Are you looking for large conference venues in the UK for your staff? Cumberland Lodge could be just what you’re looking for. Offering a large venue with a twist, you can host successful conferences that employees gain something from, whether that be vital knowledge or new skills. We are like no other conference venue because we are set in the tranquil, remote area of Windsor Great Park. This means your staff can truly focus on the important things with no outside distractions, while being surrounded by nature to boost mood, concentration and relaxation.
We understand that many workplaces don’t have spacious meeting rooms and conference spaces- if any at all- which is why conference venues for large groups are needed. Plus, conferences that occur in the workplace can be less successful due to being in the same environment or overuse of meeting spaces. This is why we provide spacious conference rooms that provide a vital change of scenery, boosting motivation and productivity. Our conference spaces also provide a relaxed and comfortable setting to promote interaction between employees.
Here at Cumberland Lodge, we can accommodate large groups easily as all of our spaces are adaptable to meet your specific requirements. We work with you every step of the way to ensure that your conference runs smoothly and is equipped with everything you need. No matter what type of conference or event you are hosting, you can rely on us.
What makes our large conference venue near London unique?
There are several factors that make Cumberland Lodge unique, standing out from other large conference venues for hire. We are truly a venue with a difference that is bound to impress your employees. Unlike other venues, we provide a picturesque setting to create the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for any conference. Our stunning, historic Lodge is unique on its own, never mind with the added value of spacious rooms and the vast greenery that surrounds us. The home has a rich history and is a beautiful country house that is made up of three parts, offering plenty of conference spaces of various sizes, accommodation and dining.
Our tranquil environment
The historic Lodge is not just what makes us so different, but it’s also the serene location that our home is nestled in. We are right in the heart of Windsor Great Park to create a remote and peaceful atmosphere for your conference. This means there’s vivid greenery that surrounds our home and breathtaking countryside, from the tall trees that make up the magical ancient woodland to the stunning colourful meadows. Your staff can be fully immersed in nature wherever they go, even when they’re not outdoors. You can gain unparalleled countryside views to bring the outdoors into your event. The tranquil landscapes can also encourage staff to exercise, take a breather and connect to nature when they can. Free time has never felt so good, thanks to the open green spaces that our guests can enjoy during their visit- which, in turn, relaxes them and keeps them motivated. Having this easy access to nature can really improve your conference and allow staff to feel at ease instantly, feeling content, productive and rejuvenated.
A peaceful atmosphere
Many conference venues for large groups for hire are located in hectic cities, where staff can’t escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Outside distractions, such as cars passing by and the constant pings of phones, can easily disrupt conferences held in these spaces, and other buildings overlook your space (so you always feel like somebody’s watching you). Cumberland Lodge takes away all of this and gives you a space where everybody can feel comfortable, confident and happy. The tall trees that overlook our home provide utter seclusion and privacy. You don’t have to worry about outside distractions and strangers overlooking your event. The only thing that can be seen and heard is greenery and wildlife, from the rustling of trees to the chirping of the birds.
Our values
We are also unique because we are a charitable initiative that focuses on developing the next generation of leaders. Our goal is to bring people together to share their ideas, socialise and learn in a relaxing environment. This is why we focus on minimising the use of technology in our academic workshops to promote face-to-face interaction. We continue this encouragement of disconnecting with every conference we hold. However, we understand that not every part of your conference can be technology-free. Due to this, all of our rooms have strong internet access, power supplies for laptops and phones and technologies for hybrid and live-streamed events.
Remote atmosphere, accessible location
Although our large conference venue is off the grid, we are highly accessible to people from all over the UK and the rest of the world. The UK’s major motorway networks- the M25, M3 and M4- connect us to every area in the country. On top of this, there are multiple train stations close by that have direct access to central London, as well as welcoming multiple services from many parts of the country. If your conference event includes those living internationally, you don’t have to worry about them reaching your event either. Heathrow Airport is only a 25-minute taxi ride away from our home.
Comfortable and spacious conference spaces
Our spaces to use for your conference are what make us one of the best conference venues for large groups. Each and every space has a unique character and charm to suit your event and make staff feel at ease. Even with the historic background of our home, you can still get a contemporary space with everything you require. We choose comfortable furniture and fresh colour schemes to suit the space and the event, with our most modern rooms being in our wonderful Mews Conference Centre and stunning period spaces in the Lodge.
As well as this, we can provide plenty of space to hold large groups while still being able to comfortably move around. Our Mews Conference Centre holds the majority of our spaces and has the largest conference room available- Flitcroft. This room has the capacity to fit 100 people and can ensure that everyone remains comfortable. It has a welcoming and calming atmosphere to help large groups immerse themselves in the activities of the conference and get the most out of it. When you book this large space, you also get to utilise the two adjoining rooms (Windham and Greening), which are ideal for small group work. In the Lodge itself, there are multiple large spaces that can be used for large conference events. Our Sandby room is ideal for conferences and can accommodate up to 50 people. This room is spacious and cosy to improve focus and confidence for everybody to share their ideas.
We also provide smaller spaces to be used as breakout rooms or for intimate discussions. We put comfort at the forefront of everything we do, and our relaxing spaces make the most out of this. These areas, such as the Sitting Room, are perfect for relaxing and socialising away from the buzz of the conference, letting everyone take a breather. No matter what space you use, you can expect a warm, welcoming and relaxing experience with gorgeous sweeping views of the countryside.
