Outdoor Spaces


Exterior at Lancaster University Conferences and Events+ Forrest Hills venue

Here at Lancaster University, we are lucky to have some amazing outdoor spaces for you to host your event. Meeting outdoors can re-energise your team. Natural daylight is a perfect way to boost delegate productivity. Set in 560 acres of parkland we have the luxury of large spaces to be creative with.

Forrest Hills offers a unique space, service and a peaceful setting. On all three counts, Forrest Hills excels. It’s an award-winning facility that offers the complete package for everything from corporate events such as; business meetings, team building activities and strategic planning away days. Event organisers can use this space for team building games and activities to encourage working together. Most importantly our outdoor space can be used for fun during your event, either as a main session or to re-energise during breaks and at lunchtime. A popular team building event we offer is the ‘Chefs Culinary Challenge’.

Launching in April 2021 we will be offering delegates the ‘Bugs and Beasties’ package which will be the ideal for those looking to add some light-hearted fun to the day! Take part in a special quiz to collect stars for your team and win prizes or by daring and try our grub tucker bitesize buffet plus lots more.

The grounds at Forrest Hills are perfect for relaxation, and the main building itself is full of natural wood and stone and crammed with character: this is no grey, corporate space, but a beautiful venue designed to blend with its outdoor space. It boasts wonderful surroundings, with a lakeside setting at the edge of the Forest of Bowland. Forrest Hills offers a lush, leafy and scenic setting for a range of events. Give your delegates the chance to rest and take in what they have learnt in beautiful surroundings.
