The Grove’s sprawling 300-acre estate in Hertfordshire provides one of the most flexible and striking country house event venues near London for corporate functions and social celebrations alike. Easily reached from the M25 and M1 as well as Heathrow and Luton airports, the hotel combines accessibility with a sense of escape, matched with beautifully landscaped gardens and parkland.
For corporate event hire, and businesses looking to gather teams or host large-scale conferences, The Grove offers more than 25 event spaces with strong natural daylight, air-conditioning, AV capability and high-speed Wi-Fi. The Amber Suite is the largest, accommodating up to 450 delegates in a banquet or theatre layout, with the option to subdivide or branch out to suit breakouts or workshops. The Cedar and Ivory, meanwhile, can host up to 166 and 120 guests respectively, while a suite of smaller meeting rooms provides spaces for meetings with up to 12. The team supports corporate hire by building tailored corporate packages and all-day delegate options, with catering and accommodation as required.
The Grove’s team-building options and summer party venues are equally well thought out. In addition to archery, bike rides, axe throwing, and falconry displays elsewhere on the grounds, The Grove’s Walled Garden has space for garden parties, barbecues, outdoor games or drinks receptions. Alternatively, for covered celebrations, The Potting Shed hosts up to 72 for dinners in an impressive plant-filled space.
Social celebrations flourish here, too. The Grove welcomes birthday parties of all sizes, big anniversary gatherings, milestone events and bar and bat mitzvahs with flexible layouts, private entrances and dedicated bar and terrace areas. As for smaller celebrations, the Garden Room has that covered, thanks to a neutral green colour scheme and a capacity of 30 guests. Events catering is impressive too, drawing on a range of diverse kitchens and tailored to the specific needs of your event.
