Corporate Event Venues with Accommodation

Why hire a whole venue for a corporate event?

Team building, conferences, strategy days and Christmas parties all work better away from the office. Hiring a whole venue gives your team a private base for the day or the week: rooms to meet and present in, grounds for activities, a shared table for dinner and bedrooms so nobody has to rush for the last train. Because no other guests are booked in, conversations stay confidential and the schedule is entirely yours.

We have 76 corporate event venues across the UK, including Dreamstone Castle in Swansea, Pulborough Estate in Pulborough and Toft Estate in Leek. From large estates in the countryside to grand manor houses steeped in history, each one is hired by a single group at a time.

Team building and corporate retreats

Corporate retreats give colleagues the time and space to connect. Venues with expansive grounds, such as Toft Estate and Hamps Hall & Barn, have room for outdoor team-building activities – sports matches, scavenger hunts, cooking challenges or a guided walk – while games rooms, hot tubs and pools give everyone a way to unwind. Finish the day with a meeting, then a shared dinner and a nightcap before heading to bed under the same roof.

Activity and concierge companies can organise the programme for you, from clay shooting to chef-led cookery classes. Our team can suggest local suppliers who know each venue.

Conferences, meetings and product launches

A conference or launch is a chance to make an impression. A historic house with a grand reception room sets the tone for presentations and pitches, while smaller lounges and studies work well for breakout sessions and workshops. Most venues have Wi-Fi throughout; for larger events, bring in an audio-visual company to supply screens, sound and lighting. Ask our team about power, internet speed and room layouts before you book.

Corporate away days and breaks

Turning a meeting into an away day – or a two-night corporate break – takes it out of the usual routine. A change of scene gets people thinking differently, and time together over meals and evenings builds the relationships that make teams work. With exclusive use you can invite colleagues from across the country, or the world, to come together in one place, with everyone staying on site.

Christmas parties and summer celebrations

For a Christmas party or summer office party, a private venue means no shared dance floor and no taxi queue at midnight. Many of our houses have large gardens with space for a marquee, a temporary bar and music, and grand dining rooms for a sit-down dinner. Because guests can stay over, the celebration can carry on into a relaxed breakfast the next morning.

How many people can stay?

Our corporate event venues sleep between 4 and 80 people, and 15 of them sleep 30 or more. Many have plenty of bedrooms, so larger teams can stay together while keeping the privacy corporate guests expect. Day delegates can often join for meetings and dinner; check the day-guest limit with our team. Use the Sleeps filter above to see only the venues big enough for your group.

Location and travel

Our venues are spread across the UK, from the Peak District and the Midlands to the South West, Wales and Scotland, and many are within easy reach of major cities by road or rail. When you shortlist, consider where your team is travelling from, the nearest station and how much parking the venue has. A minibus from the station is often the simplest way to get everyone there on time.

Costs and when to book

One price covers the whole venue and every bedroom, so the cost per person compares well with a hotel and conference centre, especially for multi-night stays. Prices depend on the venue, the season, the day of the week and the number of nights. Midweek dates are usually easier to find and cost less – ideal for away days and conferences – while December books up early for Christmas parties. Enter your dates above to see which venues are free.
