| Why
Shaftesbury ? |
| Conferences, meetings, and events will enjoy this spectacularly located and historic town for the ‘celebrity’ of Gold Hill, the typically English sloping row of cottages made famous in the Hovis t.v. advertisement. Here, too (in Thomas Hardy’s ‘Shaston’) the remains of an Abbey (and museum – note the collections of herbs), the Shaftsbury Town Museum (see original Dorset bonnets), other fine heritage buildings (e.g. Town Hall), and generally a strong sense of life little changed for two centuries. Venues include smaller characterful hotels and culture/heritage settings.
Proximity to Dorset’s scenic Blackmore Vale and Cranborne Chase areas (adventure pursuits, archaeological remains, nature spotting), to the Wessex countryside made famous by Hardy, and to key towns like Bournemouth and Salisbury, are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Shaftesbury easily via the M3/A30 or A303, by train from London (nearest station is 5m), or using flights into the airports at Bournemouth or Southampton.
In conclusion: Shaftesbury is a quintessentially English small-scale destination that oozes with charm and period atmosphere, and will guarantee a strong choice of cultural or outdoor pursuits.
