Why exclusive use might be perfect for your next event

May 2025

 

When planning a conference, finding the right venue can make all the difference. At Christian Conference Trust, we understand that creating space for connection, worship, and growth requires more than just a meeting room. That’s why we can offer exclusive use of our three large Christian conference venues (terms apply).

Whether you’re planning a church weekend away, a leadership retreat, or a training event, exclusive use gives your group the freedom, flexibility, and focus needed to get the most out of your time together.

Here’s why exclusive use might be the perfect fit for your next gathering:

1. A space that’s entirely yours

When your group qualifies for exclusive use, you’ll have full access to the venue. That means a peaceful atmosphere where your team can truly unwind and connect. Each of our centres offers large meeting rooms, beautiful grounds, and a variety of public spaces such as lounges, coffee areas, and spaces to have fellowship – all reserved just for you.

2. Reduced minimum numbers: Now more accessible

For all new bookings, we’ve recently reduced the minimum number of attendees required to qualify for exclusive use, making it easier than ever for more churches and Christian organisations to benefit. As of now:

High Leigh: 168 minimum adults
The Hayes: 247 minimum adults
Highgate House: 82 minimum adults

So if your group size meets these new thresholds, exclusive use is now a real possibility.

3. All-inclusive experience

Our all-inclusive packages are designed to take the pressure off organisers. With accommodation, meeting spaces, AV equipment, and 3 hot meals-a-day included, you can focus on what really matters – building community and deepening faith. There’s no need to worry about unexpected extras; everything is taken care of, right down to unlimited tea and coffee! And, exclusive use enables our team to tailor meals to your group's unique requirements.

4. Designed for Christian groups

All three of our centres have been purpose-built with Christian groups in mind. From break-out rooms for prayer to communion facilities, every detail is designed to support your ministry goals. Our staff are experienced in working with churches and Christian charities, and we’re always happy to go the extra mile to make your stay impactful.
