Swinton Park - the castle hotel, spa, cookery school and events venue in North Yorkshire - has opened Lake Island, a Georgian-styled, secluded summerhouse designed for brainstorming sessions for smaller groups. Lake Island is situated on one of the five lakes to be found on the 20,000-acre Swinton Park estate.

Swinton Park is promoting Lake Island as a venue for ‘blue sky thinking’. Bean bags can be arranged for an informal meeting with blankets and an outside fire pit available when the days draw in. Lake Island is available for hire by the day or half day.

Swinton Park itself has event space for up to 120 delegates plus 32 luxury bedrooms with free wi-fi and free parking. Swinton Park is located just north of Ripon in North Yorkshire.
