This complex provides two adjacent and inter-linked conference and meeting facilities that can be used independently or as a single unit according to need. There are excellent and well equipped catering facilities. The two parts of this complex are known as the Fowden Hall and the Lewis Hall in recognition of the contribution of Directors from recent times.

The Fowden was opened in 1987 and provides flexible theatre style accommodation suitable for meetings with an audience of 80 to 250.

The Lewis Hall was opened in 1999 and makes available a single main area of approximately 10m by 14m for exhibition and poster display purposes or for private dining for up to 120 diners at a single sitting. The flexible nature of this area can allow any combination of these facilities. Also available are an executive dining room for seating up to 10 and three seminar suites suitable for between 20 to 50 participants depending upon style of seating.

Location

In a rural environment, but within 20 minutes travelling time from London this is an ideal, modern, out-of-town venue for meetings, seminars, exhibitions and lectures.

Travelling by car is simple with M1 junctions 9 or 10 nearby as well as the M25 being within easy reach. Harpenden railway station is only 5 minutes walk and gives direct, fast rail links to Kings Cross (Thameslink), Blackfriars and other central London stations.

International airports are within easy reach. London-Luton and London-Gatwick have direct rail links to Harpenden with travel times of 5 minutes and 70 minutes respectively. Other nearby airports include London-Heathrow and London-Stansted, but these will require change of trains in London or use of a car.
