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".
