBE.
We are delighted to have been entrusted to deliver this important development for Imago Venues and look forward to working with them and the wider project team in the near future.
