The Ammerdown Centre

The Ammerdown Centre is a peaceful conference and meeting venue in the Somerset countryside, welcoming organisers looking for a calm, well-equipped setting away from busy commercial districts. Located at Ammerdown Park near Radstock, the centre is within easy reach of Bath and Bristol, making it suitable for meetings, training days, retreats, workshops, away days and residential group programmes.

The venue offers four dedicated meeting rooms, with capacities ranging from 15 to 80 people. Rooms can be arranged in theatre, boardroom, classroom, U-shape, circle and café layouts, allowing organisers to tailor the space to different types of sessions. Audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi, hearing loops and accessible facilities support presentations, discussions and collaborative work. The largest rooms benefit from natural light and views towards the gardens, while smaller spaces provide a quieter environment for intimate meetings or focused group work.

For residential events, the centre has 40 ensuite bedrooms accommodating up to 68 guests. Organisers can also make use of communal areas including a lounge, licensed bar, dining room, library, television room, chapel and secluded gardens. Homemade meals and refreshments are prepared using fresh, local ingredients, with dietary requirements taken into consideration.

Ample free parking, wheelchair-accessible ground-floor facilities, adapted bedrooms and accessible conference rooms make the centre practical for a wide range of groups. Its peaceful surroundings and emphasis on hospitality, reflection, learning and dialogue create a distinctive atmosphere for organisations, charities, educational groups, businesses, faith communities and wellbeing providers planning a productive gathering in Somerset.
