CN speaks to the team at Lancaster Conferences
to learn more about the meetings offering
hat sort of events
can you run at
Lancaster
Conferences?
With a portfolio like ours, we have the
perfect space for a broad range of
events. We offer a vast assortment of
rooms that provide all the AV
equipment you could need for
presentations, meetings and
interactive sessions. We also have
our premier ‘big spaces’ like the LICA
Building and the Great Hall, ideal for
holding a variety of events from
banquets to plenary talks. Our
on-campus theatres are suitable for
lectures during larger conferences,
whilst the reception spaces in
buildings like The Conference Centre
offer light and bright breakout
spaces. Forrest Hills, one of our most
unique spaces is a combination of
countryside views and rustic
aesthetics making it great for those
all-important team-building days.
What else can delegates do and
see, do you have gardens?
Our on-campus location is great for
delegates who are looking to cut
loose after work is done.
The greenery on campus is vast
with our lovely woodland walk; a great
place to stroll the stresses of the day
away. Some of our facilities include a
modern sports centre with everything
from saunas and a climbing wall, to a
100-station gym and 25m indoor
pool. If a delegate is looking to take in
some culture, we have also a
contemporary art gallery right here on
campus, while Lancaster city centre
is just a short drive or bus journey
away.
Another benefit of our on-campus
location is the wide selection of
eateries and bars on our doorstep;
from Grizedale Bar’s cocktails to
trendy snacking spots like the Deli,
we have it all just a stone’s throw

mention other amenities like a post

Are there healthy food options?
Our multi-award-winning catering
team deliver healthy, tailor-made
refreshments, from sandwiches to
fork buffets and banquets to
barbecues. Where possible the team
strives to use locally sourced and
fair-trade ingredients. We are also
fully allergen accredited meaning that
we can cater for all dietary
requirements.
If you are looking for a healthy dish
outside of your event, there are many
eateries across campus that serve
anything from fresh in-house made
salads at the Deli, to hearty
homemade dishes at the
Marketplace – there is something for
everyone.
