Venues with outdoor space are ideal for parties and team building activities and offer something different away from the office when it comes to corporate events.
Outdoor venues are also often a lot more flexible than their indoor counterparts, as they essentially present a blank space for you to build your event from the ground up. You can play around with staging, furniture, lighting and different party 'zones' to create the exact atmosphere you're looking for.
Hosting an outdoor event can be done on various budgets, and space can give you more flexibility on numbers, including social distancing, compared with some indoor capacities on rooms.
All of our venues with outdoor space have teams who can recommend the best suppliers for outdoor events.
Being outside in the fresh air is good for us. It helps our immune systems and it also increases our serotonin production, meaning feel-good endorphins are released when we take a few deep breaths of fresh air.
Opting for an outdoor venue may have only been something you've thought about in the warmer months, but this year outdoor events are topping the trend whatever the time of year or event.
So what are the benefits for you and your team when you take an event or celebration outside?
It can boost your immune system.
It can release all the negative energy piled up in your body.
You can get a dose of vitamin D from the sun.
It can ease anxiety and depression.
You can eat more mindfully.

Although our spaces will have different safety processes in place, your experience's quality won't be changed. You can rely on our venues for award-winning catering, cutting-edge AV and expert teams to ensure your training event goes smoothly.
All guests and staff are wearing face coverings and PPE.
