De Vere Cranage Estate

We're firm believers that a change of scenery can make all the difference. Sometimes the best ideas don't come from a city-centre boardroom, they come from stepping away from the everyday and bringing people together in a setting designed to inspire.

Nestled in the Cheshire countryside, De Vere Cranage Estate offers the perfect balance between business and relaxation. With extensive meeting and event facilities, comfortable accommodation and plenty of outdoor space, it's a venue that's well suited to everything from conferences and strategy days to team-building events and company celebrations.

One of the venue's biggest strengths is its versatility. Whether you're hosting a small leadership meeting or a large-scale conference, the range of flexible event spaces allows programmes to be tailored to suit your objectives.

The spacious surroundings also provide plenty of opportunities for breakout sessions, networking and team activities away from the meeting room.

Its location is another major advantage. Situated within easy reach of Manchester, Birmingham and the wider North West, De Vere Cranage Estate offers excellent accessibility while giving delegates a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After a productive day, guests can unwind in comfortable surroundings, making it easy to combine business with wellbeing. The peaceful setting encourages collaboration, creativity and meaningful connections, helping organisations get more from their events.

For businesses looking to bring people together in a venue that combines convenience, flexibility and a refreshing countryside setting, DeVere Cranage Estate is a destination well worth considering.

ROW NYC

The best event destinations combine convenience, atmosphere and a location that gets delegates genuinely excited to attend - that's exactly where ROW NYC comes into its own.

Located in the heart of Times Square, ROW NYC puts guests right at the centre of the action.

Just steps away from Broadway, the Theatre District, world-class dining, iconic attractions and major transport links, it's a venue that delivers the ultimate New York experience from the moment attendees arrive.

For corporate groups, location matters, and it's hard to beat a venue with a front-row seat to one of the world's most famous destinations.

Whether delegates are travelling for a conference, incentive trip, networking event or client gathering, ROW NYC offers easy access to everything New York has to offer, including the nearby Javits Center, one of the city's leading convention and exhibition venues.

The hotel itself has recently reopened with refreshed guestrooms and a renewed focus on providing a modern, comfortable stay in the heart of Manhattan.

Guests can unwind after a busy day of meetings before heading out to experience the energy and excitement of the city.

Another standout feature is Percy All Day, the hotel's social dining concept.

Serving everything from morning coffee to evening cocktails, it provides a relaxed setting for informal meetings, networking sessions or simply bringing colleagues together after a day of business.

Of course, one of the biggest advantages of hosting an event at ROW NYC is the destination itself.

New York remains one of the most inspiring cities in the world for business events, offering endless opportunities for team-building, client entertainment and unforgettable delegate experiences.

From rooftop receptions and Broadway shows to sightseeing and fine dining, there's no shortage of ways to make your event stand out.

As one of our team found out earlier this month, for organisations looking to combine business objectives with a truly memorable destination, ROW NYC offers the perfect base.

Modern, central and surrounded by everything that makes New York iconic, it's a venue that turns a corporate event into an experience, exactly the kind of location we love.

London Hilton on Park Lane

Situated in the heart of prestigious Mayfair and overlooking Hyde Park, the iconic five-star London Hilton on Park Lane offers a combination of luxury, convenience and event expertise that's hard to match.

From the moment delegates arrive, they're met with one of London's most recognisable addresses, placing them within easy reach of the city's business districts, transport links and world-famous attractions.

What makes the hotel particularly appealing for corporate events is its impressive flexibility.

Whether you're organising a private board meeting, a multi-day conference, an awards ceremony or a gala dinner, the venue offers a wide range of event spaces to suit every occasion.

Its Grand Ballroom is one of the largest in London, capable of hosting more than 1,000 guests, while a selection of smaller meeting rooms provides equally professional settings for more intimate gatherings.

For delegates travelling into the capital, accessibility is another major advantage.

Located close to Hyde Park Corner and Green Park stations, the hotel is well connected to London's transport network, making it easy for guests to arrive from across the UK and beyond.

We all know a successful event isn't just about the meeting space.

The London Hilton combines exceptional facilities with high-quality accommodation, allowing guests to make the most of their stay.

With more than 450 guest rooms and suites, many offering panoramic views across London's skyline, the venue also excels when it comes to hospitality.

From bespoke catering and experienced event planning teams to stylish dining and networking spaces, every element is designed to create a seamless experience for organisers and attendees alike.

We know that great events start with the right setting, and London Hilton on Park Lane provides a stage that's every bit as impressive as the event itself.
