Southampton

The city's ease of access and variety of venues offers something for
all size and  budget.

Southampton is one of the leading ports in Europe and it’s also Hampshire’s leading maritime city. It’s a thriving convention and conference destination and has seen a recent growth of new conference facilities.

The city’s location and transport links, plus an international airport, make it a desirable place to hold a conference or event. The city centre is just a short walk from the train station or a twenty-minute taxi ride from the airport. Motorway access is located a further ten minutes outside of central Southampton.

Southampton is ever-changing, and new venues and hotels are opening all of the time.  2020 saw the addition of the Marriot Moxy Hotel and the refurbishment of the historic Gods House Tower.  These sit alongside some of the other unique meeting venues within the city, offering a multitude of choice, style and size for you to choose from.
