Whether you have prior experience of hosting meetings or are a first-time event coordinator, you'll find that it pays dividends if you take the time to get your choice of venue right. Nothing can harm the chances of an event's success as much as a poorly-chosen locale or a meeting hall that lacks atmosphere. This is as relevant to business gatherings as much as social events, where people must feel at ease and able to gather in comfort and it's one of the strengths of the places you can hire in and around Durham. Few regions in Britain have as extensive a selection of premises for hire as here, and even fewer have as distinguished a reputation for hospitality and service.

As well as being able to provide superb meeting and conference facilities, the city of Durham's location is ideal for enabling as many people as possible to attend your planned engagement with the minimum of fuss.

Situated directly adjacent to the M1 motorway, attendees of an event hosted in a venue here can reach the place you've chosen to hire within a day's drive from anywhere else in the whole of the UK. As well as great road links, the county and town of Durham are excellently served by the rail network, allowing quick access to the nearby cities of Newcastle, Gateshead and Darlington. Even the nation's capital, London, is only a few hours away, making Durham venues the ideal choice if you intend to invite delegates from further afield.

The ideal venue is more than simply a space for people to congregate: it should embody the essence and priorities of the organisation or person that is hosting the event, and - especially in relation to business meetings - it should reflect the aspirations of those in attendance. In this regard, Durham venues are the perfect choice for occasions of all kinds, with premises available to rent that have an unmistakable charm that is characteristic of the region.

Whether you book a function suite in a Durham hotel or one of the many de-consecrated churches and village halls for hire in the county's rural areas, each venue will have its own inimitable Durham style.

The county is also the ideal venue for recreational and outdoor pursuits, with both the Yorkshire Dales to the south west and the North Yorkshire Moors a short distance away eastward providing outstanding and contrasting examples of natural beauty.

In the county's rural areas such as these you'll also discover some authentic Durham venues of the traditional variety, with a huge number of country pubs and hotels providing the best of service in surroundings of traditional English antiquity.

If you're looking to rent a place for informal business engagements or social affairs such as wedding receptions and birthday parties the county's urban areas also have a wealth of Durham venues that are great for this purpose. Whatever the occasion, you can rely on the premises you see here to offer the best in service as well as great value for money.
