Folly Farm Diary
RSSSustainable Futures Foundation conference
More and more local (and not-so-local) businesses are using the purpose-built conference suites at Folly Farm for day and residential meeting and training. Surrounded by the tranquility of the Folly Farm nature reserve, it’s a perfect place to focus and rediscover energy and inspiration.
The purpose-built conference suites offer state-of-the-art audio-visual and IT equipment, and the period farmhouse offers comfortable bedrooms and 10 self-catering studios are also available.
“We chose Folly Farm as the venue for our annual meeting to reflect on our future role as an organisation.. The location, the atmosphere and natural surroundings all contributed to a highly successful evening and day. The flexibility and positive, supportive nature of all the staff involved at Folly Farm were also huge contributing factors and the variety of “spaces” available, the environmentally-sound management practices and the quality of the accommodation are first rate. We had a lot of fun and relaxation around the hard work. I cannot imagine achieving what we did at any other venue. We’ll be back!”
Gwyn Jones, Sustainable Futures Foundation
