Doncaster

Doncaster might be one of the region's best connected destinations, but it's much more than a strategic choice; it offers an eclectic mix of accommodation, entertainment and exciting activities that really sets it apart.  Kerrie Hudson of Yorkshire South tells us what makes Doncaster special.
 
“With a staggering venue investment figure of almost £70 million Doncaster combines a great location, connection and facilities with plenty of space to enjoy. There’s a fantastic sporting tradition here too that makes it a really good choice for entertaining and incentives. When it comes to venues, we’ve got the unique, the unusual and some of the most opulent spaces available, so there’s something for every occasion.”
 
Variety is the key word here! For events with extra sparkle go to The Dome, a complete leisure complex, for its stunning Forum, a 400 capacity marble tiled room. In the same venue you’ll find the main hall with a capacity for 1,750 delegates, plus plenty of smaller conference and meeting space. For a generous touch of class, choose the Mount Pleasant Hotel, just a mile from the airport and with 100 acres of beautiful woodland, fabulous 4-star accommodation and capacity for 250 delegates - watch out for the new extensive spa facilities.
