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.
