Hodsock Priory Welcomes the Stars of Strictly Come Dancing to Prestigious Event

Aug. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Hodsock Priory has surpassed the client’s wishes and expectations!

This is why Insurance brokers, Atkinson Smith, once again selected the picturesque Hodsock Priory, located on the South Yorkshire/Nottinghamshire border to host its prestigious annual event for its private clients.

“We had already hosted a Champagne tasting evening at Hodsock Priory last year and we’re completely bowled over by the venue, the level of service and the attention to detail that was bestowed upon us,”
commented Ian Laycock Managing Director Atkinson Smith.

“When it came to hosting our black tie event this year Hodsock was our only choice and once again George and his team delivered above and beyond our expectations. We, and all our clients had a fantastic evening and we shall look forward to working with George again in the future.”

The event, which was held for Atkinson Smith’s private clients, saw guests enjoy a drinks reception followed by a delicious meal courtesy of Complete Catering. Then, stars of Strictly Come Dancing, Yorkshire based Darren Bennett and wife Lilia Kopolova took to the floor astounding the audience with their dancing prowess before encouraging unsuspecting guests to take part in their master class!

“It was a fantastic evening and atmosphere and all the guests had a thoroughly enjoyable time,” commented George. “We were delighted to welcome Darren and Lilia to tread the boards in the Priory – I think it is fair to say that the dance floor has never been exposed to such professionals before!”

Hodsock Priory is available for events, conferences, meetings, weddings and short breaks. An exciting programme of events is planned at Hodsock Priory including music, theatre and fine dining, full details of which can be found by visiting www.hodsockpriory.com.
