This one-day spectacular, organised by the Area Tourism Partnership, visitTeesvalley, is an exceptional opportunity to showcase, all under one roof, what the Tees Valley has to offer the business traveller.  With over 25 high standard hotels, unique conference venues and corporate activity providers already signed up to exhibit and a pre registered list of attendees growing daily the event looks set to be a great success.

The show will open with a speed-networking event and half hourly prize draws will run throughout the day with over 33 prizes to give away, from free nights B&B,  to free room hire, catering and goody bags.  Also try your hand at quad biking or 4x4 driving in the car park, courteousy of Arena Quads.

Team development provider, TeamSmart will also be there with their ‘Big Picture’ event, where visitors to the show will help complete a picture by a famous artist.  Each individual will be asked to paint a small section of the painting, which when joined with the other sections will complete the ‘Big Picture’.  The final piece will be donated to charity.

This event highlights some of our exceptional and unique facilities such as Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience - a reconstruction of an 18th Century Seaport, the 12th Century Walworth Castle Hotel, two university campuses, the 4 star Redworth Hall Hotel and the two football clubs – and some lucky visitors will get the chance to sample the venues with prize draws for free accommodation with selected properties”
