The county of Berkshire is frequently the first choice of many meeting planners seeking a versatile, well-rounded destination in which to host conferences, meetings and events. Situated in the South East of England the county offers many benefits for event organisers and therefore remains an ever-popular meeting destination. Considered the ‘Royal County’, the area is extremely rich in heritage and offers both town and country settings for business events whether large conferences and exhibitions or intimate rural corporate retreats.
Part of Berkshire’s appeal is its magnificent countryside, being set in the Thames Valley region and therefore offering opportunities for both land and water-based teambuilding events and corporate activities. Combine with this towns that are recognised as business hubs in a region within easy reach of the capital with outstanding transport links and it is easy to see why meeting planners continue to see Berkshire as a vital conference destination.
Comprising locations such as Ascot, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Newbury, Reading, Slough, Windsor and Wokingham, the county offers a diverse range of exemplary meeting and event venues ranging from illustrious academic and sporting venues to majestic historic buildings, quintessentially English country house hotels and modern conference centres. It’s fair to say that whatever the event, be it a large or small, Berkshire has both the experience and the perfect venue to ensure its success.
