With many popular
meeting destinations being located nearby it is no wonder that East Midlands Airport has itself become a hub for
meetings,
conferences and
events.
Servicing the Midlands area, it has not only become a great
meeting point for those
delegates needing access to transport links but also for those from surrounding locations such as Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Birmingham to convene. With
venues able to rival those in the nearby city locations, it’s easy to see why many
delegates choose East Midlands Airport as their base.
Well connected with road links to the M1, A42, A50 and A453, and with rail links via East Midlands Parkway, Derby and Nottingham, East Midlands Airport is easily accessible.
As with most airport locations the surrounding hotels offer the greatest choice of conference and meeting facilities. A particular gem is the country house hotel Priest House on the River at Castle Donington. With 7 meeting spaces and capacity for up to 130 delegates, this conference venue is an ideal choice for teambuilding events and allows delegates to enjoy idyllic country surroundings whilst being a stone’s throw from the airport. Best Western Premier Yew Lodge Hotel is also ideally located for the airport and offers 19 conference spaces for up to 300 delegates, whilst the Kegworth Whitehouse Hotel also benefits from being only 2.5 miles from the airport and having a banqueting suite and versatile, modern conference facilities catering for up to 300 delegates. The Hilton East Midlands Airport has 13 flexible meeting rooms for up to 300 delegates only 2 miles from the airport and the Thistle East Midlands, a popular wedding venue, has 14 fully equipped meeting rooms ideal for training events, conferences and exhibitions.
