Help!

I'm organising a corporate evening event in or around Southampton for about 20 to 50 people and was looking for a venue. I don't know the area that well so does anybody know anywheres that would be suitable?

The event is for dentists so could be good for potential custom!

Thanks

There is Meridien Modena (Fezza, Lambo, Alfa etc) in Lyndhurst (about 15-30 minutes outside Soton town). Beaulieu motor museum in the New Forest (again, 15-30 minutes outside). There's a Rolls Royce dealership somewhere in the Forest too, but I've only driven past once and can't recall where it is! There is a lovely new Toyota/Lexus dealership in Hedge End, the building is lovely and have some fantasticly well laid out displays - it looks big enough to do 'corporate events' inside too.

Southampton isn't a fantastic place for higher end car showrooms (I assume that's what you're looking for). There are a lot of 'normal' places (BMW, Merc etc), but Meridien is about the only place that has some real tasty metal.

I can cater for a few cups of tea and maybe even a penguin bar round my gaff, only £50 per head. Deal?

ETA - There are a lot of non-car based palces which are great. Botleigh Grange Hotel in Hedge End is beautiful (I had my wedding reception there last year). Botley Park Hotel is nice too, it has a good golf course (apparently) so should keep the dentists happy! The Grande Harbour Hotel is quite plush and is only 5 minutes walk from the main drinking stretch of Soton (and a few more minutes to some rather dirty titty bars).

What about something different

Www.Sunseekercharters.net

They have a yacht 88 based in ocean village. Pretty sure it can host upto 50 as long as she is still tied up alongside, max 12 people on sea charter.
