We are proud to partner with these exceptional venues, each with a strong focus on sustainability. Make your next event more environmentally friendly by choosing one of the sustainable venues featured here.


Down Hall Hotel and Spa

Down Hall Hotel and Spa is a venue where history, luxury, and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience. Set within 110 acres of woodland, parkland, and landscaped gardens on the Hertfordshire and Essex border, Down Hall offers a peaceful retreat just 45 minutes from central London.

The team at Down Hall is on a mission to become even more sustainable, with ambitious objectives they continue to work towards throughout the year. In recognition of the progress achieved so far, Down Hall has been awarded the ECOsmart Silver Award.

Sustainability at Down Hall takes many forms, including the installation of electric vehicle chargers, locally sourcing ingredients, a zero-to-landfill policy, and the introduction of beehives across the estate to support biodiversity.

This year also sees the launch of EVENTsmart, a platform that enables organisers to monitor the carbon footprint of their event and explore opportunities to offset it, further supporting more responsible and informed event planning.


Stoke Place

Set within 26 acres of landscaped parkland, Stoke Place is an impeccable four-star, 17th-century Queen Anne mansion located just 30 minutes from London. Combining elegant bedrooms, inspiring suites, and flexible event spaces, this impressive venue offers everything needed to ensure your sustainable event is a success.

Sustainability sits at the heart of Stoke Place’s ethos, guiding every aspect of the corporate experience while supporting the wellbeing of visitors, employees, and the surrounding community.

This commitment is reflected in thoughtful initiatives designed to make a positive and lasting impact. Community engagement plays an important role, with Blue Light and Segro Card holders offered discounts, and Afternoon Tea vouchers regularly donated to support local school fundraisers. The beautifully maintained gardens and grounds are also open to the public, featuring a private lake and providing a haven for a diverse
range of wildlife and ecosystems.

Stoke Place’s ongoing sustainability journey offers organisers the flexibility and freedom to meet in a way that aligns with their values, while contributing to a greener future for all.


The Wesley Euston Hotel

Set in a fantastic London location, The Wesley Euston Hotel offers the perfect business base with more than 20 flexible meeting rooms, including spaces for private dining. All rooms are equipped with AV technology, including projectors and large monitors, alongside high-speed Wi-Fi.

Whether hosting a business meeting, networking event, working lunch or celebration dinner, the venue combines functionality with thoughtful service.

What sets The Wesley apart is its people-first approach. This hotel believes that the hospitality industry’s
greatest renewable resource is its workforce, and that investing in people is the most sustainable strategy of
all. This philosophy has recently been recognised with the Investors in People Gold Award, a reflection of a culture built on inclusiveness, integrity and stewardship.

Internal promotion, mentoring and structured career development are embedded into daily operations. From receptionists to chefs, team members are supported to grow, thrive and build long-term careers. At The Wesley Euston, sustainability is not only about reducing impact, but about nurturing the people who make hospitality truly sustainable.


Wyboston Lakes

Wyboston Lakes is home to two standout meeting and event venues, The Willows Training Centre and The Woodlands Event Centre. Both have been thoughtfully designed to support learning, collaboration and memorable delegate experiences, while placing sustainability firmly at the heart of operations.

Sustainability is a key pillar at Wyboston Lakes. Recently, they have earned the TRACE badge, demonstrating their commitment to measuring Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions using TRACE by isla, a carbon measurement platform for events. By prioritising accurate data and working closely with its supply chain, Wyboston Lakes is generating credible insights that help shape carbon reduction strategies and drive meaningful change across the events industry.

Further supporting this ethos is the on‑site Paddy & Scott’s coffee house, part of a long-standing partnership. Coffee is sourced directly from the brand’s own farm in Kenya and produced using low CO₂ facilities, while drinks are served in compostable cups with corn starch lids and recyclable packaging.

Combining inspiring spaces, advanced technology and a genuine commitment to sustainability, Wyboston Lakes sets a compelling benchmark for responsible, future-focused events.
