Cumberland Lodge has more repeat business than most conference centres, so please book your event early.

We ask our visitors what brings them back to the Lodge and they say it is a combination of three things:House in the Snow

  • A calm and reflective atmosphere conducive to good discussion
  • The historic surroundings and green environment
  • The superb food from award-winning chefs and friendly staff who run the Lodge as a home rather than a hotel

The Lodge is not run for profit and does not have any share holders (click here to find out more about our charitable mission). For all bookings enquiries contact Matthew Hancock. Tel 01784 497780

The Foundation is charged under Royal Warrant with ensuring that the special tone of Cumberland Lodge remains unique. We are entrusted with these handsome buildings so that conversations, formal and informal, may take place which will each in their way contribute to the betterment of society. Our interpretation of that mission, in which the world of higher education will always be pivotal but not exclusive, is generous and wide-ranging. It ensures, however, that coming to the Lodge remains a privilege and hopefully an experience that our guests will remember all their lives.

The Foundation responsible for running Cumberland Lodge was set up in 1947 with university participation at the forefront of its concerns. This has remained so to the present day. Many thousands of university students and teachers have come to the Lodge since then to discuss issues wider than those that can be addressed in ordinary course work or research.

The Lodge is able to accept bookings from commercial and business concerns, particularly when there is an element of training in the work they plan to do when with us.
