The Loyd Lindsay Rooms is a village venue on the High Street in Ardington, near Wantage in Oxfordshire, used for training days, away days, meetings and private celebrations for up to 135 guests in total. It has three rooms that can be hired separately or together on an exclusive basis, with parking on site and a step-free entrance.
Seminars and company events
The Main Hall is the room for larger meetings, training sessions and presentations. In theatre style it takes up to 120 guests, and the venue gives an AGM with more than 100 delegates as an example. It has a projector and sound system, and whiteboards and flip charts are available across the building. Layouts are flexible, so a workshop, a classroom or a boardroom-style session can be set up.
The Conference Room is a private space for smaller meetings, workshops and boardroom-style training. It also works as an interview room or a breakout room. The Dining Room is quieter and described as full of natural light, which suits breakout sessions, team meetings and informal workshops. It has an enclosed courtyard that can serve as extra breakout space.
For a full day, exclusive hire gives sole use of all three rooms and the facilities, with a single point of contact for all enquiries.
Weddings and receptions
The Main Hall has ten round wedding tables and room for a dance floor or a stage, so it can host a reception. The venue also lists anniversaries, birthday celebrations, large family gatherings, charity events, baby showers and funeral receptions. The Dining Room suits smaller dining occasions.
