The pumpkin spice vibe is for autumn event venues besides lattes. Because who doesn’t love warm, comforting, indulgent corporate event venues to kick off the dark mornings and darker evenings?

 

And the good news? There’s hundreds of atmospheric venues UK-wide for when conversations start turning to changing the clocks, Halloween, and even the C word! This is when majestic autumn event venues are the difference between a standard meeting and something really meaningful.

 

Think historic halls glowing by candlelight, rustic barn venues with twinkling fairy lights, even imposing castle event venues.

 

Let’s find your delegates something worth Instagramming this autumn/winter season.

Historic Autumn Event Venues with Stories to Tell

 

Walls that have seen centuries of drama bring instant gravitas and a ready-made backdrop for your event photographer. And these historic venues for hire really come into their own as autumn and winter event venues. Take:

 

·        Ashridge House, Hertfordshire - Netflix viewers might recognise this epic venue as the country pile in The Gentleman. Think opulence, sweeping staircases and banqueting halls fit for a Queen (literally - Elizabeth I once owned it). Throw in contemporary meeting spaces, leisure facilities, and breathtaking grounds = style and substance.

·        Mottram Hall, Cheshire - A Grade II listed Georgian country house in 270 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, with spa, golf course, and plenty of conference and event spaces. Perfect for business by day, and a champagne cocktail or gourmet boozy hot chocolate on the terrace by night.

Rustic Barn Venues That Glow in Autumn Light

 

Exposed beams, natural textures and wide open spaces are stunning settings for seasonal corporate events.

 

And now summer’s gone, these atmospheric autumn event venues are worth putting on an extra layer for:

 

·        The Post Barn at Donnington & Co, Berkshire - A 10-minute wellness walk (or 5-minute cross country golf buggy ride) from the main hotel facilities, leisure club and spa. Imagine a stunning view across crisply manicured lawns, ginormous windows with streaming natural daylight, and it's own outdoor patio area. This fabulous property certainly comes with the Venue Hunters seal of approval for corporate and social events, meetings, dinners, product launches and so much more.

·        Hidden Hive, Derbyshire – Tipis are ideal for seasonal team building and awards dinners with a difference. And autumn events don’t get quirkier than three giant tipis for up to 150 guests, channeling festival-meets-luxe vibes, in 66 acres of rolling Peak District lakes and woodland. There’s even glamping options next door for a unique experience that feels a lifetime away from the office.

Castle Event Venues Where Drama and Delegates Collide

 

Steeped in history? Timeless architecture? Rich autumnal colours? Frost-kissed mornings?

 

When nothing less than wow factor will do, castle event venues bring larger-than-life atmosphere, especially for seasonal corporate events.

 

Torch-lit entrances and roaring fires set the tone in one of the finest examples of castles side-hustling as autumn event venues:

 

·       Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire - An astonishing setting for higher end corporate events, set in a 16,000 acre estate, with grand state rooms, palatial interiors, and commanding views.  It’s the crème de la crème of unique conference venues, with capacity for up to 200 in the castle and marquee options for 800, plus fine dining and tailored service.
