About the Venue
A wonderful new venue is now available to those seeking distinctive locations
for meetings and conferences: the Courtyard at Harewood - providing superb hospitality
and conferencing in a unique historic setting.
This Grade 1 listed building, in the grounds of Harewood House, has been restored
externally and transformed internally to provide conferencing and hospitality
facilities of the highest quality. Originally a stable block built in 1755, the
Courtyard overlooks the wonderful ‘Capability’ Brown landscape and beautiful
lake: an idyllic, utterly inspirational location – yet only 7 miles from the hubbub
of Leeds and Harrogate city centres. And with unlimited free parking for delegates,
they can really concentrate on the business in hand!
A fine balance has been held between restoration of the original features with
appropriate materials, designs and craftsmanship, and the installation of stylish
contemporary interiors and facilities. The original beams span the light and
airy spaces, creating an inspirational and refreshing environment. Delegates enjoy
the very best of both worlds, not least in the purpose-built Harewood Suite lecture
theatre with inbuilt state-of-the-art technology equipped for all modern corporate
and meeting needs, including integral audio-visual facilities, high speed wireless
internet connections ….and much more.
The Gawthorpe Suite, with its distinctive oak panelled partitions, and wood floor,
is a stunning space for large receptions or more intimate meetings; the Archway
room is ideal for micro-conferencing or board meetings, and the Greystone Room
overlooking the lake exudes tranquillity.
With dedicated reception areas, break out rooms, and a range of locations options
for dining and refreshments, the Courtyard flexibly caters for conferences, meetings,
receptions, dining, parties, product launches … all manner of events.
Events in the Courtyard are managed by digby trout Restaurants – with a range
of sumptuous menus for every occasion, and a professional team experienced in
delivering superby service for every event. Haerwood joins a select list of digby
trout historic venues including Hampton Court Palace, Edinburgh Castle, and Osborne
House.
And of course, corporate events in the Courtyard benefit from its location at
the heart of Harewood’s grounds, with the stunning sense of arrival through the
main Arch, and the opportunity to wrap in other elements of Harewood into your
event, from fine dining in the House, to a ride and drive in the grounds!
