Residential conference centres with a gym
Attending a conference with work can often throw your daily routine out of balance – particularly if it's an overnight event.
Perhaps you want to enjoy a football game with colleagues in Yarnfield Park's sizable sports hall? Or how about trying your hand in a competitive game of squash or tennis? Or maybe you just need to wind down in the solace of your own company after a full day of training and networking. Whatever the choice, we have something for you.

On the village outskirts, our popular training and conference venue is just 2 miles from Stone Golf Club and 7 miles from the beautiful gardens at Trentham Estate.
