Known as Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth provides a distinctive setting for business events, where delegates can combine productive meetings with fresh air, coastal adventures, culture, heritage, great food and exceptional hospitality.

Conference Venues in Plymouth

Plymouth offers an impressive choice of conference venues and meeting spaces, from purpose-built event facilities and hotels to historic buildings, sporting venues and unique waterfront locations.

For larger conferences, exhibitions and corporate events, Plymouth Arena provides flexible event space in the heart of the city, with capacity for events of up to 2,500 guests and dedicated technical and production support.

For something completely different, why not host your event at Home Park, the home of Plymouth Argyle Football Club? The stadium offers a memorable sporting environment for conferences, meetings, hospitality and corporate events, providing delegates with an experience well beyond the traditional meeting room.

Overlooking Plymouth Sound, Tinside Lido offers one of the city’s most spectacular event settings. This iconic Art Deco venue provides a truly memorable backdrop for corporate events, receptions and special occasions.

Conference Hotels and Delegate Accommodation

Plymouth makes organising a residential conference easy, with a wide choice of conference hotels and accommodation to suit different budgets and event requirements.

From well-known city-centre hotels to luxury properties and distinctive venues on the outskirts of the city, there are options for conferences, meetings, overnight stays and corporate retreats.

Hotels including Crowne Plaza Plymouth, Leonardo Hotel Plymouth, Future Inn Plymouth, Copthorne Hotel Plymouth, The Duke of Cornwall Hotel and Boringdon Hall Hotel & Spa provide accommodation alongside meeting and event facilities.

With accommodation close to many of the city's conference venues, delegates can spend less time travelling and more time enjoying their event and exploring Plymouth.

Team Building and Corporate Experiences

A conference in Plymouth can be so much more than time spent in a meeting room.

The city and surrounding area provide fantastic opportunities for team building, corporate away days, incentive trips and delegate experiences. Take your team out onto the water, explore Plymouth Sound, enjoy a coastal experience or head onto Dartmoor for some fresh air and “blue sky thinking”.

For something truly memorable, delegates can experience Plymouth's maritime heritage, enjoy watersports, take part in outdoor challenges or discover some of the region's fantastic food and drink.

The wider South Devon and Cornwall area also opens up even more possibilities, with beaches, countryside, historic towns, attractions and unique venues all within easy reach of Plymouth.

A Conference Destination with a Difference

What makes Plymouth such a compelling destination for business events in the South West is the combination of accessibility, outstanding venues and the opportunity to offer delegates something different.

Here, you can hold a morning conference overlooking the city, enjoy lunch beside the water and finish the day with a team-building activity on Plymouth Sound. Alternatively, combine your conference with a visit to Dartmoor, a coastal experience or an evening at one of Plymouth’s restaurants, bars and cultural attractions.

Plymouth offers the perfect balance between business and leisure, giving delegates the opportunity to connect, collaborate and experience somewhere genuinely memorable.
