Devon is more than a beautiful location. It is a powerful asset for your next business event. Located in the heart of South West England, Devon offers an unbeatable combination of accessibility, natural beauty, and regional character that makes any conference or event stand out. With two coastlines, rolling countryside, historic towns, and vibrant cities, Devon delivers experiences that go beyond the boardroom.

A Landscape That Energises

From the wild expanses of Dartmoor and Exmoor to the dramatic Jurassic Coast and peaceful South Hams, Devon’s varied landscape brings energy and inspiration to every event. Delegates can enjoy outdoor activities between sessions or simply unwind in the fresh air. Whether you're planning breakout sessions in nature or evening walks by the sea, the landscape is part of the experience.

Culture, Creativity and Innovation

Devon’s cultural richness makes it a rewarding place to explore. The region boasts historic architecture, independent food scenes, local art galleries, and a packed calendar of festivals and events. But Devon isn’t all heritage. It is also home to innovation hubs, universities, and businesses shaping the future in fields like marine tech, environmental science, and digital media. It is where tradition and forward-thinking meet.

Connected Yet Refreshingly Different

Devon feels like a retreat, but it is far from remote. With mainline train services to London and the Midlands, easy access from the M5 and A30, and regional airports in Exeter and nearby Bristol, getting to Devon is stress-free. Once here, the pace changes. You get the time and space to focus, away from the noise but never out of touch.

A Warm Welcome for Business

Devon is known for its hospitality, and that extends to the business community. Whether you're hosting a high-level conference, an industry meet-up, or a team-building getaway, you'll find professional venues, experienced suppliers, and a welcoming atmosphere. Local partnerships are strong, and the Devon Venue Hub is here to connect you with trusted contacts who can bring your event to life.

More Than a Meeting Destination

What makes Devon truly different is what delegates take away. It is not just about meetings and agendas. It is about connection, wellbeing, and fresh thinking. In Devon, downtime becomes part of the business experience. Surfing before breakfast, walking meetings on the moors, cream teas with a view — Devon refreshes minds as well as calendars.
