DAY MEETINGS
Structured day use of the house, the barns or the grounds, for groups who need privacy and a defined working environment.
The estate without the commitment of a residential stay. Used for strategy sessions, planning days, training, professional workshops and facilitated discussion.
How it works
Rooms are agreed in advance, according to the size of the group and the shape of the day. Depending on the booking, this can include exclusive use of the relevant parts of the estate.
Catering is provided on site and built around your timetable rather than a fixed service window.
The spaces
The Dutch Barn is the largest space — 128 square metres, seating up to 90 for dinner, 100 to 120 theatre-style, 50 to 60 classroom-style or 30 to 40 boardroom-style. Good ceiling height, clear floor space and practical access for setting up.
The Saw Mill is 88 square metres, seating 45 to 55 for dining, 70 to 80 theatre-style or 20 to 26 boardroom-style. It works well as a breakout room alongside the Dutch Barn, or on its own for a smaller group.
The Manor House offers a more formal setting. The drawing room, dining room and library suit board discussions, smaller sessions and hosted dining, in rooms that have kept their proportion and character.
The barns and the house can be used together, so a day can move between formal rooms and open working space as the programme requires.
The grounds. Seven acres of grounds, with lawns, garden rooms and orchard, give somewhere to go between sessions — for informal discussion, breakout groups or simply time away from the table.
