Where family heritage meets high hospitality expectations, you'll find Highfield Park. Previously known as Heckfield, Highfield Park dates back to the 11th century, when William the Conqueror ordered a survey and valuation of England's land. During this period, the manor was held by the Ports and their successors, including the aristocratic Cresswell family, who maintained control of the manor for almost two hundred years.
Additionally, Colonel William Augustus Pitt, the Governor of Portsmouth, called the manor home in the 18th century, where personal friends of the Duke of Wellington were subsequently honoured as manor guests.
Hosting your next meeting here gives you and your delegates the exciting opportunity to experience and be inspired by the same historic setting enjoyed by highprofile, distinguished guests!
Rooted in significant events throughout British history and renowned for hosting major training events for large companies, this venue is as relevant as it is reputable for guaranteeing a memorable experience. Securing a spot in one of the 15 flexible meeting rooms, all set within this stunning 17th-century mansion house (just a step away from the tranquil summer terrace), is all it takes!
Energising, relaxing, and inspiring—qualities you can expect from an extraordinary corporate retreat, all to be found at Donnington Grove! An irresistible estate with a rich historical legacy, this venue is one of the best places to hold a meeting in Newbury.
Rich in history and nature, Donnington Grove offers function rooms that are both intimate and ornate, designed to impress you and up to 50 delegates. These spaces feature original fireplaces and high, painted ceilings from 18th-century Britain.
The mansion’s charm can be attributed to its previous owners, including historian James Pettit Andrews. His friend, Horace Walpole, built the mansion in the Gothic style, inspired by his own gothic novels.
Although a forerunner to classics such as Dracula and Frankenstein, this venue is no horror show. Its 850acre estate can only be described as elegant, elaborate, and tranquil, with picturesque landscapes thanks to expansions by its 18th-century owners: William Brummell, private secretary to the Prime Minister, and Beau Brummell, a Regencyera icon who revolutionised men’s fashion. Be inspired by Donnington Grove’s grandeur by hosting your next meeting here.
At Hawarden Estate, there is a visitors' book that has been signed by every guest for over 100 years. The signatures of you and your delegates could be the next addition. After all, Queen Elizabeth II and the King have already signed it.
Indeed, experience a royal meeting at Hawarden Estate, which has welcomed an array of distinguished guests, including Oscar winners, high-profile politicians, and renowned creatives. Hawarden Estate believes that people are at the heart and soul of the estate, encompassing those from the past as well as those in the present and future.
Among its notable guests was Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton CBE, a regular visitor who won two Oscars and four Tonys, and served as a photographer for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. In keeping with this royal tradition, William Gladstone, a four-time Prime Minister to Queen Victoria, also expressed his deep affection for Hawarden Estate.
And you can too! Now evolved to include a variety of exciting event spaces, Hawarden Estate offers a unique corporate retreat with 3,500 acres of lush green space, surrounded by scenic rural parkland that features its own private lake, garden, and miles of woodland. Where do you sign?
You already know the answer…
From its early days to the present, Hensol Castle has been altered, improved, and expanded to reflect the individual tastes and designs of the 15th century. Hosting a meeting here ensures that you, too, can make a lasting impression on the hopes, impressions, and expectations of your delegates.
Originally owned by Judge David Jenkins, the estate was passed on to his son-in-law, Lord Chancellor Charles Talbot. It was, indeed, the Talbot family who transformed the mansion into a castle, with impressive landscape development and layout design.
These landscapes were further expanded by subsequent owners of Hensol Castle,an MP, a Chief Commissioner, and a High Sheriff, all of whom contributed to the construction of its lake, walled garden, and summer house.
Despite its strong heritage as a family estate, in the early 20th century, the property was purchased by Glamorgan County Council and used as a county asylum for people with learning disabilities. Fortunately for you, the castle has since been reopened as a centre that can meet all your conference needs. Now an exclusive South Wales conference venue, Hensol Castle is ready to welcome you and up to 304 delegates with state-of-the-art multimedia conference and meeting facilities that you won’t want to miss.
Park up and pick up your board pens at The Parkgate Hotel. Once the Head Post Office for Cardiff and the city's old County Court, The Parkgate Hotel has been revitalised with modern renovations, transforming it from dereliction into a 21st-century gem.
This is not to say there are no features preserved from the early 1900s. In fact, these elements are a key aspect of The Parkgate Hotel's refurbishment, making it a unique venue that embodies the grandeur of late-Victorian and Edwardian civic architecture. Interestingly, The Parkgate Hotel, was constructed in the 19th century and completed as a commemoration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
It quickly became a celebrated and adorned monument, recognised for its fine architecture.
The adjoining County Court, equally elaborate in architectural design, featured a grand entrance hall and intricate French Revival Style elements. Although both the County Court and the Head Post Office were later restructured and relocated to different sites in Cardiff, they were each designated as Grade II listed buildings in the late 20th century.
This designation set a high standard for the unique redevelopment of these historic sites into a hotel. Set equally high standards for your next meeting, accommodating up to 360 guests, with their distinctive Postmaster Suite, located in the heart of Cardiff.
Your search for the perfect historical meeting venue ends at Hunton Park, where, like a fairytale, there’s a happy ending. This is a story of two houses, originally named Hazelwood, spanning nearly 190 years of Hunton Park's rich history…
Henry Botham was a wealthy man in search of a country home. He purchased 74 acres of land and built the original Hazelwood House. After his passing, the estate was inherited by a relative's cousin, Lord Rokeby, who, along with his daughter, made it their home. Over the years, Hazelwood House saw a succession of owners, from Admiral Ralph Cator
to the Vicar of Honingham and The Reverend Gladstone, who collectively rebuilt it into what became the second Hazelwood House.
Where this story ends, your conference journey begins at Hunton Park. A new chapter awaits you and your guests, with nine flexible event spaces and 22 acres of Italian landscaped gardens, accommodating between 2 and 700 attendees. It sounds almost magical—surely, it’s too good to be true…
