Green Venue Hire

The Perfect Backdrop For Your Event

Set within four acres of landscaped naturalistic grounds that include an aromatic herb garden and a long lake with pontoon and boathouse and surrounded by the rolling chalk hills of the beautiful West Berkshire countryside, Sheepdrove is a venue like no other – sustainable, authentic, natural, modern but with a heart. Less than two hours from London yet situated high atop the North Wessex downs, Sheepdrove is both in the middle of nowhere but at the centre of southern England. A choice of unique rooms and diverse interior and exterior spaces deliver a flexible, versatile location that lends itself to all kinds of corporate and private events, including conferences, presentations, training days, product launches, exhibitions, private dining, vehicle demonstrations and much more. Eco-friendly onsite accommodation can be found in the form of a converted farm building, complete with a log burner.

Carbon Net Zero

Sheepdrove is harvesting heat from the earth with a ground source heat pump. A buried network of pipes captures this geothermal heat and uses it as renewable energy to power the central heating and cooling systems in our sustainable events venue. The whole system is powered by renewable electricity from our two wind turbines and 900 solar panels reducing on-site emissions to net zero.
