With the strengthening of the dollar, a reduced rate of VAT and many new hotels and conference facilities the UK is greater value than ever. Showcasing four countries and four distinct cultures within our borders, all embraced by the Union Jack, is unique to the United Kingdom. The UK is a successful blend of in-your-face fashion and nerve jangling music with the elegance of stately homes and the best live theater that serves to define the English language. It’s great cuisine showcased by extraordinary British chefs like Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein and many others providing gourmet dining, to fish and chips, to Haggis, to Leeks, to afternoon tea! Common to all four countries is the passion of the beautiful game (of soccer) but singly unique is the Welsh Male Voice Choir, the Lone Scottish piper in his resplendent kilt of a tartan that can be traced back to the clans of a thousand years ago, to the sheer variety and number of English roses at the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens at Wisley. And in Northern Ireland visitors marvel at the natural beauty of the Giants Causeway and the Glens of Antrim to name but two.

The rich variety of hotels, venues, conference and event facilities in London, unquestionably one of the world’s greatest capitals, is mirrored in the capitals of the other three countries -- Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. And in-between there are the regional hubs like Birmingham, Manchester, Harrogate, Glasgow and Aberdeen, all with multi-million dollar, state of the art conference and meeting facilities. For the corporate retreats and special events or final night dinners there are the stately homes (complete with the Lord and Lady of the Manor) and magnificent castles, like Leeds Castle dating back to the King of England in 850 (built by the King for his Queen and originally called Lady’s Castle) and Hever Castle, in the 1500’s home of the Bullen family and where Anne Boleyn, later Queen of England and King Henry VIII’s second wife, grew up. These and many, many others have the facilities for small meetings, dinners, events and retreats.
