Maximum Impact ……

As well as our own on site management team we also have a network of tried and trusted suppliers who will aid us to ensure that your needs are efficiently and effectively met.

We would add that The Woodland Hall is not just a conference or seminar space. But is adaptable to and suitable for a wide range of events or activities, from an art workshop to yoga class for example, or for exhibitions, craft activities, educational events, and even musical soirees! The Green Wood Hall also easily serves as a beautiful location to celebrate other special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries etc.

Minimum Impact….

On the Environment!

Modern building products can seem simple and easy to use, but often have a high environmental impact due to the way in which their raw materials are quarried, transported and manufactured; the by-products of these processes can create large volumes of industrial waste, often toxic.

The Green Wood Centre was constructed using only materials that are non-toxic and local products to minimize the environmental impact. The Centre has a high level of renewable energy efficiency.

The Woodland Hall, The Green Wood Centre’s own eco friendly conference and event space, demonstrates that buildings can be constructed using “green” techniques, and is a totally green conference centre, an environmentally friendly (or eco friendly) venue, - a genuinely sustainable building which demonstrates that we can function, work and thrive as a species whilst reducing our impact on the environment that we live in and share.

Certainly, at the Green Wood Centre you will find our conference buffets a far cry from standard commercially produced fare. Everything on our menu is vegetarian and hand-made by us on site and as a result is fresh, nourishing, seasonal, interesting and delicious! In keeping with our own ethical code and principles, we have adopted a policy of ethical sourcing regarding the cuisine we offer, using and promoting a balance of high quality local, organic and fair trade produce.
