About Chester Zoo
When you book a meeting at Chester Zoo, you're not just reserving a conference room—you're stepping into spaces where Victorian heritage meets conservation purpose. We manage two remarkable venues here: The Square and The Oakfield, each bringing something different to your corporate gatherings. The Square catches everyone's attention with its soaring vaulted rafters and exposed brick walls. This Grade II listed building underwent a sustainable renovation that preserved its character while adding everything modern meetings need. The main space comfortably hosts 200 delegates, though we can accommodate up to 380 across all our meeting rooms. Those large feature windows flood your sessions with natural light while offering views of our private garden—perfect for those coffee breaks when minds need to wander. The courtyard gives teams space to breathe between sessions. Our Victorian mansion, The Oakfield, offers a completely different atmosphere. The ornate rooms here overlook the zoological gardens, creating an inspiring backdrop for strategy sessions or board meetings. We've kept the original decorative details while ensuring the spaces work flexibly for different group sizes and meeting styles. Both venues come with complimentary parking and Wi-Fi as standard. Our in-house AV equipment handles everything from simple presentations to complex video conferences. When it comes to catering, we work around your schedule—whether that's working lunches to keep momentum going or formal sit-down meals for evening functions. Here's what makes hosting your meeting with us truly meaningful: every pound spent goes directly toward preventing wildlife extinction. Your morning conference literally helps save endangered species across the globe. We handle corporate events, training days, board meetings, and even those hybrid conference-and-team-building sessions where delegates might explore the zoo between agenda items.
