Team away days, leadership retreats, company celebrations and outdoor weddings can be held here, with overnight capacity for up to 300 guests and Christmas parties for up to 200. The venue is Bell Tent Village Parks, a glamping and events village in West Bridgford, about 10 minutes from the center of Nottingham.
Seminars and company events
The village is designed for outdoor group formats rather than conference rooms. Companies book it for away days, leadership retreats, overnight team experiences and company celebrations. The enquiry form covers groups from under 20 to more than 300 people, so it works for a small management team as well as a whole department.
In winter, the venue runs a Christmas work party format for up to 200 guests. The main party runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with optional team games from 3 p.m., such as a Christmas quiz, a murder mystery, puzzles and scavenger-style challenges. A host can be booked to run the games. A silent disco can extend the evening until midnight, and early check-in can be added for groups who stay the night.
Weddings and receptions
Outdoor weddings are offered, combining the celebration with on-site accommodation and communal spaces, so guests can stay overnight instead of traveling home. The site also hosts hen and stag weekends and other private celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The event spaces are tents rather than rooms. The Stretch Tent is the heated main party area. The Bell Tent Snug is a quieter space with seating and soft lighting, and the Christmas Lounge adds sofas for a calmer break away from the music. Fire pits and festive lighting run through the village. Beyond the tents, groups can use the communal areas, lakes and activity spaces of the wider site.
Accommodation
Guests sleep in bell tents and lodges, including the Blossom Bell Tent Stay and the Dream Lodge. The site states an overnight capacity of up to 300 guests but does not publish the number of tents or lodges, so the sleeping plan is set with the team for each group.
Catering
Food and drink are part of the event offer, with festive food, drinks and Christmas treats for the winter parties. The website does not name a caterer or list group menus, so the menu is agreed when booking.
History and setting
The village works in partnership with Holme Pierrepont Country Park and Rushcliffe Borough Council, and the wider site covers 270 acres of outdoor, adventure and wellness space. Watersports, wellness sessions and lakes are part of the setting, which gives a team day options beyond the party itself.
Getting there
West Bridgford lies just south of Nottingham, across the River Trent, and the site is about 10 minutes from the city center. Nottingham railway station is the nearest main-line stop, with a short road transfer to the village.
