When searching for an event space to host a conference or exhibition, event planners often find themselves searching for that holy grail of a venue which manages to be both somewhere that guests will be excited to visit, but also a space which has all of the necessary facilities, technical equipment and amenities that you need.
Step forward Ascot Racecourse, which may be most famous for the annual Royal Ascot Festival, but also doubles as a state-of-the-art conference, exhibitions, meetings and entertainment venue. Located in Berkshire, Ascot is less than an hour from London by train and just 30 minutes journey from Heathrow airport for delegates coming in from overseas. The venue boasts more than 300 meeting and conference rooms, which vary in size and can accommodate a variety of layouts - from boardroom to cabaret, or dinner to theatre style. Event planners can choose between traditional or contemporary spaces, which can all be personalised and amended to the specific requirements of each event planner.
Ascot can also cater to a range of party sizes, with the venue able to accommodate all manner of events, ranging from a boardroom meeting for just 10 to a large-scale conference or exhibition welcoming up to 8,000 guests. For consumer and B2B events, such as trade fairs, Ascot’s gorgeous Grandstand Galleria is the place to hire. It comes complete with a 27m high atrium and boasts over 4,000 square metres of flexible exhibition space, offering a blank canvas for individual trader stalls, product demonstrations or keynote speeches.
Whether you are planning an intimate meeting, large conference with requirements for presentations, dining and break-out rooms, or a complex exhibition, Ascot’s in-built sense of occasion is backed up by its facilities, flexibility and up-to-the-minute technologies to meet and exceed your expectations. The versatility of Ascot as an events space is its unique selling point, while the venue’s famous reputation and firm place in sporting history will make it an exciting prospect to any delegates, consumers or visitors.
