Ashridge House

Set among 190 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, Ashridge House offers event planners a historic estate for weddings, conferences, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. The house and grounds bring together period architecture, landscaped gardens and a choice of indoor and outdoor settings, with event teams available to help shape the occasion.

For weddings, couples can choose from heritage rooms and the separate Duke's Yard collection, which includes a barn, coach house, stables and glasshouse. These spaces can accommodate different parts of the day, from the ceremony and wedding breakfast to evening dancing. Wedding coordination, dining options and on-site rooms help organisers plan a celebration where guests can stay overnight.

Corporate organisers can book more than 20 meeting and conference spaces, supported by 50 breakout rooms. The largest room accommodates up to 250 delegates, making the estate suitable for conferences, meetings, training sessions, retreats and team away days. Day delegate and residential packages can include catering, audiovisual facilities and accommodation. There are 189 bedrooms on the estate for multi-day programmes and events with overnight guests.

The venue also welcomes private hire events for up to 350 guests, with options to use the house, grounds or a marquee. Its event team can work with organisers on layouts, catering partners and other suppliers. With historic interiors, extensive outdoor space, dining facilities and bedrooms in one location, Ashridge House gives planners several ways to build an event programme around their guests and occasion.
