Groups and events

An off-site that is actually off site

Twenty acres, a private lake and 17 cottages, an hour from Manchester. Bring the whole team and have the village to yourselves.

Away days

The hall for the working day, the lake and grounds for everything else. Catering in, activities out the front door, and no minibus between venue and hotel because they are the same place.

Conferences that sleep over

Seat up to 120 in the Darwin Hall, then walk two minutes to bed. With the village to yourselves, the conversation carries on by the lake instead of ending in a hotel lobby.

Retreats and reunions

Youth weekends, family reunions, yoga retreats: 17 cottages, one kitchen team cooking for everyone, and Peak Adventures when heads need clearing.

The lounge at The Haven, Winster

For smaller sessions

The Haven, Winster

A private space of its own for smaller corporate groups, retreats and the quieter parts of a wedding weekend, a short walk from the hall.

The in-house kitchen cooks for the group wherever you are: working lunches, private dinners and an evening bar in the hall.
