Williams Experience Centre
The Williams Experience Centre is a venue that never fails to impress, located at the home of the Williams F1 Team in Grove, Oxfordshire.
Originally the base of BMW’s Le Mans project, the building was converted in 2002 and today stands as an award-winning conference centre, offering a modern and creative environment in which to meet, train, network and entertain.
With 10 flexible event rooms catering from two to 200 guests, the Williams Experience Centre offers full support in event planning and execution with in-house AV facilities, dedicated event managers and five-star catering and service.
The award-winning Williams Experience Centre offers a truly unique venue in which to celebrate with family and friends. We can accommodate intimate celebrations for up to 50 guests in the Trophy Room or larger gatherings up to 160 guests in our Drivers Suite.
While attending an event, guests have the opportunity to visit Sir Frank Williams’ private Grand Prix Collection. Housing more than 40 of the team’s seminal race cars, it is the largest private collection of Formula 1 cars in the world, charting the team’s 38 years of F1 history.
