Derby is the most central city in England, meaning it’s an ideal location to visit for both business and pleasure. By car, it’s just 15 minutes from the M1 (J24) and is also easily-accessible via the A38, A50, A52, and A6. If you choose to arrive by train, you’ll find your journey takes just over 90 minutes from central London, and less than 30 minutes from Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham. Plus, access by air is easy as East Midlands Airport is only 30 minutes drive away. The city has a wide range of conference venues and meeting rooms to choose from, such as the Enterprise Centre at the University of Derby (capacity 200), and the Jurys Inn East Midlands Airport (capacity 250). Plus, if you’re looking for luxury or a big-impact, there are excellent functions rooms and party venues available such as Breadsall Priory (a Marriott Hotel property dating back to 1260), and Pride Park Stadium.
