Nautical, but nice             (Venues - Themed)

As befits a venue that was bestowed a Best Unusual Venue Award this year the Alton Towers Resort is now offering an event space in its new pirate-themed aquarium, Sharkbait Reef by Sea Life.                   Bethany Hutton-Stigga 28 May'09

The Sharbait Reef augments the more formal conference facilities at the Alton Towers Resort and allows companies to stage their conferences in a memorable setting. That acquatic setting could see delegates dining in the Ocean Tunnel while over 300 exotic species of fish float by in the Sharkbait Reef.

The venue is near the Resort’s hotels and features a walk-through 10 metre Ocean Tank Tunnel, which is the UK’s only tropical interactive pool, and offers the potential for more challenging team-building sessions for those who dare.

Naturally the fun at the rest of the Resort can be weaved into corporate packages allowing guests to enhance the experience with ride hire for free offers and fast-track passes for the theme park.

“The Resort’s award-winning conference centre caters for all occasions and we aim to offer a unique, creative environment for conferences, as well as traditional corporate packages," said Dominique Sidley, head of corporate events and trade sales at the Alton Towers Resort. "We are pleased to announce that our latest attraction, Sharkbait Reef,  is now available for corporate hire - the only place in the UK to offer this combined service.”

All delegate rates start from £35pp.
