Cumberland Lodge, in Windsor Great Park, is a 17th-century former royal residence run by an educational charity and hired for residential meetings, retreats, away days and weddings. It has meeting rooms for 8 to 100 people and about 60 en-suite bedrooms. Its wood-panelled dining rooms seat up to 90, and exclusive use of the Lodge is offered for wedding parties of 30 to 100.
Seminars and company events
The retreats and conferences page offers a private setting for small meetings, courses and away days. Meeting spaces include the Amy Buller Library and the adjoining Windsor Room, each with parkland views, and fully equipped seminar and board rooms in the Mews Conference Centre, including the Sandby and Hodgson rooms. The team-building page lists meeting rooms for 8 to 100 guests, breakout areas, a games room and outdoor seating.
The Lodge has long served executive teams and training providers, as well as university groups and professional bodies on study retreats. Its accommodation is intentionally low-tech, to keep delegates off their screens. It can refer organisers to team-building providers for indoor and outdoor activities. As a charity, it reinvests income from hire in its education programs.
Weddings and receptions
The Lodge takes wedding receptions and celebrations of all sizes, with exclusive use on selected dates. Flexible spaces include wood-panelled dining rooms with seating for up to 90 and a choice of reception rooms. The exclusive-use package covers the reception and ceremony rooms, the dining rooms and the grounds from noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, for parties of 30 to 100, and includes 20 bedrooms with breakfast. The Groom's House can be booked separately for the night before.
