About Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes was a new town created in the 1960s by the government in response to the need for more new houses. As part of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations it was awarded the status of a city on 15 August 2022.

It is situated in the Southeast of England and is now amongst the most economically productive areas in the UK. The city which recently celebrated 50 years since it was first created as a new town, is famous as the home of the Open University which was established in 1969. Because Milton Keynes has been created rather than grown over the decades it has a very good transport infrastructure making it easy to access and a great base for project management courses.

Transport

Planned with accessibility in mind Milton Keynes is just a 50-minute ride away from Luton Airport which is easy to get to from destinations within the UK, Europe and even a few that are a little further afield. Transport and great links were top of the list when Milton Keynes was built and as a result, getting here on public transport really couldn’t be simpler. The station has direct train links to both London and Birmingham as well as a number of other major cities in the UK. The M1 runs right past the city offering links to London in the South and Leeds and Sheffield in the North. Whilst in Milton Keynes visitors will find it very easy to use public transport thanks to the comprehensive service that is on offer.

Most project management courses can last for several days, so it is a good idea to find some local accommodation. Milton Keynes

Meeting rooms

All of the hotels we have mentioned have good-sized meeting room facilities that can be hired for training courses.

Restaurants

Caribbean, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, Milton Keynes has all of these different cuisines and more so you are certain to be able to find a restaurant that will catch your eye Whilst the area around Milton Keynes may not have any Michelin star restaurants, yet, it does have 3 that the Michelin inspectors have deemed worthy of a mention in the most recent guide The Pilgrim (25 High St, North Marston, MK18 3PD) is an old-fashioned pub, their menu relies heavily on traditional home cooking, not only do they use local sustainable suppliers but also vegetables that they grow in their own garden. Eileen’s by Steve Barringer (86A Dunstable St, Ampthill, MK45 2JP) is a tiny restaurant with just 8 tables and a menu that changes every couple of months The food often focuses on just one or two seasonal ingredients, preparing them in a number of different ways. The final restaurant is Paris House (Woburn Park, MK17 9QP), where the menu has subtle Asian influences and uses taste and texture combinations that enhance each dish.

Entertainment

With a range of bars, pubs and clubs on every street in the centre of Milton Keynes you may want to try something a little different during your evenings in the town. Head over to Snozone at Xscape on Marlborough Gate. This is a small indoor ski centre with an artificial ski slope that is perfect for a little bit of out-of-season practice. Snozone is open until quite late most evenings so makes an unusual evening activity. The Stables Theatre is another alternative you may want to consider for your evenings in Milton Keynes.
