South Yorkshire
From sports activities at some of the UK’s leading venues to team building activities
in the outstanding Yorkshire and Peak District countryside, Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster offer unrivalled incentives for your guests.
As any delegate will tell you, the fun and unique experience is all part of the
trip and South Yorkshire can offer some of the best. Chosen as the host destination
for the Microsoft Challenge 2007 due to the largest variety of team building activities
in close proximity to the host city, why not try golf at Owston Hall nr Doncaster,
skate on the Olympic ice pads at ice Sheffield, try Western riding in Penistone
or watersports at Rother Valley Country Park. The extreme biking trails of the
Peak District are only minutes from Sheffield whilst you can try your hand at
flying from the UK's newest airport, Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield.
Horseracing is high on the agenda with the £32 million recent refurbishment of
Doncaster racecourse. Enjoy champagne and the finest cuisine when all race lovers
descend for the St Leger Festival in September. Or why not get lost in one of
Europe's largest steelworks, Magna, now the UK's leading and award winning science
adventure centre with the original pulleys all around you and an awesome pyrotechnics
show.
