Some of those cities through me for a loop as well, until I realized that they were villages outside of London.
So maybe London -- Manchester -- Birmingham -- London in one week would be an interesting set of dates.
How about dates? In the US. the fourth week of November is bad, because everyone gets Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving. How is November 19-23?
Then, December is mostly wide open, since no one wants to compete with holiday parties.
The seminars tend to track a lot of accountants. The first weeks of January are bad because the corporate accountants are closing the books. After than, the chartered accountants are in tax season and won't come out from February 1 through April 15.
Our spring holiday in March 23-March 28. This is deep in the heart of tax season here, and half of the attendees would be out of town.
What is the situation with date in England?

You could possibly add Leeds into the list of cities too?
60 miles between Leeds & Manchester ?

Dates wise November is a good time - focusing on situations with accountants, many companies have 31st December year ends hence any time from January thru to March is probably out of the question. The tax year end is 5th April so April is out too (many companies also have 31st March year ends). Personal tax deadline is 31st January so many small business/personal accountants will be thoroughly busy in January additionally.
All said and done, November 19-23 is a relatively quiet time and doesn't interfere with, say, month end reporting.

OK - let me show my complete lack of knowledge about England.
There are inexpensive flights to London landing on Sunday November 18, returning Friday November 23. They are inexpensive enough that I could bring my wife and 2 boys along for the trip.
Is there some rational "driving tour" where I could do a seminar each morning, then get in a car and drive to the next city. How long of a drive from London to Manchester or Leeds? Manchester or Leeds to Birmingham? Birmingham to Southhampton? Southhampton back to London? Or maybe on Sunday I would fly to Manchester, then drive to Birmingham Monday afternoon, drive to Southhampton Tuesday afternoon, then to London. Let me know what makes sense...
