For corporate events near Solihull, The Loft above The Barn at Berryfields is designed to do considerably more than host a private lunch. Seating up to 45 or accommodating 60 standing, the first-floor room can be configured boardroom-style, U-shaped or theatre-style for meetings, presentations and training sessions, before being reset for networking, dining or drinks later in the day.
The Loft does a great job of looking polished but not bland. Timber details, upholstered seating and a warm, contemporary finish keep it feeling connected to The Barn downstairs, while the layout can be stripped back for product launches, wellness sessions or even used as a temporary Pilates studio. For larger receptions, tables can be moved to the edges to create more open floor space.
The tech provision is particularly useful for business bookings. There is a large Smart TV with AirPlay, Chromecast and video-conferencing equipment, alongside free fibre Wi-Fi, an independent sound system, flipchart and pens. Acoustic sound-proof doors and privacy blinds help keep meetings discreet, while air conditioning and heating make the room comfortable throughout the day. It is fully accessible via lift, with toilets on the same level and free on-site parking.
Location is another practical advantage: The Loft is around 10 minutes from the NEC, Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International station, making it convenient for teams or delegates arriving from different parts of the country. It is available Monday to Saturday from 9am until late.
The Barn at Berryfields also boasts a two AA Rosette restaurant. All the menus follow a farm-to-table ethos, showcasing home-reared pork and beef, home-grown fruit and vegetables and handmade bakery produce. If you'd like to serve food at your event, examples of dishes might include pan-seared scallops and sweetcorn velouté, glazed lamb shoulder or marinated burrata, while mains include sage-and-onion rolled pork belly, seabass with sauce vierge, venison haunch or Hereford sirloin, ribeye or fillet.
