A luxury hotel in the heart of the New Forest has announced its first conference & events showcase, bringing together businesses, professionals, and industry enthusiasts across the region.
Taking place on Thursday 2nd of November, the 4* Balmer Lawn Hotel and Spa is hosting a free corporate events and conference showcase. With slots running from 12pm-3pm and 4pm-7pm, there will be an opportunity for the attendees to network with like-minded professionals. To facilitate this, Balmer Lawn will be hosting hands-on team-building activities, including cocktail-making masterclasses, archery, and even duck-herding.
The day will allow attendees and prospective businesses to immerse themselves in the conference world – with the hotel’s rooms equipped for a variety of corporate event needs. Amongst the rooms being showcased is an awards venue with staging, lighting, and a 360-degree photo booth, as well as meeting rooms and breakout games rooms. There will also be a talk from an activities specialist, giving ideas for how businesses can make corporate events more engaging.
As a special offer, Balmer Lawn has said that the first 20 companies to confirm their attendance and go on to book an event will even receive a complimentary overnight stay at the hotel.
For guests who book the meeting rooms, all boasting natural light and private terraces, they’re also able to make use of the extensive leisure facilities at Balmer Lawn – including a gym, an indoor and outdoor heated swimming pool, a sauna, and jacuzzi. Its 24-hour delegate package, including an overnight stay, a two-course lunch, and a three-course dinner, starts from £200 per delegate. Balmer Lawn also offers a day package, including snacks, tea and coffee, and lunch, starting at £45.
Businesses who book a conference at the hotel will also be welcomed to a 15% discount on treatments in its spa.
Pauline Clitheroe, the hotel’s Sales Manager who recently made the Cateys’ ‘Revenue Manager of the Year’ shortlist, said: “Our upcoming conference showcase is designed to show how these gatherings can be more than just meetings. For businesses, conferences can play a role in the growth, innovation, and collaboration of a company.”
With the Annual ICE Report reporting that corporate spending on events and brand experiences is expected to rise by as much as 83 per cent, Balmer Lawn will be showcasing a range of fun and engaging team-building activities to leave businesses buzzing with ideas.
Pauline continued: “Corporate events are all about bringing businesses together in a way that’s not only productive but also really enjoyable. We hope we can show that you can mix business with pleasure! We want professionals to connect, brainstorm, and collaborate in an atmosphere that’s lively, engaging, and, above all, fun.”
With its facilities being used by many of the UK’s largest companies from the local region and beyond, the hotel has easily accessible transport links from Southampton and a direct train from London Waterloo, with Brockenhurst Station being just a 10-minute walk from Balmer Lawn. The hotel also has 54 bedrooms and five main meeting spaces, able to accommodate from 2 to 120 delegates.
