Why attend The Travel Sauce?

The Travel Sauce is a new type of event in the travel industry that offers a different experience from formal conferences, oversubscribed seminars and competitive networking drinks.

  • A unique venue
  • Actionable insight for travel businesses.
  • Fun, like-minded attendees
  • Inspiring conversations and practical advice
  • Art, horse sculptures and ducks. No, seriously.

Don’t just take our word for it…

“It was hands down the best corporate event I’ve been to so far” Monika Laimaite – WTM London

“I was not expecting to have fun and shed a tear at a travel conference….. they are usually a bit crap.” Ginnie – The Villa Agency

“Loved the setting, miles better than a dull hotel conference room” Ian – Essential Italy

You’ve never been to a travel event like it. Promise.

A different venue

We want to make an impact without making an impact.

It’s all well and good shipping your attendees off to a tropical island for a conference. But we’re a tad more climate-conscious than that.

Sustainability is at the heart of The Travel Sauce, which is why we’re keeping things closer to home.

Our event is hosted at Molecey’s Mill in Lincolnshire, which is less than three hours’ travel (or one hour by train) from London. The post-medieval venue has period architecture, a working 17th-century water wheel and authentic features that have many stories to tell.

There’s nothing like the great outdoors to inspire a different perspective either, and the historic building overlooks 20 acres of idyllic countryside grounds. Its meandering rivers, streams, hidden bridges and picturesque paths will get everyone thinking a little bigger and help to push your ideas a little further.

Independent Food Vendors

Forget about sad plates of soggy sandwiches or flavourless food from a canteen. We’re bringing independent food vendors to The Travel Sauce to offer delicious, organic and local produce for all our attendees.
