Conference and Meeting venues in Dover

Meeting planners know that Dover is an ideal choice of meeting destination when considering international delegates coming to the UK.

Meetings, conferences and events held here will enjoy the stunning views of the famous White Cliffs whilst being able to take advantage of proximity to Kent’s glorious countryside, known as ‘the Garden of England’, both providing opportunities for teambuilding events and corporate activities. Historic buildings, country house hotels and sporting venues all provide extensive good value conference facilities in the area making Dover the perfect business meeting point.

Dover is very easily reached via the A2/M2 or M20 motorways, via good rail links, using regular cross-channel ferries from France or Belgium, the Eurotunnel and via flights into any of London’s airports, making this one of the most accessible meeting destinations for both national and international delegates.

Even the Port of Dover Cruise Terminals provide excellent conference and exhibition facilities, for delegates who don’t have time to journey far from their transport links. Two terminals offer a choice of modern or traditional venues to host any event, providing vast exhibition space with capacities ranging from 640-1,320 delegates. Those looking to indulge in a historic venue should consider Walmer Castle and Gardens or the famous Dover Castle, both providing memorable atmospheric settings for meetings and conferences. Another historic and unusual venue is the Maison Dieu  boasting a magnificent suite of four stunning rooms able to cater for up to 500 delegates and ideal for exhibitions, banquets, meetings, conferences and weddings. Again, a truly memorable setting. Sporting venue The Centre Spot is home to Dover Athletic Football Club and comes equipped with exceptional facilities perfect for large and small meetings, conferences, training events, exhibitions and banquets, being able to accommodate up to 420 delegates in a selection of versatile meeting spaces. Pines Calyx is an award-winning purpose-built zero-carbon eco conference centre with magnificent gardens, all designed beautifully to offer a sustainable venue able to cater for every type of event whether conferences, meetings, training or teambuilding events, or weddings. 17th Century Jacobean manor Wallett’s Court is a delightful country house hotel with two conference spaces best suited to small meetings, whilst the Best Western Dover Marina and the Ramada Dover can cater for larger conferences and events, the Ramada in particular having  a range of well appointed conference rooms with capacity for up to 400 delegates.
