Conference Venues in Dorset

Conferencing in Dorset is becoming more and more ‘trendy’ amongst events organisers. With a wide range of hotels, golf clubs, country houses, and even castles across towns such as Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Swanage, Shaftesbury, and Dorchester, the number of conference venues on offer is impressive to say the least. Just take a look at some of these shining examples: The Village Hotel Bournemouth offers a pleasant seaside location by day, and a party atmosphere by night. It’s suitable for a variety of conferencing requirements, with five purpose-built rooms (max capacity 200) and free wi-fi in all public areas. The Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel can accommodate larger groups, with a choice of 9 rooms and a maximum capacity of 350 delegates. Its cliff-top location offers stunning views, and it’s conveniently situated within walking distance of the town centre. For conference venues in Poole, we can highly-recommend the Sandbanks Hotel and the Thistle.
