The advantages of Morecambe and the heritage City of Lancaster as conference destinations are already known to hundreds of organisers who have used the hotels, campuses and venues. Whether your need is for a quick meeting over coffee close to the M6 motorway or for a two-week international symposium, the region has much to offer the organiser. Set in the beautiful and largely undiscovered North Lancashire countryside which includes the Lune Valley and the Forest of Bowland, this superb coastline and historic City offers conference delegates unique and stunning views across Morecambe Bay with the most breathtaking sunsets which silhouette the fells of the Lake District, only 40 minutes' drive north. Major investment in the town of Morecambe by the public and private sectors has enabled the resort to attract national and regional conferences. The modern University campus in Lancaster set in extensive parkland has over 25 years' conference experience and the University College of St Martin's campus set in 35 acres is extremely convenient to the historic City Centre. Morecambe's superb new conference venue, The Platform, is located within the restored Edwardian Railway Station. It offers unique conference and exhibition facilities. The main auditorium seats up to 300 people. The Platform has natural light, is fully accessible for disabled guests and has a loop system. Both Lancaster and Morecambe have grand, spacious Town Halls with banqueting facilities and reception rooms. There are spectacular country house estates and the splendid Ashton Memorial is suitable for special functions and product launches. Smaller country hotels are suitable for out-of-town meetings and seminars. Delegates can be assured of a warm reception and excellent value for money. |
