Perhaps it’s the fresh, clean air, effectively clearing the mind and encouraging creative thought... or the unique minerals in our famous spa water focusing the mind... or the hundred of miles of dramatic landscape encouraging strategic action... or the friendliness of the people you meet helping you to relax... or it could just be that when you book your next event in Derbyshire, you are assured of quality venues, superior service and excellence as standard. We have everything you could possibly need, from 17th Century castles to quaint country retreats, from state of the art city hotels to stadiums and concert halls. We literally have it all and by working with you, can tailor the complete package.

With excellent air, road, bus and rail links, Derbyshire is conveniently situated at the heart of the UK. More than 80% of Britains` population is within two hours drive from Derbyshire. The M1 motorway runs along county from juntion 24 - 31 and the M6 is only a short distance away via the connecting A50 and A38 roads.

There are three major airports within easy reach of Derbyshire. Manchester Airport is only 25 minutes from Buxton, Birmingham Airport only 38 minutes from Derby city and of course East Midlands Airport is right on our border. The Derby Airline Shuttle provides links from East Midlands Airport to Derby Railway Station and the city centre every half hour during the day and hourly at other times, 7 days a week. Taxis operated by Checker Cars, are available from the Taxi Office, opposite the information desk in the terminal building, 24 hours a day and cost approximately £24 into Derby city centre. Hire car facilities are also conveniently situated in the Arrivals Area of the Terminal Building.

If you would prefer to travel by train, Derbyshire’s centrality makes it easily accessible from many major cities with direct rail links from London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and many other UK towns and cities. To complete your journey, taxis run consistently from right outside the rail station across the city and county.

National Express services run coaches from Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, London and many other UK towns and cities directly into Derby City Centre and once in Derbyshire, bus services run regular routes right across the county.
