Meet in Plymouth

Plymouth stands on the border between Devon and Cornwall and is arguably the finest waterfront location in the country.  Plymouth Sound creates a vast natural harbour, home to Britain’s rich maritime heritage and now the playground of local yachtsman and sailors.

The Mayflower, The Golden Hind and HMS Beagle all set sail from Plymouth to discover what lay beyond the horizon; this spirit of adventure, exploration and discovery lives on in a destination which is emerging as a highly contemporary, dynamic young city currently enjoying significant inward investment.

Plymouth combines the facilities of a modern city with the allure of an historic seafaring port; the UK’s newest medical school is just a couple of miles from the location of Western Europe’s largest naval base.

A history of Conference Plymouth

This vibrant regional capital boasts more than 30 conference, meeting and event venues, plus a wealth of local attractions and suppliers who work together to make your stay in Plymouth one to remember. State-of-the-art conference facilities are complemented by a wealth of history and tradition. 

With good transport links, Plymouth benefits from an intercity train station and a domestic airport just four miles from the heart of the city, together these provide direct access to London, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester.  Local trunk roads link into Cornwall and connect the City to the UK motorway network via the M5 at Exeter.
