The CTA Winter Networking event takes place on 23-25 November in Blackpool based at The Imperial Hotel.
The event includes a Fam trip on Sunday morning to the National Trust’s Rufford Old Hall, returning via Lytham St Annes for lunch at the Offshore Hotel – coach provided by Brethertons Gold Line Holidays. And thanks to generous support from Merlin Entertainments, there is also an opportunity to enjoy afternoon tea at the Tower Ballroom (Sat only) as well as a complimentary visit to the High Jinx circus, Madame Tussauds and Sealife Blackpool, plus a heritage tram ride and visit to ‘Christmas by the Sea’ courtesy of Visit Blackpool.
On Sunday evening there is a reception and networking dinner. This includes a spectacular Showtime with West End star Nicholas Duncan sponsored by CN Live Productions, and after-dinner drinks sponsored by Irish Ferries.
On Monday morning there will be an informal Supplier Showcase which will have suppliers at tables and buyers circulating.
