Leeds is a short distance from a selection of country houses and country hotel type venues, ideal for exclusive meetings. We look at three of them.

arewood House Set within over 200 acres of parkland, designed in part by Capability Brown, Harewood House is one of Yorkshire’ s finest conference locations. A range of dedicated spaces is available in the 18th Century Courtyard able to accommodate from five to 150 guests. Events hosted include product launches, exhibitions, corporate dinners and award ceremonies. The rich, Georgian interiors and the well-trodden rooms Below Stairs provide characterful spaces for groups. Outdoors, Harewood House boasts a formal Terrace and a Georgian Walled Garden. A dedicated event management team adds to the attraction that makes Harewood House a stand out venue for exclusive meetings. The historic Georgian property is situated between Harrogate and Leeds and has on-site parking. Day delegate rates start at £ 50pp for 40 delegates or more, weekdays between 30 October 2017 – March 2018.

Oulton Hall Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf resort lies on the outskirts of Leeds, just a stone’ s throw from the M1 and the M62. Set in 325 acres of rolling parkland, it’ s a venue suited to away days, conferences and fine

dining hosted by their team of butlers. There are nine event rooms in total, and 250 delegates can be accommodated for dinner in the Oulton Suite. The hotel is steeped in history having been first built in the 18th century, so it contains many original features. Organisers can take their drinks reception to the Champagne Bar, or out on the terrace in the formal gardens overlooking the fountains and there is plenty of outdoor space for teambuilding activities. There is also a luxury spa and golf
