Your Conference or Party, our truly unique location

There’s nowhere like Blue Planet for a conference or party. Your guests will be talking about it for months. We have Sand Tiger Sharks that are 10 feet long and thousands of other spectacular creatures on view. Watch them from one of the longest underwater viewing tunnels in the world and ask yourself this: can you possibly imagine a more stimulating backdrop for a business or social occasion?

Dive with our Sharks. One get-together you will never forget

The most anxious moment at most get-togethers is when somebody drops a canapé in the punch bowl. But at Blue Planet it’s when you find yourself with nothing but six inches of water between yourself and a 360-pound Sand Tiger Shark. You (or your boss or your birthday boy or girl) can actually dive into our tank and get up close and personal with these amazing creatures. Don’t worry, you’ll be given a full safety briefing and dives are expertly supervised at all times.

• Blue Planet is rated one of the world’s top ten places to dive with sharks.
• Relax – you’re in safe hands. We are a PADI Dive Centre.
• Too nervous to dive this time? Watch (and take photos!) from the underwater viewing tunnel.

What can we do for you? Just ask.

We can help you organise absolutely everything you need for your party or conference. Just relax and we’ll make sure every last thing goes swimmingly. And if you have any questions, we’ll make sure you get solutions on the spot.

Ask us about seminars, product launches, anniversary celebrations, corporate conventions, office parties, birthday discos – just about anything, really.

Remember, we’ve a proven track-record when it comes to conferences, parties and gatherings of every sort – so you can be sure that whatever magic you want to pull out of the hat on your big day, we can help.

Would you like a menu?

When you fancy a break from business (or boogieing) it’s time for food. Glorious food, that is, courtesy of our in-house catering team.

We can rustle up a banquet for 450 or a buffet for as many as 600. Themed extravaganzas are our speciality and we’ll be happy to run you through some of the events we’ve organised in the past and discuss any ideas you may have of your own.

• Breakfasts and lunches, just ask.

• Superb buffets – finger, fork or à la carte. And, of course, we offer a fully-licensed bar with a wide range of beers, wines and spirits - with soft drinks, teas and coffees readily available at all times.

This really is excellent value for money!

At Blue Planet Aquarium we approach every event as a unique occasion and we are happy to prepare individual costings according to your requirements.

We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the real value for money we offer. Speak to us about numbers, room requirements, extras (shark dives etc) and, of course, your budget and we’ll work out the perfect package for you.
