Welcome to

Our beautiful, easy to access county has great venues and many varied things to do.

It is a county filled with hidden surprises. Venues are diverse in style and size. Choose from large, state-ofthe-art conference centres; stately homes steeped in tradition; sporting stadiums; educational centres; venues with excellent ‘green’ credentials, large well established hotels or small, ‘quirky’ venues.

A Worcestershire event will leave your delegates feeling a world away from the hustle and bustle of ordinary working life. The inspiring landscape has acres of rolling fields and scenic waterways. It is an unspoilt county, dotted with market towns and vibrant Worcester city, for contrast. The city and surrounding towns offer a buzzing mix of bars, restaurants, clubs and shopping.

The balance of urban and rural makes Worcestershire a great year round destination.
