Rotherham

Rotherham offers not only one of the largest venues in the region, but stunning countryside, great connections and brilliand value for money.  Oh, and last year it was awarded the title 'Most enterprising Town in Yorkshire and Humberside'.  Kerrie Hudson of Conference Yorkshire South tells us why Rotherham is turning heads.

“Rotherham’s always been sold on its location - none of our venues are more than six miles from a motorway, plus there’s beautiful countryside and the city of Sheffield on the doorstep.  You’re never far from the motorway network and there’s so much to do, from fly fishing to jet skiing at Rother Valley Country Park! It’s a great choice for team building activities, and with Magna, one of the biggest venue in the region and one of the most exciting in the country, you can be assured of a successful event in Rotherham.”              

There might be lots of choice in Rotherham, but if you need a massive venue with enormous wow factor too, there can be only one. Gold winner in the Business Tourism category of the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence, Magna.
