Agricultural Business Centre
Set in the heart of Bakewell, amid the rolling hills of the Derbyshire Dales, the Agricultural Business Centre (ABC) is the ideal venue for meetings, conferences, seminars and training workshops.
With livestock markets taking place every Monday, together with additional monthly sales, the ABC is very much a working environment. On these days, the place bustles with activity and this can form an interesting backdrop to a variety of events.
Visitors can view the bidding for cattle from special galleries above the main auction rings or observe the selling of smaller livestock under the unique marquee effect roof of the sheep and calf penning areas.
Function rooms are available for hire, with extensive facilities. To book or for further details, call 01629 813 777 or email abc@derbyshiredales.gov.uk
