There were thrills aplenty at the Executive PA Magazine reader event held at Alton Towers over the weekend of 25-26 March. For those who arrived with time to spare, tickets were available for the Alton Towers Water Park so PAs could take the plunge and enjoy the watery delights. Others took the time to relax in the surroundings of the Alton Towers Hotel before dressing for the Champagne and Canapé reception in the Alton Towers Conference Centre.

“The venue is spectacular”

At 7pm our readers gathered in Sir Algernon’s Lounge to sample the delicious canapés and sip champagne with their peers and representatives from the venue. Before dinner Executive PA Magazine readers were also treated to a show around of Alton Towers Hotel, Splash Landings Hotel, Alton Towers Water Park and Alton Towers Spa.

“Our guests were astonished that we had a dedicated Conference Centre which can accommodate over 500 delegates theatre style, 320 delegates cabaret style and 240 delegates classroom style” said Rachael Cotton, from Alton Towers. “They all felt The Stateroom was a spectacular venue for dinners and could really add a special twist to their events with its fantastic décor” Following the tour it was time for a private dinner in the Conference Centre, followed by drinks and evening entertainment in the Alton Towers Hotel.

"everything you could ask for within a theme park and    more!"

The next morning guests gathered for breakfast and were then invited to join a tour of the Extraordinary Golf and park corporate venues before being let loose to enjoy everything that the theme park has to offer for the rest of the day! “Many attendees loved the fact that they could add unusual team building activities to their conferences, such as a round of Extraordinary Golf, The Alton Challenge, or exclusive ride hire of one of the many popular rollercoasters at the resort – a sure way to energise your delegates!” explained Rachael.

“The venue is spectacular” declared Marissa Irons, PA at Nuffield Health. “Not only do they have amazing facilities for a corporate event but they also have everything you could ask for within a theme park and more! The hotels standards were great – happy, welcoming and professional staff and the rooms were fun, clean and very comfortable.”
