Venue Information

Riverside hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon

A modern riverside hotel set amid landscaped gardens beside the River Avon and just a short walk from the town centre. Crowne Plaza Stratford-upon-Avon offers the perfect setting for our conference.

The hotel has everything you’d expect for a comfortable stay, including quiet rooms with premium bedding, a leisure club, a heated pool, and a sauna if you fancy switching off after a long day of sessions.

Stratford itself is a brilliant host town. It’s known for its history and links to Shakespeare, but it’s also packed with restaurants, independent shops, and easy riverside walks that take you straight to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. If you’re making a weekend of it, you’ve also got Warwick Castle, the British Motor Museum, and plenty of other attractions close by.

Getting there is straightforward: Stratford-upon-Avon Station has direct links to Birmingham and London, and Birmingham Airport is roughly a 30-minute drive. The hotel also offers free, superfast Wi-Fi throughout the building and across its grounds, so staying connected is never an issue.
