About Venue

Rothamsted Enterprises in Harpenden (Hertfordshire) consists of two outstanding conference and event venues.

Our sustainably built, BREEAM accredited Conference Centre sits just minutes away from our recently renovated, Grade 1 listed Manor House and Gardens - Rothamsted Enterprises can offer you an unparalleled combination of the old and the new for your next meeting.

We have a range of conferencing and meeting room facilities across both our venues:
• A tiered 300 seat auditorium for formal conferences and musical performances, with high-spec audio visual and media streaming capabilities
• A large galleried area for exhibitions and displays that can also
serve as an auditorium to seat up to 200
• An internal plaza where delegates can enjoy refreshments and networking
• Six break-out seminar rooms to accommodate 10 – 80 people, ideal for sessions in boardroom, cabaret or theatre styles
• A fully-equipped press room with high speed Wi-Fi and advanced media facilities
• Stunning 17th century surroundings across four rooms in our Manor House
• Free conference centre car park and wi-fi access

Rothamsted is uniquely situated to host a range of events. We are just 10 minutes from central St Albans and 10 minutes from London Luton International Airport and 25 minutes from London St. Pancras International. Our professional service means we can accommodate most needs.

Rothamsted Manor is a Grade 1 listed building and therefore has conduct rules and heritage guidelines which must be adhered to. A full copy of our guidelines is available from the team upon request. Failure to abide by these terms may lead to a fine and/or termination of your event with immediate effect. Rothamsted Conference Centre: Unavailable for private events. Please enquire about Rothamsted Manor for private events and weddings.

The Library is a more recent addition to the Manor, added in around 1900 by Sir John Lawes son, Charles. The bookshelves are concealed but the highly decorative fireplace, originating from 1622 provides a perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony in the Library, with capacity for up to 40 seated, or one of several rooms licensed for Civil Ceremonies at the Manor.

    Great venue. Lovely spacious and comfortable auditorium. We went on a big walk around the campus on lunch break which was lovely and invigorating. Only small complaint was the ladies toilets had a hideous smell all day. I'm sure there were no toilet checks done.
