| SPECIALLY SELECTED CONFERENCE VENUES |
|
We take great pride and care with our selection of suitable venues for away and off-site meetings, be they residential or daily and with many clients coming from outside the UK, for example America, New Zealand, Australia and Germany we feel it is appropriate to use venues that show some of Britain's heritage.

THE GRAND HOTEL in BRIGHTON, is a magnificent example of Victorian splendour and just oozes character, charm and quality. Without doubt it is our favourite and our most successful venue with a £10m refurbished and magnificent conference centre.
Plenty of activities as well in Brighton from Horseracing, Sailing and even Treasure hunting through the famous lanes.

Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN'S HOUSE built in 1690's is probably our best kept secret, a magnificent and largely original building, it even has the oak panelling in Christopher Wren's bedroom, (perfect for that VIP). Overlooked by Windsor Castle and on the edge of the River Thames we doubt that there is a more convenient and historic venue for that special conference, than this. The bridge over the Thames leads to Eton college.

HEVER CASTLE, the home of Anne Boleyn, and to complement the tranquillity and history of this fascinating venue we always include an hour's tour of the castle.

CHILSTON PARK was originally built in the 1300's and restored by the Millers of antique book fame. It is a treasure trove of antiques and the waiting staff still wear the full length Victorian dresses and every evening at dusk the butler lights some 200 candles. Amazingly isolated and yet so close to London.
We have many other unusual and historic venues as we avoid using modern hotels, where one could be anywhere in the world, for us it is important that we have a chosen carefully for our client and that it is reflected in the status and character of the selected venue.
All of these venues are well placed and within an hour of London, making them convenient, yet far enough from the office to be effective.
We do of course have many other marvellous venues for conferences of all sizes from 6 to 500 and spread across the UK and even Europe.

| Horsley Towers |
|
Horsley Towers is conveniently situated close to the M.25, A3, Guildford and Woking with a fast and regular train service to London making it very accessible for all. This grand Victorian Mansion, set in 70 acres of beautiful Surrey parkland very easy, is now under the excellent De Vere banner which indicates high standards.
The venue provides spaciousness with elegance and is ideal for conferences, parties and team building or even all three. We have used this venue many times very successfully and clients are most complimentary about it, which is always pleasing.
Situated just 5 minutes away is the superb Effingham Golf course a testing and beautiful course that is used as a qualifying course for the British Open and other PGA events for those attempting to make it in the professional world and set on chalky downs there is little problem if wet.
