We were pleased to attend the Meet Plymouth Showcase at Home Park Stadium yesterday.

Our Conference and Hotel Managers were proud to represent Buckfast Abbey, raising the profile of our conference and accommodation facilities and engaging with the wider business community across Plymouth and the surrounding area. It was a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow organisations, share ideas, and highlight Buckfast Abbey as a destination for conferences, events, and business tourism.

We were also delighted to welcome back Abby Greener, Conference & Events Manager, returning from maternity leave.

With thanks to Visit Plymouth for bringing the showcase together.
