Kents Hill Park came in to visit us this week. Here are 5 key facts about them:
1) Purpose built; Kents Hill Park is one of the largest dedicated training and conference centres in the UK – just completed £2.4 million refurbishment in July 2016.
2) Centrally located with excellent transport links to the rest of the country, 4 miles from Central Milton Keynes railway station and 5/10 minutes from Junction 13/14 of the M1. Only 22 Miles from London Luton Airport.
