Rural location

The historic Main Hall boasts beautiful lawns for outdoor receptions, marquees and team building events; by contrast, the Bramley Building has purpose built modern classrooms for meetings and breakout space. Our brand new venue, the Lyth Building, in the heart of the campus, offers exhibition space for large conferences and events, meeting rooms and dedicated dining and networking spaces.
