Farington Lodge

Tucked away in the Lancashire countryside yet easily reached from the M6, M61 and M65, Farington Lodge is a peaceful and characterful Georgian country house. With elegant interiors, mature gardens and a calm, secluded setting, this Grade II listed venue is ideal for company away days, conferences and leadership retreats. Just minutes from Preston and within easy reach of the Lake District, it offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil rural atmosphere with excellent transport links for your team.

Inspiring meetings in a countryside setting

Farington Lodge offers seven flexible meeting spaces, each filled with natural light and tailored for productivity. The Jubilee Suite is the largest, hosting up to 180 guests theatre-style and featuring its own entrance, breakout syndicate room, and reception area. French doors open onto a private terrace with views across the gardens, making this room ideal for indoor or outdoor team building activities.

Four additional ground-floor rooms, the Balmoral, Royal, Victoria and Windsor are equally bright and well-appointed. Suitable for everything from board meetings to team workshops or private dinners, they accommodate between 14 and 60 guests. Whether you're planning a strategy day or multi-room training, Farington’s layout makes it keep your team focused and engaged.

Georgian charm for Lancashire events

With 27 bedrooms split between the original house and a contemporary extension, Farington Lodge offers a peaceful overnight stay for teams travelling from across the UK. The nine main house rooms retain the elegance of the Georgian building and have been recently refreshed, while the 18 executive rooms provide more space, underfloor heating, and modern features.

The Garden Restaurant is a highlight for dining, with an à la carte menu that celebrates local, seasonal produce. Set beneath ornate plasterwork and beside a traditional fireplace, the restaurant offers a relaxed yet refined setting for team dinners or informal networking after a day of meetings.

Space to think, connect and reset

From focused boardroom sessions to full-company conferences, Farington Lodge provides the right mix of calm, space and service to make your team event run smoothly. Speak to our friendly events team to start planning a productive, relaxed and memorable experience.
