The perfect platform for conferences Day Delegate Packages 2016 2017 The Ribblehead
Our unique venue In 1975 the National Railway Museum was opened at Leeman Road in York. The huge former steam locomotive depot was an ideal site for a National Railway Museum. Following its conversion and opening as the very first national museum outside London, the museum was an immediate success with the public. Today the NRM is one of Britain s busiest museums and is perhaps the most popular railway museum in the world. It serves a diverse audience at its two sites and elsewhere through its network of partnerships with museums and heritage railways across the UK. Conference Centre The museum has a dedicated conference centre offering six suites each named after locomotives that have transported, inspired and entertained us. This multi-purpose venue which has been twice named Conference Venue of the Year at the Visit York Tourism Awards has a dedicated branded entrance and reception for delegates, unique catering facilities, free guest parking and Wi-Fi throughout. We understand the complexity of organising a conference, and that is why you will have a dedicated event organiser to help you with all the logistics of the day and be on hand throughout to assist with any enquiries to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible.
