Who the Spaces Are For
Wingfield Barns welcomes organisations, artists, educators, and community groups to hire our spaces for their own conferences, training events, workshops, and professional gatherings. Our venue is particularly well suited to those seeking a setting that feels welcoming, creative, and non-corporate.

The barns are set within extensive gardens, offering delegates the opportunity to step outside during breaks, enjoy fresh air, or hold informal discussions in a relaxed outdoor setting.

We also provide free on-site car parking for up to 70 cars, making the venue easily accessible for both local and visiting delegates.

Catering and Refreshments
Lunches and refreshments can be provided in collaboration with The Tudor Bake House, offering high-quality, locally produced food for your event. Catering options can be discussed to suit the format and schedule of your conference or training day.

  • Workshops and project-based learning, both academic and creative
  • Guest speakers and tutors, including artists, craftspeople, and subject specialists
