Over the last couple of
years we have become
accustomed to the outside
being the new inside.
Many hotels and venues have
invested heavily in creating outdoor
spaces that are just as inviting and
comfortable as their inside spaces.
As summer approaches, it's not
going to take much persuasion to
get delegates outside! Whether for a
walking meeting, al fresco dining or a
post-event social gathering, from the
dizzy heights of a city hotel rooftop to
an iconic cricket ground, the following
venues have made the outside the
in-place to be!

The Liverpool skyline must be one of the
most recognised with the Royal Liver
Building, Cunard Building and the Port of
Liverpool Building dominating. Packed with
musical and maritime history, a thriving arts
scene and of course, a football heritage
with two teams dating back to the 1890s,
Liverpool is a must-see with visitors from
across the globe.
Holding a meeting or conference in
Liverpool brings event organisers lots of
opportunities for picking a venue that has
a real connection with the city. Located on
Chapel Street, right on the Dock Front and
just a short taxi ride from Liverpool Lime
Street station, is just such a place.
Mercure Liverpool Atlantic Tower brings
its own nautical seagoing pose to the
famous skyline. With views over the city's
architecture, including the Three Graces,
the hotel offers a mix of flexible meeting
rooms, a sun terrace and a restaurant, all
just metres from Pier Head.
The National Suite is the largest space,
welcoming up to 120 delegates and for a
taste of those iconic Liverpool views, head
to the Vista Restaurant or Vu Bar and
Lounge. With the hotel's great 24-hour
delegate rate of £100, the Atlantic Tower is
an all-rounder that doesn't disappoint.

Nothing says summer in England quite like
cricket and nothing says cricket quite like
Kia Oval! The iconic ground has been
home to Surrey County Cricket Club since
the 1800s and custom dictates the final test
match of the English season is traditionally
played here.
Perhaps not so well-known is the amazing
corporate facilities available for meetings,
events and conferences at Kia Oval.
Situated just outside London's congestion
charge zone and opposite the Oval Tube
Station, there's a wide choice of suites,
boxes and lounges. An impressive top
capacity of 1,500 delegates in the blank
canvas, free-styling Jardine Suite gives
you the freedom to create the event
style you want.
It's the Corinthian Roof Terrace that's a
must for a summer party or post-conference
gathering. Sitting right at the top of the
OCS Stand, this covered area can hold
an impressive 600 guests on an informal
basis. With views of the famous pitch and
the impressive London skyline, a choice of
bars and food stations, an evening of good
company and good conversation is on
the scoreboard!
