Venues in the Midlands
Within the UK one popular area for corporate and business events is the Midlands. With a central location that is easily accessible by road, rail and air it is an excellent area to hold any event. It also provides an easy access point when you have a variety of people attending from all over the UK. Birmingham in the West Midlands has a range of different venues on offer as do Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton.
However with the Midlands being spread over such a wide area, it is important to narrow your search down to a particular area otherwise you could be bombarded with a very long list of potential venues. Free venue finders are always useful when considering large areas with many venues, such as the Midlands, as they are aware of the venues in that area and know which ones will suit different events. Free venue finders provide a quick and efficient service which provides you with the chance to get a shortlist of potential venues for your event.
There is a good selection of venues in the Midlands with some interesting venues such as the Motorcycle Museum, the Space Centre, and the Heritage Motor Centre, the Ricoh arena and Donnington Park as well as a number of racecourses. All of these Midland venues provide a variety of different types of spaces to hold a number of business and corporate events. Racecourses can be ideal for exhibitions or award dinners as they usually have quite large function rooms such as Wolverhampton Racecourse which can hold up to 700 people theatre style.
Within the Midlands there are a number of conference centres which offer onsite accommodation and facilities for a number of events. Well know examples of these types of venues in the Midlands include Woodland Grange Conference Centre, Renewal Conference Centre and the East Midlands Conference Centre. These Midland venues are able to accommodate both large and small events which are ideal for those events who want meeting space and exhibition space.
There are many venues in the Midlands that are located within and around Birmingham as there are many hotels around that area, as well as the airport and the Birmingham NEC. The Belfry is one example of a venue in the Midlands which has meeting rooms, a golf course and a spa as well as bedrooms and its own nightclub. This type of venue in the Midlands is ideal for corporate away days, residential meetings or parties.
nother important aspect to consider with venues in the Midlands is that they usually offer a lower rate than in London which is an advantage to anyone who is on a tight budget. Obviously main towns or cities will be more expensive than other areas within the Midlands. However it is possible to find a day delegate rate (DDR) in Birmingham for around forty to fifty pounds, where as in London you are looking at least sixty pounds. This can really make a difference when you have a couple of hundred people attending an event.
