The Orchard Barn

We are delighted with the transformation, which has taken place over the summer, of "The Orchard Barn" into a low key venue for Team Building. The room is painted in cream, with exposed beams and is decorated with old farm and countryside byegones and tools. We are pleased that we have had nothing but praise from those who have used it so far. Listed below are some comments received from the successful launch of the Hertfordshire Constabulary Rural Special Constables.

"The venue was first class and the Orchard Barn is a fantastic venue for holding a range of different meetings".

"A perfect venue for a host of business events".

We have hosted a number of units this year and currently the yard is busy with the team filming "Bulla - the Movie". After hosting the unit locations for the popular BBC spy series "Spooks" and the new prodution of Jane Austin's "Emma" last summer, we then provided a site for the unit base for "Cosi" starring Richard E Grant and Sarah Brightman and recently for "Any Human Heart" with Jim Broadbent and Kim Cattrall.
