Dorney Lake is a distinctive and inspirational venue set within 400 acres of picturesque countryside, conveniently located near Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead, with easy access from the M4 corridor and less than an hour from Central London.

Set alongside the iconic world-class rowing lake that hosted the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events, the venue combines striking lakeside views with contemporary, flexible indoor spaces, making it ideal for conferences, team-building events and corporate away days.

With a rich sporting heritage and a stunning natural setting, Dorney Lake offers far more than conventional conference facilities. Delegates benefit from a calm, focused and inspiring environment, enhanced by panoramic views across the water. This unique backdrop naturally encourages creativity, collaboration and engagement. The bright and modern interiors are designed to be highly flexible, thus accommodating a wide range of corporate requirements from presentations and training sessions to breakout discussions, networking and private dining.

The principal venue is the Lake & River View Room. An impressive setting for events of up to 200 delegates and benefiting from floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to lakeside balconies. This space is filled with natural light and offers scenic views across the water. Equipped with in-built AV and a fully stocked bar, the room’s generous proportions also allow for full partitioning when required. This makes it a modern, versatile environment suitable for a wide range of event formats.

Located just off the Lake & River View Room, the Thames Rooms are ideal for syndicate sessions, smaller workshops or parallel discussions. These rooms can also be partitioned to suit different group sizes or requirements. This layout allows events to flow seamlessly between plenary sessions and focused breakout activity, without compromising the impact of the main conference space. Additional breakout areas including the Arboretum Room provide further flexibility for smaller groups or secure discussions within the same building.

For more intimate or exclusive meetings of up to 25 delegates, the Olympic Suite provides a self-contained environment that fosters focus, discretion, and privacy. Boasting its own private parking and having been originally designed as the Olympic finishing tower, the suite features large windows with views overlooking the lake. This makes it particularly well suited to organisations with sensitive or confidential requirements, such as pharmaceutical companies and law firms.

Complementing its outstanding facilities, Dorney Lake offers a comprehensive range of meeting packages, including AV equipment, dedicated event Wi-Fi, locally sourced and seasonal catering, plus complimentary parking. The venue also works closely and collaborates with in-house and specialist team-building partners to create unique corporate days out which offer bespoke activities on both water and land.

Whether hosting a team building away day, a product launch, conference or workshop, Dorney Lake’s blend of natural beauty, flexibility and world-class facilities makes it a compelling choice for organisations looking to inspire and engage their teams.
