Torquay

Torquay offers delegates and guests the best of both worlds – a place to relax but also a place with lots to do.

Famed for its award-winning beaches Torquay is in many ways the quintessential seaside resort. After a day of meetings, a stroll along the palm tree lined promenade is the ideal way to unwind.

But for those wishing for a little added stimulus, Torquay has it covered. From the Agatha Christie Mile to the Living Coasts Zoo, from bars to restaurants to harbourside shops, time away from the conference hall can be as action packed or as relaxing as your delegates choose.

Paignton

Paignton too, with its iconic pier and expansive beaches, is a classic English Rivera resort, full of charm and with plenty to do.

Paignton’s many attractions include an internationally renowned zoo, a steam railway, numerous bars and restaurants and a coastal path with unforgettable views.

Brixham

A traditional maritime town, Brixham is full of history – from a life-size replica of Sir Frances Drake's Golden Hind to the Heritage Museum. There’s a great choice of café’s, bars and restaurants and naturally it's the place to visit for great seafood.
