Award Winner, Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa, Berkshire: Event Space of the Year

Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa is a gem of a retreat with resort facilities surrounded by stunning parkland in the heart of Royal Berkshire. With a luxurious spa and health club, 18-hole golf course and a AA Rosette (two-time winning) prestigious restaurant, it is easy to see why it is loved so.

But what really stands out for this independent hotel is the Post Barn, an English oak barn where trailblazing technology meets contemporary architecture. It’s a space for all things weddings, team building, conferences or just private functions, but above all it’s the perfect space to come together, innovate, and be inspired.

Accommodating up to 150 delegates, the Post Barn sets the stage for unforgettable events. Its floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light, while underfloor heating and a cosy log fire keep the atmosphere warm and inviting. For summer gatherings, their state of the art cooling system keeps guests comfortable during warmer months. Beyond the essentials of a luxury venue, the Post Barn elevates the experience with an impressive sound system and versatile breakout areas, including a stylish bar and an airy mezzanine.

Speaking of Summer gatherings, at the Post Barn you can find The OutPost, al fresco dining for all occasions with a rotisserie, BBQ, pizza oven and fully equipped kitchen. With the hotel boasting two AA Rosette awards for their dining, it’s safe to say their delicious food would motivate any team member.

While the Post Barn serves as a standout venue for gatherings, Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa offers a complete array of meeting and event spaces tailored to diverse business needs. With seven additional meeting spaces, as well as a range of accommodation options including Contemporary Classic rooms, Executive rooms, and spacious Suites, the hotel provides an inspiring setting for conferences, corporate retreats, and team-building activities.

Complemented by a luxurious spa, health club, restaurant, and one of the most challenging 18-hole golf courses in Berkshire, Donnington Valley ensures that every aspect of a visit is marked by excellence, making it a clear winner for business outings of all kinds.
