About
Set within the beautiful woodland once home to legendary outlaw Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest offers a truly unique setting for conferences, meetings and corporate events. Easily accessible via the A1 and M1, and just 90 minutes from London by train, everything you need is conveniently located in one place. Discover a variety of versatile meeting and event spaces at The Venue, alongside a wide range of team-building activities, shops and restaurants, Aqua Sana Forest Spa and luxury onsite accommodation – all surrounded by majestic oaks and pines. Following a £4.5m transformation, The Venue showcases a design concept that brings the outdoors in, with décor and furnishings inspired by the natural world and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the iconic lake. Our conference centre in the forest can accommodate up to 550 guests and features six flexible suites with removable walls, allowing spaces to be used individually or combined into one large area – ideal for both large-scale events and more intimate gatherings. The Venue also offers outdoor terraces, a reception area, bar and cloakroom, free superfast WiFi, and a state-of-the-art AV system with bespoke lighting and digital screens for fully customisable events. Dedicated event parking and EV charging points are also available. With an extensive choice of team-building activities, there’s something for everyone – from adrenaline-fuelled adventures and watersports on the lake to more relaxed, creative experiences. Delegates can also unwind with a visit to the award-winning Aqua Sana Forest Spa, featuring 25 nature-inspired experiences. When it comes to dining, choose from specially curated event menus at The Venue as well as a variety of onsite restaurants. After a productive day, guests can relax in spacious accommodation, from luxury Treehouses to open-plan lodges and stylish hotel rooms, all set in the heart of the forest.
