We have a bar area which provides you with somewhere to unwind in the evenings.  From gala dinners in historic Clifford Hall, to Christmas parties and smaller private functions, our events team will be delighted to discuss & deliver an amazing experience for you.

HINKLEY POINT VISITOR CENTRE

The business links between Cannington Court and the Hinkley Point C project along with the close proximity to the construction site to run tours, made us an obvious location choice for the Hinkley Point Visitor Centre.

The centre highlights the importance of the energy mix and how Nuclear power plays an important part through a number of interactive displays. Visitors are encouraged to explore how electricity is created in a fun and immersive way and learn why there is an overwhelming need to produce low carbon energy.
