World renowned as the Garden of England, Kent is surely the most quintessential of the home counties and a superb, good value destination for conferences, meetings and events. England’s oldest county, Kent is a captivating blend of town, coast and country combining dramatic rural landscapes such as the Romney Marsh and High Weald with a spectacular stretch of coastline epitomised by the iconic White Cliffs, therefore providing the perfect escape destination for rural corporate retreats and hideaway meetings as well as outdoor pursuit teambuilding events and corporate activities on both land and water.
Heritage towns, coastal resorts and country bolt holes all add to the county’s appeal as a meeting destination with locations such as Ashford, Bromley, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford, Dover, Folkestone, Maidstone, Rochester, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells leading the way. Each offers a versatile selection of conference and event venues ranging from historic buildings and stately homes to academic and sporting venues providing conference and banqueting suites, meeting rooms and exhibition spaces suitable for all corporate events.
Another advantage to hosting events in Kent is its accessibility for all conference delegates. Those travelling from within the UK can reach Kent easily via the M20 and M2 motorways and high-speed rail links from London whilst international delegates also have several options including cross channel ferry services, Eurostar rail links and of course flights into Gatwick or Heathrow airports.
Kent offers an exceptional diversity of experienced meeting venues, all providing conference and banqueting facilities of the highest standard.
