About
Tewinbury Farm Hotel
Tewinbury Farm Hotel is a four-star countryside hotel and events venue set within 700 acres of Hertfordshire countryside near Welwyn. Evolving from a working dairy farm, the estate combines characterful barns, contemporary meeting rooms, outdoor event spaces, accommodation, restaurants and extensive grounds, making it particularly well suited to conferences, company away days, team building, residential meetings, weddings and large-scale celebrations.
Corporate events can range from meetings for a handful of delegates through to conferences and company gatherings for 500 guests indoors, while the estate's outdoor spaces extend its capabilities considerably further. The combination of dedicated AV, multiple breakout spaces, natural daylight, outdoor areas and on-site accommodation makes Tewinbury particularly strong for events designed to move beyond a conventional hotel conference environment.
Event Spaces
Meadow Barn
The largest indoor event space at Tewinbury, the Meadow Barn is a flexible blank-canvas venue accommodating up to 500 guests for informal events or 350 seated. Its proximity to the activity field makes it particularly suited to large conferences, company celebrations, away days, product launches and events incorporating team-building activities.
The venue offers syndicate space, complimentary parking and a private bar on request, while its neutral interior allows organisers considerable flexibility over branding, production and event design.
Tythe Barn
A characterful 17th-century barn positioned beside the River Mimram, combining original architectural features with contemporary conference facilities. The Tythe Barn accommodates up to 150 reception, 150 dinner, 120 theatre-style, 90 cabaret, 40 classroom/U-shape or 32 boardroom according to current conference specifications.
Facilities include a drop-down screen, built-in LCD projector, PA system, dedicated registration area, four syndicate rooms, additional breakout areas and a private garden and terrace.
Millstream Suite
A first-floor meeting and event suite overlooking the river, bird sanctuary and surrounding water meadow. The Millstream accommodates up to 90 reception, 70 theatre-style, 60 dinner or cabaret, 40 classroom, 22 U-shape or 20 boardroom.

Integrated AV, a drop-down screen, speaker system, private bar and direct access to outside space are available.

A flexible smaller meeting and syndicate room accommodating up to 25 reception, 24 theatre, 20 dinner/boardroom, 18 cabaret or 14 U-shape. It can operate independently or provide breakout space alongside a larger conference.
Picturehouse
Located on the Kingsbridge Estate, the Picturehouse provides a deliberately informal alternative to a traditional meeting room, accommodating approximately 24–30 people for meetings and team gatherings. It includes state-of-the-art AV, informal seating, exclusive use of a bar and access to landscaped gardens.
Roots Garden
An outdoor private-event and team-building space within Tewinbury's vegetable garden for approximately 10–100 guests. An all-weather safari tent, BBQ, cocktail van, sound system, campfires and informal seating create a distinctive setting for corporate dinners, summer events and team gatherings.
Farm Yard
A large open-air riverside events space designed for informal corporate events, celebrations and live entertainment. Tewinbury's corporate page currently states capacity for 250 standing / 200 seated, although its celebrations page quotes 300 standing / 220 seated, so the exact configuration should be confirmed for individual events.
Facilities include a fully stocked bar, street-food options, space for live music or DJs, production power and indoor/outdoor flow.
Top of The Crop Festival Ground
The estate's largest outdoor event space, available on a dry-hire basis and accommodating up to 800 guests. The festival ground includes a stage, barn and informal seating and is particularly suited to company festivals, large-scale summer parties, team-building events and experiential activations.

Why Hire
Tewinbury offers something substantially different from a conventional conference hotel. Its combination of converted barns, contemporary meeting rooms, riverside spaces, gardens and extensive countryside means an event can move between formal business sessions, outdoor activities, private dining and social events without leaving the estate.
It is particularly strong for company away days and residential events, where the environment is part of the experience rather than simply somewhere to hold a meeting. Despite its rural setting, Welwyn North is around 33 minutes by train from London King's Cross, followed by approximately a five-minute taxi journey to the hotel.
