The Niland Conference Centre

The Niland Conference Centre is a peaceful meeting and conference venue in Bushey Heath, near Watford, offering flexible spaces for organisers planning professional, educational, community and faith-based events. Set within the grounds of Rosary Priory, the centre combines practical facilities with a calm countryside setting that suits focused meetings, reflection days and away-from-the-office gatherings.

The main Conference Room accommodates approximately 25 to 125 people and can be arranged in theatre, boardroom or cabaret layouts. It includes a ceiling-mounted screen and projector, PA system, loop system, laptop access, tables and under-floor heating. For smaller groups, the Newcastle Room is suitable for around 10 to 24 participants and can be configured for board meetings, informal discussions, workshops or training sessions. The adjacent Siena Room can provide an additional breakout space, while the Newcastle and Lima Rooms can be combined for groups of up to 60 people.

The Lima Room is particularly useful for refreshments, meals, breakout sessions and boardroom meetings, with convenient access to the kitchen. WiFi is available throughout the centre, and tea, coffee and other refreshments are included with bookings. External caterers may be arranged when required.

Organisers can hire individual rooms or book the entire centre for meetings, conferences, exhibitions, presentations, pastoral events, school activities, in-service training, retreats and reflection days. Sole hire provides access to all four rooms, kitchen facilities, presentation equipment and a tranquil garden area. The building is wheelchair accessible, with parking available nearby and additional spaces in the surrounding priory grounds.
