About Howbery park
The moment you drive through the gates at Howbery Business Park, the 70-acre expanse along the River Thames immediately sets a different tone from typical meeting venues. Our 1850s Grade II listed manor house anchors the property, and we've found that holding meetings here, surrounded by landscaped parkland just a few miles from Oxford, genuinely helps teams think differently. We've been the UK's first solar-powered business park for years now, and this sustainable approach extends throughout our meeting facilities. The Manor Café serves our conference guests with both indoor and outdoor dining spaces - many groups choose to continue discussions over lunch on the terrace when weather permits. Our kitchen team prepares everything from working breakfasts to formal dining, accommodating various dietary requirements that modern meetings demand. What sets us apart for corporate gatherings is the combination of focused meeting spaces and active break options. Between sessions, your team can use our tennis courts, gym, or multi-use games area. The Howbery Park Sports and Social Association runs regular activities including yoga and basketball, and we can arrange boat hire on the Thames for team-building exercises. We've noticed these physical breaks lead to more productive afternoon sessions. Our meeting rooms themselves range from intimate spaces in the manor house to larger modern facilities, all equipped for presentations and video conferencing. The Thames Valley location in Oxfordshire means we're accessible from London, Reading, and Birmingham, yet the riverside setting feels completely removed from urban pressures. Whether you're planning strategic workshops, training sessions, or company gatherings, we provide the infrastructure and environment that helps teams focus. The historic building, sustainable operations, and recreational options create a meeting experience that participants actually remember - for the right reasons.
