Our aim is simple. We strive to take the overwhelm out of your team away day planning. We work to make life easier for organizers, facilitators, attendees, and budget-holders. Therefore, all our services are developed with your needs in mind…

For The Event Organizers

Keep things simple for your delegates. With an abundance of near-by transport links and city centre parking, only minutes away, convenience is the word. Your delegates will have the flexibility to choose sustainable transport methods or to bring their own vehicles.

  • Choose our central venue for a well-connected city centre hub.
  • Accessible parking can be found across from our door-step.

 

Rooms to work around your event.

  • All our rooms are set over two floors, making the building easy to navigate.
  • Most rooms open out on to our communal spaces. Meaning easy access, with no warren-like corridors for people to get lost in.
  • Options to hire out a single room, a hall for up to 300, or a whole floor. Why not spread out and use the whole building.
