The Mount Batten Centre is the South West UK’s premier Watersports facility and one of the region’s most spectacular waterfront venues. The city of Plymouth is just a few minutes away by water-taxi, with the famous Plymouth Hoe, the historic Barbican, cinemas, restaurants, swimming pools, ice skating rink, theatres and modern shopping centre all within walking distance. Frequent buses also run between the Mount Batten Centre and the city centre.

The Mount Batten Centre stands on the side of the Cattewater, looking across the river towards Sutton Harbour and Queen Anne’s Battery Marina, home of the OSTAR and Round Britain races.

The centre has good disabled access and facilities, ample parking, a waterside terrace and bars with extensive bar menus. Several of the multihulls featured in the symposium will be moored alongside the Centre’s 100 metre pontoon.
