The enchanting county of Derbyshire is ideal for meeting planners seeking a destination for conferences, meetings and events where business and pleasure go hand in hand.
The vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Derby is guaranteed to provide a wealth of state-of-the-art meeting venues able to cater for all corporate events and capacities whilst the East Midlands Airport region caters for conference delegates wanting to remain close to global transport links.
However, Derbyshire’s real appeal lies in the combination of such urban centres with the country’s first designated national park, the Peak District, as well as the magnificent Derbyshire Dales, Derwent Valley and National Forest which provide breathtaking settings for outdoor pursuit teambuilding events and activities as well as rural corporate retreats and hideaway meetings. Locations such as Buxton and Chesterfield are ideal bases from which delegates can explore the county and offer a variety of well-equipped conference and even venues whether country house hotels, historic buildings, sporting or academic venues.
Derbyshire’s central location is another additional benefit providing convenient access to all UK conference delegates via the motorway network, superb rail links including direct London services and for international delegates flights into East Midlands, Manchester, Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield and Birmingham airports.
Sporting and academic venues can often be relied upon to provide first class conference and banqueting facilities as well as meeting and training rooms, and those in Derbyshire are no exception.
