If You Like Idyllic Settings, You’ll Love these Conference Venues in the Lake District

Toying with the idea of events and conference venues in the Lake District? Well, you and thousands of other event organisers, not just in the UK, but worldwide. After all, the region’s rolling hills, serene lakes, and charming architecture create the perfect escape. But did you know this slice of British paradise also moonlights as an exceptional place for corporate events?

 

Wordsworth described the area as “the most loveliest spot than man hath found”, recalls Alexandra Fairclough in her Best British Guides article about the poet’s love affair with the Lakes The loveliest garden that man hath ever made? 

 

Additionally, there are more awe-inspiring conference venues in the Lake District than you might expect, for small meetings, executive team building, or full-blown awards dinners.

Let's be completely honest. PowerPoint presentations are far more palatable when you’re surrounded by mountains and lakes.

 

Furthermore, this team building heaven is also easily accessible despite its tranquil setting, just a hop, skip, and a scenic drive from major cities like Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

 

So, let’s wander lonely as a cloud (figuratively speaking!) through some of the hotels and conference venues in the Lake District we turn to again and again for meeting, incentive and event enquiries.
