We had our work end of year party in the Pavilion and could not recommend the Orchard enough. The team was professional and on the ball, and there were many package options to suit. It was by far the best experience I've had with a venue.

Why The Orchard
Celebrate your conference offsiteat The Orchard
A conference offsite at The Orchard uses the whole precinct: plenary in the Pavilion with staging and screens, breakout sessions on the Alfresco 2 (orchard side) or in The Stables, and a walk along the Nepean between sessions. Lunch is under the vines, not in a hotel corridor.
Add an afternoon team activity on the lawns and finish with drinks in The Farmhouse.
