News of major investments could give Conference Bureau a good day at the Office

‘The Venue’ at Moddershall Oaks is the result of a £1m investment aimed at creating a medium-sized venue in a superb rural location - with stylish décor and great food. Corporate clients who wish to hold conferences, workshops, product launches or seminars at The Venue will be able to mix business with pleasure. Plus access to state of the art facilities, capable of hosting up to 130 for banqueting, 100 theatre-style, 72 classroom-style, and up to 50 boardroom-style. Moddershall Oaks nestles in 72-acres of some of Staffordshire’s most beautiful countryside, and also boasts top-rated spa facilities. The hotel will also offer facilities for corporate hospitality events and private functions, which will complement Drayton Manor’s existing facilities as well as providing accommodation for corporate delegates. A suite within the new hotel can accommodate up to 150 delegates for conferences, exhibitions and product launches. In addition, the hotel will have three smaller rooms, each accommodating up to 12 people, making them ideal for board meetings. Organisers and event attendees will also benefit from the hotel’s audio visual offering and wireless internet connection. “Post-show research last year showed that around 55% of visitors to this event wanted to see venues and accommodation - which is why we felt it really important that Staffordshire had a presence there,” explains Conference Bureau Manager, Claire Williams. “We’ll have member venues Keele Conferences, Alton Towers Resort and Uttoxeter Racecourse with us, as well as Teamday.co.uk who will be offering delegates to the stand the chance to have a go at throwing their own pot.
