Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa, near Southport on the Merseyside coast, has two large suites for conferences of up to 300 and 200 delegates and two loft boardrooms for smaller meetings. It combines meeting space with golf, which suits an away day with a round afterwards, and corporate golf days are listed separately on the resort's pages. The address is Southport Old Road, Formby, Southport, L37 0AB.
Seminars and company events
The resort positions its Ambassador and Diplomat suites for conferences, gala dinners and private events, and its Parklands and Links suites for board meetings, training and workshops. The two loft boardrooms are quiet, private spaces that can be arranged in several layouts and are placed together, so one can serve as the boardroom and the other as a breakout or lunch room. The venue says it lies close to Liverpool, Manchester and Southport, and that the Parklands and Links suites offer a quieter setting away from the city.
Rooms and capacities
The Ambassador Suite is the largest room. It takes up to 300 delegates for a conference and can also host gala dinners and private events. It can be divided into smaller spaces or breakout areas. It has two private bars, a wraparound balcony with panoramic views and plenty of natural light.
The Diplomat Suite seats up to 200 for conferences and for private or social events. It has views over the golf course, a private bar, and a breakout room with balcony access that suits drinks receptions and networking.
The Parklands and Links Suites are loft boardrooms. Their capacities are not published. A PDF of the suite layouts is linked on the resort's page, so ask for it when you request dates.
