Your guide to venues in Dorset
Dorset offers a serene backdrop for any event, with its stunning coastline and rolling countryside. Home to the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the region boasts dramatic cliffs and fossil-studded beaches, ideal for team-building activities or post-conference relaxation. Bournemouth, with its seven miles of golden sands and Poole with its natural harbor, provide waterfront venues that cater to both business and leisure needs. For history enthusiasts, the ancient ruins of Corfe Castle and the cobbled streets of Dorchester present unique settings for memorable events. Modern facilities are not in short supply either; the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) and the Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts, offer spacious and well-equipped venues for large conferences and exhibitions. Dorset's local produce is a highlight, with opportunities to sample and incorporate regional flavors into your event's catering. From fresh seafood to award-winning cheeses, the culinary offerings can add a special touch to any gathering. Accessibility is straightforward, with good rail links from London and a regional airport in Bournemouth. This ease of access, combined with the area's natural beauty and the variety of venues available, makes Dorset a practical and appealing choice for event planners seeking a balance of business and leisure.
