Franciscan House — central Ipswich (Regus)

Rooms run from £61 per hour for a four-person space up to roughly £101 per hour for a room seating ten.

Which Ipswich location is right for your meeting?
Pick by who is coming and how they travel. If most attendees arrive by train or you want a town-centre address, Franciscan House wins on location. If they drive and you want the lowest hourly rate with easy parking, Ransomes Europark is the better value.
For a small internal catch-up, either four-person room does the job. For a board meeting or training session, both buildings offer ten-person rooms — Ransomes is cheaper, Franciscan is more central. The cheapest room costs you the most if half the room is stuck in traffic.
How far in advance should you book?
For a standard weekday slot, a day or two ahead is usually enough in Ipswich. Book a week out for early-morning starts, all-day sessions, or the larger ten-person rooms, which move faster. Wezoo shows live availability, so you can see open slots and confirm in under two minutes.
