Brockholes

Brockholes Conference Centre offers organisers a distinctive setting for conferences, meetings, training days, corporate events and weddings in the Lancashire countryside. The venue forms part of Brockholes Nature Reserve, a unique floating visitor village surrounded by water, reedbeds and wildlife, while remaining conveniently close to Junction 31 of the M6 near Preston.

The Meadow Lake Suite provides flexible spaces for conferences, presentations, workshops, board meetings, networking sessions and private functions. The larger Reeding Room can host up to 130 delegates in theatre layout, while the smaller Den is suitable for more intimate meetings and breakout sessions. Additional rooms, including Kestrel Kitchen and Peckish, provide further options for larger groups, informal gatherings and private events. The wider site can also be hired for selected occasions.

Bookings include practical facilities such as Wi-Fi, projector and screen access, sound equipment, accessible facilities and complimentary parking, subject to vehicle registration. Organisers can choose from refreshments, breakfast options, light buffets, fork buffets and café-style meals, with vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free choices available. External catering may be considered by arrangement.

For corporate away days, Brockholes can add nature-based activities including guided wildlife walks, bushcraft, woodland games and geocaching. The venue also provides a memorable wedding setting, with lakeside ceremony spaces, reception rooms and locally sourced menus. Events held here contribute to the conservation work of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, giving organisers the opportunity to support regional wildlife while hosting their guests in an unusual and inspiring venue.
