Venue Hire

Hawkwood is a stunning Grade II listed 19th Century country house, surrounded by 42 acres of sustainably managed woodland, farmland and gardens. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house and grounds feature breathtaking views towards the River Severn and Wales.

It is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. We have hosted groups from The National Trust, The Soil Association, NHS and Trinity Music Exams. Our guests praise our delicious catering, friendly staff and ethical management, all of which make Hawkwood a truly special and unique place to host a course, meeting or event.
