A refreshing place to think

Our venues and suppliers give teams the chance to get right away from ‘business as usual’ – wide open spaces, clean air and stunning scenery really break the work place routine and give the chance to think clearly and make the most of the experiences Wales has to offer.

Planners seeking physical challenges and adrenaline laden experiences will find no shortage of options in Wales – maybe at one of the famous experience locations at Zip World where delegates can undertake a range of challenges – or make use of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel which offers high quality accommodation, spa and meeting spaces.
