An exclusive dinner to promote NewcastleGateshead to business event organisers was held in the London home of The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland last night (26 September).
NewcastleGateshead Convention Bureau hosted the networking dinner, which took place at Syon House. Adrian Evans, Senior Business Tourism Manager at NewcastleGateshead Convention Bureau, said: “We are incredibly grateful to the Duke and Duchess for agreeing to open their home at Syon House up to us, and for joining us for the evening.
“The purpose of the event was to showcase the North East to 90 London-based conference and event organisers. We recognise that buyers can’t always get out of London so we wanted to bring a flavour of the place directly to them.”
Also in attendance at the dinner were some members of staff and Trustees from The Alnwick Garden and Alnwick Castle, where The Duke and Duchess reside in the North East of England. The destination’s newest property, Hotel Indigo, where Marco Pierre White has a steakhouse; Sunderland Football Club and the University of Sunderland, and The Sage Gateshead were among the other venues in attendance.
