Family and Away Days
Are you are looking for something to really make your event stand out? Our activities can be tailored to suit adults or children, your event timings and even the theme of your day.
Our venues include:
Geddes/Gillespie Rooms, Maximum 110 delegates
![]() |
Our Geddes and Gillespie Rooms can be joined together to make one large L shaped function suite that is ideal for family and away days. The two rooms combine to become one magnificent oak panelled room with views across the park and direct access to our gardens. We offer a range of BBQ options that are ideal for these rooms because if it is a nice day we can hold it outside and if not it can easily be moved inside. If younger children are present the can play in the gardens while the adults do the serious work inside. |
Budungo Lecture Theatre, Maximum 180 delegates
![]() |
Do you want to leave your guests talking about your event all year round? With a great view of the most popular chimp enclosure our Budungo Lecture Theatre can hold up to 170 delegates theatre style or 200 reception style. Or, if would rather we can hold up to 100 cabaret style. The room has a fully integrated AV system which you are welcome to use free of charge. Two of the walls look directly into the enclosure so any event held there will amaze your delegates, impress their children and leave everyone with a sense of something really special. |
We also offer a wide range of activities and team building exercises that would be perfect for all your colleagues and their family.
