Ferme de Rosembois in Fournes-en-Weppes hosts company seminars, training days, team building and small private events for up to 60 people. The venue is a renovated agricultural barn of 100 m², on a working family farm 15 minutes from Lille, with three gîtes and three guest rooms on the property.
Seminars and company events
The seminar room is a former barn, renovated with raw brick and ironwork. It is an open, bright space of 100 m² that can be reconfigured. The official site gives three formats: 35 people in a meeting layout, 50 in plenary, and 60 at a cocktail. The room accepts groups from one to 60 people.
Equipment includes Wi-Fi, a 165 cm projection screen, a paperboard and a chalkboard, reversible air conditioning, an equipped kitchen, a bar and a lounge corner. A terrace looks onto the park, and there is private parking and step-free access. Table tennis and table football are available for breaks and afterwork sessions.
The farm offers tailored activities on request: thematic workshops and collaborative nature activities around the vegetable garden, the orchard and the pond. The grounds cover 2 hectares of trees, and the farm owns three more hectares of meadows.
Weddings and receptions
The same room hosts private events. The official site mentions small family gatherings such as an intimate wedding, a birthday, a baptism or a communion, or a long table for close relatives. The stated limit is 60 people, so the room suits a small wedding reception rather than a large one.
Rooms and capacities
The barn room is the only event space. It measures 100 m² and takes 35 people in meeting layout, 50 in plenary and 60 at a cocktail. The farm also offers three gîtes, three guest rooms and a host table for meals.
Accommodation
The farm has three fully equipped gîtes, described as apartments, and three guest rooms. The site does not give the number of beds, so ask for the total before planning a residential seminar. The guest rooms have run since 1991, when the family opened one of the first farm tourism activities in the region.
Catering
The room is open to any caterer. The farm has an equipped kitchen for your provider. Meals can also be taken at the host table, which serves regional dishes such as Flemish carbonnade, maroilles tart and chicory cream, prepared by one of the owners.
History and setting
The farm is in the Weppes area south of Lille and remains active. Its owners are turning it into a refuge for biodiversity: native trees, protected areas, permaculture vegetable growing, an orchard, a large pond and animals on the surrounding meadows.
Getting there
The farm is on the edge of Fournes-en-Weppes, about 15 minutes from Lille. The site gives GPS coordinates and suggests searching for Ferme de Rosembois, not Chemin de Rosembois, since the two are different roads.
