Plymouth Pavilions Conference Venue

About us

Plymouth is a place of culture and attracts major events including the British Firework Championships, MTV 'Crashes' Plymouth (which saw 20,000 people on the Hoe), Flavour Fest, Ocean City Festival and the annual Armed Forces Day. Theatres, a concert venue, the UK's largest aquarium and exploring the cobbled streets of the historic Barbican, make Plymouth the 'must visit' destination.
