But what can Yorkshire offer today’s meeting and event organisers? Well, with four
airports, mainline trains from London and Edinburgh plus good motorway connections,
getting delegates to the county isn’t a problem and the choice of venues is vast;
award-winning conference and entertainment centres, budget to business city hotels,
renowned universities, landmark museums and rolling country estates are well versed in
hosting successful meetings, exhibitions, product launches, corporate celebrations and
team-building days.
For a convenient city location consider the
York Marriott Hotel which welcomes up
to 190 delegates to its Classic Suite. The
award-winning 4-star hotel is set in five acres
of grounds which include a landscaped
Victorian garden; perfect for a reception.
There’s a total of 11 function rooms and up
to ten breakout areas. All rooms have free
WiFi and the latest audio visual technology.
Organisers also have a great choice of
menus too, from finger and fork buffets or
enjoy a sit-down dinner on the sun terrace
and enjoy views over York Racecourse.
Venue exclusivity is on the agenda at Whirlowbrook
Hall. Simply arrange an event for 40 delegates and the
stunning manor house guarantees exclusive access.
Located between the Peak District National Park and
just four miles from Sheffield, the events centre offers
an outstanding business environment for interviews,
conferences, meetings and company away-days and
has a maximum capacity of 150 delegates. Set in 39
acres of picturesque parkland, Whirlowbrook Hall has
a reputation as one of Sheffield’s premier event and
wedding venues.
Complimentary WiFi and parking is available and
during the summer, the expert team at the elegant
manor house venue make it possible to swap a working
buffet launch for a fantastic BBQ at no extra cost.
(for up to 20 delegates).
