Green Conference Centre Near Bristol

Located in the heart of a 250 acre nature reserve in Somerset’s beautiful Chew Valley, near Bristol and Bath, the Folly Farm Centre has everything you’ve been looking for in a green and away-from-it-all conference centre.

 

Housed in a converted 18th century hay barn, milking parlour, dairy and farmhouse, with uninterrupted views over wildflower meadows and ancient woodland, it offers the perfect combination of peace, tranquillity, eco-friendliness and state-of-the-art facilities.

 

The perfect venue

At Folly Farm you escape from the pressures and distractions of the office to a place where all your requirements are taken care of. From the early stages of planning through to the event itself, our friendly team will be on hand to offer professional advice and manage every last detail.

Outside, the unspoilt meadows and woodland are perfect for a revitalizing walk - we’ll be happy to provide a guided tour. And, for a change of pace, why not consider a team-building exercise that also benefits the environment such as scrub clearing or coppicing?

 

The purpose-built conference suites offer state-of-the-art audio-visual and IT equipment and excellent connectivity. Professional office support, expert pre-conference planning assistance and first-class catering are among the many support services on offer, helping ensure that every events runs smoothly.

 

A room with a view

The period farmhouse offers 9 comfortable en suite bedrooms, and 10 self-catering studios are available in the centre’s beautifully converted cow sheds. Many of the rooms enjoy glorious views across to Chew Valley Lake.

 

With a wealth of wonderful produce on the doorstep, our preferred caterers use fresh local, organic and seasonal ingredients wherever possible, providing guests with a true taste of Somerset - from Exmoor Horn lamb and freshly harvested local vegetables to home-baked farmhouse breads and locally churned cheeses.

 

Protecting the future

Folly Farm and the surrounding nature reserve are owned by the Avon Wildlife Trust and all profits are ploughed back into its valuable work. When you book Folly Farm, you’ll be making a difference by supporting vital ecological and conservation work across the region.

 

And, as you’d expect from a green venue, there are loads of eco-features, including solar hot water, biomass heating, rainwater harvesting and willow-bed waste water treatment.

 

Natural and recycled materials add to the unique character of the centre and many of the rooms have been designed to make optimal use of natural light and ventilation, helping protect the environment and maximise comfort levels for delegates.

 

Choosing Folly Farm is an excellent way to demonstrate your commitment to protecting the planet, so why not add an extra green dimension to your stay? We can provide speakers and tutors from the worlds of CSR, sustainable development, ecology, environmental education and media.
