Old Down Estate
Investing in people doesn’t just mean financially. Investing in time improves relationships, builds strong business foundations and increases productivity.
For corporate entertaining, staff parties, team building or off-site meetings, our recently restored and fully equipped Manor House offers flexible choices for ‘time out’ which will impress and inspire staff and clients alike. From catered events for up to 120 guests, to hosting small, intimate working groups, to running outdoor activities in 66 acres of parklands, this stunning environment will meet your individual business needs and exceed your expectations. The Manor at Old Down Estate enjoyed a £6million modernisation in 2011 to lavishly restore its Victorian elegance and charm whilst equipping it with all the state-of-the-art technology which makes it a premium and practical choice for all business requirements. The versatile space allows us the flexibility to create an event to best fit your needs, your budget and your goals. The Manor can be booked exclusively or by room and for day use or overnight stays.
