Weddings, meetings, conferences, private dinners and parties for up to 150 guests can be organised at The Frogmill, a 16th-century inn at Shipton Oliffe, near Andoversford in the Cotswolds. The house combines four event rooms, a restaurant and 28 bedrooms, and can be booked for exclusive use.
Seminars and company events
The Frogmill takes meetings, conferences and corporate events. The Mill Room, the largest space, holds up to 150 people for a conference, a team day or a company dinner. The Snug takes 50, which suits a workshop or a smaller meeting, and The Alcove takes 20 for a breakout group. The Private Dining Room seats 8, enough for a board dinner. The site offers 360-degree tours of each room and set menus for groups, and bedrooms on site make a two-day program simple to run.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a main part of the offer, and the inn holds wedding open days for couples. The Mill Room takes the main celebration, while The Snug or The Alcove can host the evening drinks or a quieter area. For the largest gatherings, the full venue can be booked; the site lists it for 600 or more, a figure to confirm with the team. Parties, anniversaries and celebrations of life are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
The Mill Room takes 150 people. The Snug takes 50. The Alcove takes 20. The Private Dining Room takes 8. Exclusive use of the whole venue is available. The site gives one capacity per room and no breakdown by layout, so ask for seated and standing figures for your format.
Accommodation
The Frogmill has 28 bedrooms on site, described as boutique rooms. That covers a management team on a residential meeting or most of the close guests at a wedding, with breakfast served daily from 8 a.m.
Catering
The kitchen cooks British dishes from seasonal, locally sourced produce. Lunch and dinner are served most days, and afternoon tea is available by booking. For events, the team offers set menus written for each group. The inn also runs a weekly curry and quiz night.
History and setting
The building is a 16th-century inn and an award-winning pub in the countryside east of Cheltenham. The surrounding Cotswold hills give room for walks between sessions, and the village setting keeps groups away from city noise.
Getting there
The address is Shipton Oliffe, Andoversford, GL54 4HT. Cheltenham is about 15 minutes by car, and Cheltenham Spa station has direct trains to Birmingham, Bristol and London. The A40 passes the village, toward Oxford to the east. Birmingham and Bristol airports are about an hour away by road.
