Planning guidance

Figures are indicative budget ranges, not quotes. Totals exclude VAT. Final prices depend on venue, dates, service level and inclusions.

Assumptions

Includes accommodation and full catering. Fully catered packages at some venues may include limited alcohol, such as a welcome drink or wine with dinner.

Minimum numbers

Most venues will agree a price based on an agreed minimum number of guests. If your numbers fall below this minimum, you’ll still be expected to pay the agreed amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an exclusive venue?

An exclusive venue is hired just for your group. You’ll have complete access to the bedrooms, meeting areas and grounds without sharing the space with other guests or events.

What’s included in these prices?

The calculator assumes that accommodation and full catering are included. Some venues also provide a welcome drink or wine with dinner, but most charge separately for additional alcohol or drinks packages.

Is alcohol included?

Some venues include a limited amount of alcohol such as a welcome drink or wine with meals. Bars, receptions and extra drinks are usually charged separately.

Can we do self-catering?

A few venues allow self-catering or partial catering. Most of our venues offer fully catered 24-hour packages or day delegate rates that include all meals, and these usually work out far more cost-effective than hiring separate caterers or paying for individual meals.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Sometimes. Most venues do not allow this, but a few will permit you to bring your own alcohol and charge a corkage fee.

Can we bring our own entertainment?

Yes. Most venues are happy for you to arrange your own entertainment such as DJs, live music or team-building providers. Some may ask for insurance details or have sound restrictions after certain hours.

Are venues cheaper at some times of the year?

Yes. Off-peak months such as November to March often have lower rates, especially for midweek stays.

Are weekdays cheaper than weekends?

Usually. Many venues offer lower rates for Monday to Thursday bookings compared to weekends.

What if our group is larger than the venue’s capacity?

We can recommend overflow options such as nearby hotels. Alongside the venues listed on our website, we work with a large number of UK hotels that can accommodate much larger groups.

Do we have to stay overnight?

No. Many of our corporate venues offer day delegate rates that can include meeting spaces, refreshments and lunch without an overnight stay.

Can we arrange transfers from train stations or airports?

Yes. Most venues have experience helping teams arrive from local train stations or airports, and we can recommend trusted travel companies, taxis or minibus hire.

Can we customise the catering or menus?

Yes. Venues are happy to adapt menus to suit your dietary preferences and event style, from working lunches to barbecues to gala dinners.

How accurate are these price estimates?

They are planning ranges based on real venue data and industry benchmarks. For an exact quote, we’ll match your requirements to specific venues and prepare tailored proposals.

I’ve looked through your venues and can’t find one I like. Do you offer any others?
