Many a heart has sunk when asked to be the point-person to organise this year’s big corporate event. Will your choice wow your colleagues and guests? Or will the bland, windowless environment of a local big-chain hotel’s corporate facilities suite see everyone’s experience be an entirely unmemorable day?

It can be like that, but it doesn’t have to! A little research and a bit of imagination can go a long way to ensure your corporate event is memorable, exciting and fun! To help you out, we’ve pulled together some top venues located in some of the UK’s best cities. All of these will definitely provide a location that defines your day!

The Royal Yacht Britannia: Edinburgh

One of the world’s most famous vessels, one of the most beautiful and an icon of our times. Britannia served the Royal Family for over forty years and sailed over one million miles on 968 official visits. Berthed in the historic port of Leith, she is now one of the world’s most prestigious corporate event venues.

House for an Art Lover: Glasgow

Originally designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh as an elegant country retreat for a person of taste and culture, today, more than 110 years later, House for an Art Lover exists to stimulate public interest in art, design and architecture. Set in beautiful parkland this is a perfect venue.

Crathes Castle: Aberdeen

This enchanting 16th-century castle, with a beautiful walled garden, expansive grounds and dedicated event space, is ideal for conferences, team building events and corporate entertaining. In the heart of Royal Deeside, the Castle offers a rural retreat close Aberdeen city centre.

Coronation Street: Manchester

For a night on the cobbles, the Rovers Return is available for hire as a unique venue for corporate and private functions. A truly once in a life time opportunity to impress your guests with a unique event featuring the iconic backdrop of the nation’s favourite street. Guests can become one of the locals and have a drink in the Rovers Return, indulge on gourmet canapés as they nosy into the Platt’s living room and pose for a picture in front of Roy’s Rolls.

London Eye: London

For those with a head for heights, why not experience stunning 360° views of London from your own private capsule on the London Eye? At 135m, the London Eye is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel. With Champagne and canapes, tapas, or even a full three course dinner, what’s not to enjoy!
