Discerning meeting planners seeking an easy to reach and yet rural destination for conferences, meetings and events would do well to explore the county of Shropshire.
A county of two halves on the English and Welsh border, Shropshire combines stunning countryside and historic towns to provide a meetings region that remains almost undiscovered.
Boasting World Heritage Sites and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty such as the Shropshire Hills, the county is a haven for those participating in outdoor pursuit teambuilding events and corporate activities whether in the North Shropshire Plain or the more rural South Shropshire hills and river valleys.
The beautiful unspoilt landscape will only serve to inspire delegates visiting the county for corporate retreats and hideaway meetings at peaceful country house hotels, whilst market towns and urban centres such as Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Telford and Whitchurch offer alternative meeting spaces such as sporting, academic and cultural venues as well as historic buildings.
Conference delegates will find this traditionally English region easy to reach via the M6 and M54 motorways, via excellent rail links and flights into nearby Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester airports.
There are several conference and training centres in the region including the Ludlow Conference Centre, Windsor Conference Centre and the Shropshire Conference Centre, an outstanding high-tech venue with adaptable conference, meeting, banqueting and exhibition spaces suitable for all corporate events. The International Centre in Telford is one of the county’s finest venues providing exceptional event and exhibition space of over 11,600sqm allowing capacity for 4,500 delegates whilst smaller conference suites and meeting rooms cater for more intimate group events. Sporting venues are also amongst those providing meeting spaces for larger delegate groups including AFC Telford, Ludlow Town FC, Ludlow Racecourse & Conference Centre, Shrewsbury Town FC, Whitchurch RFC, Severn Meadows Golf Club, ideal for corporate golf events, and Lilleshall National Sports & Conferencing Centre, an impressive historic building set in 100 acres providing the ultimate corporate retreat, banqueting and teambuilding setting. Cultural venues range from museums and theatres to arts centres such as the Festival Drayton Centre, The Music Hall and Theatre Severn, which alone offers a magical riverside setting and auditorium with capacity for 638 delegates, alongside more unusual venues such as the Royal Air Force Museum and Ironbridge Gorge Museums. Harper Adams University College is an academic venue with an excellent reputation as a conference venue with capacity for 300 delegates whilst Whitchurch Council Civic Centre and Ludlow Assembly Rooms also offer flexible rooms for conferences, meetings and weddings for up to 400 delegates.
