Deal is a seaside town with a strong sense of itself. Its pier, opened in 1957, is the last fully intact leisure pier in Kent, and Henry VIII's Deal Castle and Walmer Castle sit along the same shingle beach. On a clear day you can see France, about 25 miles away.
Sandwich, a few miles north, is one of England's best-preserved medieval towns. On its edge is Discovery Park, a large former pharmaceutical site that's now home to science and technology businesses.
That mix suits two kinds of event. Working meetings and training sit well at Discovery Park, with its business setting and parking. Team days, socials and smaller workshops are better in Deal, where the seafront does half the work for you.
