Great Venues
The choice of conference and event venues in Yorkshire is extraordinary.
Kaleidoscope of choice
Few counties boast such a sheer variety of venues. Whether it’s an ancient castle on a hilltop or an ultra-modern city centre attraction, a hallowed sports ground or an interactive museum, you’ll find it right here. And with venues that take you to dramatic coastlines, seaside resorts, national parkland and buzzing cities, you’re bound to be in your element. But wherever you take your guests, they’ll be thrilled by the surroundings, the facilities and the welcome.
The historic
Rudding Park near Harrogate, a Grade 1 listed Regency Country House, is an award-winning business and leisure resort blending an historic setting with the latest conference facilities, a majestic banqueting hall and elegant accommodation.
South East of Leeds is the splendid Oulton Hall, a classic country house hotel that adds true luxury to any corporate event. Impress your
guests with the lavish rooms and make the most of the cutting edge conference and training facilities. Then relax in the spa before settling down to a sumpruous private dining experience.
And Castle Howard near York is another magical movie-set country house (quite literally – the place starred in the acclaimed TV series and big-screen remake of ‘Brideshead Revisited’). It has a wonderful ambience, magnificent grounds and up to the second business and conference resources.
The contemporary
Yorkshire is also packed with award-winning futuristic venues, such as the National Coal Mining Museum for England in Wakefield. Dating back to the 18th century, this unique museum offers attendees the opportunity to travel 140 metres into the depths of the earth. The conference facilities are truly cutting edge.
The Racecourse at York is one of Europe’s premier tracks with a reputation as a corporate event venue to match. Major investment has seen the creation of a spectacular new stand, whilst lavish entertainment facilities and exceptional IT resources guarantee a thrilling conference.
And then there’s Harrogate International Centre. This colossal purpose built conference centre has the sort of leading edge facilities others
can only dream of. The massive spaces are infinitely flexible with every conceivable resource. And with exciting new developments keeping the Centre several steps ahead of the competition, your event will be in safe hands.
The adventurous
From the great indoors to the great outdoors … your guests will discover High Trenhouse Management Centre in the glorious Yorkshire Dales. This award-winning residential venue is a management retreat unlike any other, with dedicated spaces, advanced facilities and superb hospitality.
Of course you don’t have to disappear into the wilds for something a little bit different. Leeds Bradford International Airport, Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield and Humberside International Airport all boast top-flight meetings facilities and truly exciting surroundings.
And then there are the many universities in the county – including Sheffield, Sheffield, York, Leeds and Leeds Met. The atmosphere of academic excellence, the access to world class experts and the 21st century facilities make for a potent combination to leave your delegates inspired.
In short, there’s only one county in the UK that can offer so much to conference organizers and event managers: Welcome to Yorkshire.
