Lighthouse landed silver at the twelfth annual Dorset Tourism Awards, picking up a coveted award in the Business Events Venue of the Year category. 

The winners were announced last Thursday (6 February) at Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth where 61 winners’ trophies were presented and an audience of finalists and sponsors heard Portland-based Olympic stars Etienne Stott and Laura Baldwin share their experiences of being the best you can be. 

Lucy Funnell, Corporate Development Executive at Lighthouse, says: “Lighthouse works incredibly hard all year round to make sure all those who who comes to Lighthouse have a great experience, whether they come to see a show, attend a conference, take part in a course, or present a trade fair.” 

As well as its exciting programme of high quality and diverse arts and entertainment from national, international, and regional artists, over the last year Lighthouse has been proud to host meetings, conferences, or events for a range of clients including Open University, Forest Holme, Poole Property Club, Diverse Abilities, Bournemouth University, NHS Dorset, Tops Day Nurseries, and the Women’s Institute.

"The award is testament to the exceptional efforts of everyone at Lighthouse who works to create unforgettable experiences for all of our patrons. 

“Not only are we able to support business users deliver their events, our clients find that hosting events in an inspirational arts space offers them a welcome change of pace from their usual business environment,” adds Lucy.
