Whether you're hosting a corporate retreat, annual conference, or product launch, Devon delivers a setting that helps people focus, connect, and recharge.

Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave

Despite its rural charm, Devon is surprisingly well connected. With direct rail links to London, Birmingham, and the North, two regional airports, and an expanding road network, getting here is straightforward for delegates coming from across the UK and beyond. You can be surrounded by rolling hills or coastal views without losing access to the transport and tech that keep events running smoothly.

Conference Venues With Character

Forget sterile hotel ballrooms. Conference venues in Devon range from historic castles and country estates to cutting-edge innovation centres and purpose-built conference halls. There’s a space to suit every agenda, whether you're planning an intimate team strategy day or a 500-delegate summit. Many venues also offer hybrid meeting capabilities, giving you the flexibility to include remote participants without compromising the experience.

Space to Think

Devon isn't just a backdrop; it becomes part of the experience. Delegates are often more engaged and creative when they’re not boxed into city high-rises. From windswept moors to dramatic coastlines, Devon offers the kind of natural space that inspires fresh thinking. Build in breaks for outdoor activities, or incorporate wellbeing elements into your itinerary to boost energy and participation.

Sustainable and Forward-Thinking

With a growing number of eco-conscious venues and suppliers, Devon is leading the way in sustainable business events. Many venues prioritise green energy, local sourcing, and low-impact practices, making it easier to align your event with corporate sustainability goals. Choosing Devon is a statement that your organisation values the future, not just the bottom line.
