Charney Manor

Charney Manor is a historic conference and retreat venue in the Oxfordshire countryside, providing a peaceful setting for organisations, charities, companies and groups planning focused gatherings. The thirteenth-century manor combines characterful surroundings with practical facilities for meetings, workshops, seminars, training days, residential conferences and reflective retreats.

Organisers can choose between day conference bookings and multi-day residential stays. The venue offers two principal meeting rooms, supported by smaller rooms suitable for breakout sessions, private discussions and intimate workshops. Seating layouts can be adapted to suit different formats, while Wi-Fi, presentation equipment, projection facilities, flipcharts, parking and electric vehicle charging support the practical needs of delegates.

Day conference packages bring together room hire, refreshments, lunch, equipment and on-site support, helping organisers plan a straightforward meeting day. For longer programmes, Charney Manor provides bedrooms for groups of up to 35 guests, with additional capacity available in Gillett’s Cottage. Meals can be arranged for groups, making the venue suitable for residential retreats, leadership gatherings, away days and training programmes.

The three-acre grounds add space for quiet breaks, informal conversations and outdoor reflection. Guests can enjoy lawns, mature trees, gardens, an orchard and countryside walks, while the nearby village pub offers an additional option for meals and drinks. With its calm atmosphere, flexible meeting spaces, accommodation and tailored catering, Charney Manor is well suited to organisers seeking a distinctive venue for productive, restorative or community-focused events near Oxford and Wantage.
