Institute HQ and Centre of Excellence

The Consultation Institute's  HQ and Centre of Excellence is at Biggleswade in Bedfordshire.

It has been built as a venue for Masterclasses and Training courses, and also as a meeting point with access to a wide range of materials and resources,

It is situated only 45 yards from the main London-Edinburgh railway line with frequent services from all stations north and south (see train timings below). It is also only 5 mintes from the A1, 30 minutes from Luton Airport and 45 minutes from Stansted.

The Centre will also host free-of-charge Special Interest Group meetings and Roundtables with everything to hand.

We also expect to showcase eParticipation technologies and offer our Centre for all-important training in using new tools and techniques in public engagement.

Visitors are always welcome and, if you expect to be passing by, do give us a ring and drop in.
