BUSINESS EVENTS AT THE COW SHED
Why The Cow Shed?
We've all been there. A two day business meeting in a dark room at the end of a corridor in a face-less conference venue. No fresh air, no space to move around, no daylight, beige walls, tech that doesn't work properly and luke-warm coffee. No inspiration, no creative thinking and no excuse.
In today's business environment, where remote working is common, getting teams or customers together to connect, build relationships and learn from each other in an engaging way is more important than ever before. The Cow Shed offers a different take on a corporate meeting venue to the traditional hotel or conference centre:
More inspiring - a meeting or function room with plenty of space, lots of natural daylight, fresh air, kit that works, immediate access to a private outside space, a great countryside view, casual seating for breakouts and even a football table!
More flexible - a fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge space so you get coffee when you want it, and connect as a team in a relaxed, social environment. Make cooking lunch together part of the team building experience, or get a chef in to do it for you. You can even get the BBQ on or make up some pizzas in the wood fired pizza oven.
More affordable - cheaper than most conference hotels on a per room basis, plus your own kitchen, dining, and outside spaces all included.
More confidential - you have the whole building and garden area to yourself.
Whether you are planning a business meeting, team building away day, customer dinner, director's retreat, strategy day, conference or training programme, The Cow Shed is the venue for you.
