Social Programme
Telford and Shropshire offers a range of unusual activities to inspire and entertain delegates. Here are our top 10.
Delight guests with a drinks reception at Blists Hill, gateway to Ironbridge Gorge. Blists Hill is an authentically reconstructed Victorian Town, complete with traditional shops and a good old-fashioned funfair.
 |
Dine in style in the shadow of historic aircraft at RAF Cosford. Perfect for high flying events, the fully heated aircraft hangar offers flexible space for meetings or dinners. New on site, for 2007, is the National Cold War Museum. |
Savour the atmosphere of private dining in one of the UK’s finest stately homes, Weston Park. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book and substantially re-developed in 1671, the Weston experience is a privileged glimpse into a bygone age of Royalty, politics, drama and tragedy.
Board the famous steam train at Bridgnorth and experience the nostalgia and style of the “days of steam”. Pass through spectacular countryside, sweeping vistas and cross the Victoria Bridge, a 200 foot single span bridge.
Slow the pace on a leisurely cruise along the River Severn. Relax on a cruise that meanders through the heart of Shropshire – experience England as it used to be: rolling meadows, medieval towns and a more tranquil pace of life.
Explore one of Europe’s greatest historic parklands – Hawkstone Park. Over 400 acres of land, offering endless opportunities for delegates. Hawkstone Follies, a magical landscape created in the 18th century, with intricate pathways, secret tunnels, caves, grottoes and ravines, was voted “Adventure of the Year” by the Good Britain Guide.
Unleash your creative streak! Delegates who fancy themselves as the next Clarice Cliffe, will not fail to be disappointed by a visit to the Coalport China Museum or the Jackfield Tile Musuem in Ironbridge Gorge. Truly inspired guests can create a pot or tile of their own.
 |
Experience the atmosphere at one of Shropshire’s most prestigious corporate events – a night at the Proms. With good company, perfect catering and spectacular classical music, the Proms are an opportunity for delegates to truly unwind. |
Discover what makes Shropshire so special on a quirky and entertaining walking tour of medieval Shrewsbury. With more Tudor buildings than any other town in England - delegates will delight in tales of the history, romance, intrigue and downright ridiculous on a tour of Shrewsbury with specialist Blue Badge guides.
 |
Home of the UK’s “slow food” movement, food is taken very seriously here in Shropshire. Treat delegates to a gourmet tour of the renowned village of Ludlow – with its tantalising restaurants, tea rooms, inns and real ale houses. |
