Note: Whilst this website cannot endorse individual venues, many of those listed here do provide facilities that meet sustainability
criteria with lower environmental impacts and are therefore worth considering for your conferences, seminars and other events. The Green Tourism Business Scheme, a sustainability certification scheme for tourism businesses, also provides a useful source of venues for meetings, conferences etc in the South West and can be found from this link: feelgood.visitsouthwest.co.uk (external site).
