Testimonials
We are proud to have hosted events such as the Blind Games and the Transplant Games which has given us a key insight into running events which may have different requirements. We love to go the extra mile to make every guest feel heard and have a positive experience in our facilities. But don’t take our words for it, here are some words from our previous clients.
Help For Heroes
"I don’t think we’ve ever had a venue that has supported us so well. Everything was conveniently close for all the athletes, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The venue—Warwick Conferences and Warwick Sport—along with its service, support, food, and accommodation, exceeded expectations. Operationally, it couldn’t have gone any better."
