  • Big Potato Games

    Our team at Big Potato Games had a fab summer party. Having the entire place to ourselves was a real treat. The bell tents were lovely – spacious, secluded, and perfectly situated so if you went to bed early you weren't disturbed.

    There was plenty of space to play outdoor games and chill. Even the toilet and shower facilities were good!

    Big thanks to the BB team for giving us such a memorable summer party. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.

  • Corporate Events

  • Active International

    We held our annual summer away day at Chalkney Water Meadows. It was fantastic! We had a festival theme with various activities throughout the day, a disco in the evening, and stayed in the bell tents. The team and staff couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The recommended suppliers were brilliant, too. The site is stunning. Everyone said it was the best summer party we’ve had! A huge thank you to the BB team.

  • Giffgaff

    Becky and the team at Browning Bros were fantastic to work with and showed a great can do attitude. We hired their venue for a private festival style company event and they went above and beyond (despite the 42' heatwave) to ensure the event ran smoothly and we were looked after. The site itself was great and we loved the water activities just as much as the luxury glamping.

  • Nicole & Sid’s Festival-Style Wedding

  • IBM

    We held a corporate strategy event for 140 people at Browning Bros, including an overnight stay. The support from the team was invaluable; they accommodated our ideas, suggested ways of making the event better, sourced excellent suppliers (food, team building and entertainment) and filled us with confidence. They really understood what we wanted to achieve. At the event itself everything ran to the minute, the BB team working hard behind the scenes. Feedback was unanimous - one of the best events they have ever attended, and far, far better than a standard off site day in a hotel.

  • INNTEL

    We are a local business and booked Chalkney Water Meadows to celebrate our 40th birthday with our people and their families at a festival-style party. Our experience was superb from start to finish. As event organisers, it was a breath of fresh air to work with a flexible venue that went out of its way to accommodate our many requests. The recommended suppliers were excellent, and we would book these again. All of our 250 guests raved about the venue! We had stormy July weather, however, the venue provided plenty of shelter, and had an excellent party at this beautiful venue. Highly recommend!
