Lancashire, and its main town of Blackpool, have both been at the forefront of the U.K.’s tourist industry for well over 100 years. Just as visitors flock to the county to enjoy its amazing diversity (from the Blackpool illuminations, to the serenity of the Forest of Bowland), so do business people looking for a wide variety of meeting rooms, conference and party venues, function rooms, and outdoor teambuilding activities. Across all the county’s major towns of Blackpool, Carnforth, Clitheroe, Lancaster, and Preston, you’ll find a host of great venues, such as the Deepdale Stadium, which offers extensive conferencing and meeting facilities. Blackpool Winter Gardens is one of the region’s most extraordinary venues, and is equally-suited to meetings, conferences, grand banquets, and lavish parties. For those of you looking for a more relaxing location, the Best Western Glendower Hotel at Lytham St Annes can seat between 40 and 120 delegates, and also has a ballroom that’s perfect for receptions, functions, and special occasions.
