Are you looking for a venue with spacious meeting rooms, delicious food and a warm environment? Look no further than Christian Conference Trust. As a charity that has over 100 years of serving the Christian family, we know what it means to "get it right". Price is important too, so here are six reasons why we’re better value than a hotel.
1. Our prices are on average 54% lower than hotels
Let's get straight to the point. Our prices are on average 54% lower than hotels*, which sets us apart. We are a not-for-profit organisation with the primary aim of serving the Church and seeing ministry grow. This means our focus is on how we can make conferencing with us as attainable as possible.
2. Unlimited Coffee
We all agree that coffee and tea are a must during a conference. However, paying extra for coffee really racks up the price. We are happy to offer unlimited hot drinks throughout your stay as part of our all-inclusive price. But wait, there's more! Homemade cakes will be brought out during your coffee breaks to accompany your hot drinks.
3. Three hot meals a day
Food can make or break your time away. Not only can food quality put you off, but extortionate pricing can too. At a hotel, you will pay extra when adding meals to your conference price. Here at Christian Conference Trust, we not only offer 3 hot meals a day as part of our all-inclusive price; we take care of your food allergies and preferences with a choice of delicious alternatives free of charge!

4. Free A/V hire
Have you ever tried booking a conference and had to hire A/V equipment? Say goodbye to that concept because here at our venues, you can use our sound desks, screens, mics and more completely free of charge!

5. Beautiful inside and out
Have you ever visited a hotel that is beautiful on the inside but lacks character on the outside? Or you've wanted to spend time in nature during a hotel conference but been surrounded by concrete and roads? At our venues, we have stunning buildings with over 100 years of history and an abundance of gorgeous grounds to explore, drink coffee in, or play sports.

6. An environment you won't find elsewhere
It is important to us that you feel welcome and at home. Part of feeling at ease is knowing you can pray and worship in peace. With our large meeting rooms and respectful staff, you can do just that. Having a comfortable atmosphere when conferencing is priceless, which makes Christian Conference Trust venues better value than a hotel. Since we have been serving Christian groups for over 100 years we know how best to serve and accommodate you.
