Virtual Events at Kents Hill Park
Kents Hill Park, part of The Venues Collection, has always been known for its great space, people and service. While we believe meeting face to face can never be replaced, we have listened to our customers and we are now facilitating amazing virtual & hybrid meetings and events.
Our virtual event experts have the knowledge and experience you need to make your online event a success without the stress.
What is a Hybrid Event?
A conference, meeting or event that is delivered in a venue and via a virtual platform. e.g. An AGM where the Board is in a venue broadcasting via a virtual platform to viewers across the country.

What is a Virtual Event?
A virtual event is purely an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment on the web, rather than meeting in a physical location like a venue. This requires live streaming equipment and a virtual event platform to host on.
Virtual Meetings and Events
Holding a hybrid or virtual event needs the same meticulous planning (if not more) as a physical event. How do you promote it to your delegates, make sure all guests are engaged and getting value, get your messages across effectively, offer networking opportunities, have an event which stands out and everyone remembers for the right reasons?
Our virtual event space at Kents Hill Park gives you the flexibility to hold a completely virtual event or a hybrid event for a mixture of virtual and in-person attendees. We have 70 flexible meeting and training rooms that are perfect for up to 600 delegates. We can offer on-site equipment to make sure your virtual meetings and events go off without a hitch and our friendly event experts are available to help with the planning of and hosting a virtual event.
Kents Hill Park is part of The Venues Collection, working with event organisers to create seamless events both in-person and virtually. With an eco-conscious charter to reduce our impact on the events industry, The Venues Collection have devised our Meetings for Change initiative as part of our Future First Charter.
