The Shire Retreat, Exclusive Hire

About Venue

The Shire is a wellness-led events and offsite venue set within 150 acres of parkland, lakes, and woodland in the Northamptonshire countryside. Just an hour from London Euston, and equidistant from Milton Keynes and Northampton, it offers a true sense of escape without the travel.

We host company offsites, leadership retreats, workshops, strategy sessions, private dinners, and product events. Our spaces are recently restored and thoughtfully designed, ranging from a large open event room with a walled garden and terrace, to a boardroom set within a Georgian farmhouse, alongside multiple outdoor gathering spots.

We'd love to hear about what you're planning! As a small team we work really hard to respond to enquiries quickly and our Head of Events is on hand to have a call with you from the first stage to support you with bringing your event to life.

Exclusive Hire at The Shire gives you full access to the meeting room, event space, terrace and walled garden, sports field, swimming lake, sauna and cold plunge — along with 150 acres of private parkland and walking trails.

It’s a blank canvas countryside retreat close to Milton Keynes and Northampton, and just an hour from London, yet it feels like a genuine escape. You’ll have the space entirely to yourselves, with the freedom to shape the day around your needs.
