Wickham House in West Berkshire has just opened its doors for business events. Wickham House is a Grade II-listed Georgian house at the heart of a 52-acre estate and it will only be available for exclusive hire. Facilities available include the Barn, the Pavilion and part of the main house.

The Barn is a boardroom style meeting room for up to 24 delegates. The Pavilion, built in the style of a Mediterranean villa with the swimming pool on one side and the tennis court on the other, will seat 12 people. In the main house the dining room and adjoining drawing room will cater for up to 16 guests. There is a marquee site in front of the house for up to 400 guests.

Privacy and discretion will be the order of the day at Wickham House with the owners aiming to create a discreet outpost for closing deals, directors’ meetings and strategy sessions - ‘a space away from city speculation’.

Wickham House is accessible in an hour from London via the M4. It is fifty miles from Heathrow and five miles from Newbury station.
