Hospitality that feels personal 

The team at De Vere Cotswold Water Park delivers hospitality with genuine care. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was relaxed, attentive and refreshingly unfussy. Dinner showcased their commitment to quality: thoughtful flavours, beautifully presented dishes and a clear focus on elevating event catering beyond the expected. The breakfast options are also varied, with lots of choice for all dietary requirements. Whether you’re planning a conference lunch, a private dinner, or a multi‑day residential, the culinary offering is a real strength here. 

With two indoor areas available, the upstairs Mallard Suite offers ample open space with its own private registration and bar area, as well as a terrace overlooking the lake, providing natural daylight and a versatile space for larger functions that can also be split into smaller spaces. The downstairs restaurant is also available for private hire, allowing for outdoor and indoor catering with further views of the lake. 

The downstairs Kingfisher Suite also has its own outdoor area, with a large marquee space also included that allows for around 500 guests for bigger events.  

Outdoor spaces that transform events 

One of the venue’s greatest assets is its connection to the outdoors. Lakeside terraces, landscaped lawns and peaceful walking routes create opportunities for breakout sessions, team‑building, alfresco drinks receptions, or simply giving delegates a breath of fresh air between sessions. The views alone add a sense of calm and openness that’s hard to replicate indoors. 

These outdoor areas aren’t just scenic, they’re also practical. Many are directly linked to meeting suites, making transitions seamless and allowing planners to design events that flow naturally between indoor and outdoor environments. 

Flexible spaces for every format 

Inside, the venue offers a wide range of rooms suitable for everything from intimate strategy sessions to large conferences. The combination of modern facilities and lakeside surroundings gives events a distinctive feel: professional, but never sterile, with a strong connection to nature always present.  

Our stay gave us a deeper appreciation of how the venue operates day‑to‑day. The team’s pride in the property was clear, and their willingness to tailor experiences for clients makes this a strong contender for away‑days, retreats and residential events where atmosphere matters just as much as functionality.

Purpose-built with creativity and adaptability in mind, The Box introduces a striking contemporary venue that offers event organisers a true blank canvas. With around 900 square metres of open event space, the venue has the capacity to host over 400 delegates, making it an ideal setting for conferences, exhibitions, networking events and experiential event formats that require room to think big. 

What makes The Box particularly appealing is its flexibility. The space has been designed so organisers can shape it entirely around their event concept, whether that’s a large plenary session, an immersive brand experience, an exhibition-led conference or a dynamic networking environment. The modern design, clean lines and expansive layout allow for a wide range of room configurations, while large windows bring in natural daylight to create a bright and energising atmosphere for delegates. 

The venue has also been thoughtfully positioned within the wider resort to maximise event potential. The Box can operate as a standalone venue or work seamlessly alongside the resort’s existing conference facilities, giving planners the ability to expand their event footprint if required. For example, it could act as a dedicated exhibition or networking hub while conference sessions take place in neighbouring spaces. 

While The Box may be the newest addition, it sits within the established event infrastructure of Wyboston Lakes Resort, a well-known destination for meetings, training and conferences. Set within 380 acres of lakeside countryside, the resort provides a fully integrated event environment where delegates can stay, meet and relax all in one location. 

Alongside The Box, the resort offers a wide variety of meeting spaces across its three dedicated venues: the Woodlands Event Centre, The Willows Training Centre and the Waterfront Hotel. Together these provide more than 50 meeting and event spaces, as well as over 400 bedrooms, allowing organisers to host anything from small strategy sessions to large multi-day conferences. 

With the introduction of The Box, Wyboston Lakes Resort has added a fresh and highly adaptable venue to its already impressive portfolio. For event planners looking to create something impactful, with space for creativity, collaboration and scale, this exciting new venue is certainly one to watch. 

If you’d like to find out more about Wyboston Lakes or enquire about hosting your next event in one of their spaces, get in touch with us today and we’d be more than happy to help.  Let the Sheer Edge team start shaping an event that’s as memorable as the setting.
