About this space

The Glasshouse sits within the Ashdown Forest. The space takes its design cue from a traditional greenhouse, with plenty of natural light.

It holds up to 100 guests standing or 50 seated. It's used for lectures, meetings, workshops, strategy days, and team celebrations.

As an eco-conscious centre, it's also a fit for companies focused on ESG values — sustainability is built into the venue.
