Venues in Cumbria

Cumbria has to be one of the most beautiful counties in the entire UK, and is home to the Lake District, the Eden Valley, the Furness Peninsula, the North Pennines, and part of the Yorkshire Dales. Situated in the north-west of England, it boasts many major towns and cities, such as Carlisle, Penrith and Kendal, making it a veritable playground for both personal and corporate events. There’s an abundance of conference venues, party venues, meeting rooms and function rooms, all within easy reach of the East Coast and West Coast rail services, M6, A66, and A686, coach, air, and ferry. One of the best multipurpose locations you’ll find in this picturesque county is Center Parcs Whinfell Forest near Penrith. Once known purely for its reputation as an excellent family holiday destination, the brand has expanded to offer some excellent meeting spaces. As many as 500 attendees can come here for a meeting, reception or conference, or 250 diners sit down to a feast, and you can stay overnight in its charming forest accommodation, or enjoy a number of exciting outdoor pursuits.
