High Leigh Conference Centre specialises in residential and day conferences for up to 220 delegates. With 40 acres of lawns, parkland and woodland, the tranquil surroundings aid both concentration and relaxation for delegates.

With over 90 years of experience, we work hard to accommodate all requests to ensure that conference needs are met. Some organisations have used our venues for over 50 years. Each year, over 350 Christian, business, education and charity conferences are held at the Centre.

Over 90 years of Christian hospitality

The main part of the house was built in 1853. In 1871, Mr. Robert Barclay, a successful banker in the City of London and a committed Christian, bought the house. Robert Barclay died in 1921 and the house was sold to First Conference Estate of which he had been a director. First Conference Estate was founded in 1909 with the express purpose of providing affordable facilities for various missionary and other Christian societies.

How to find us

What our guests are saying

It has been upgraded recently and disabled access is even easier with automatic outer doors, a Stannah midi lift down to large hall which is easy and reliable. Staff very obliging and helpful.

Kim Weeks

Easily accessible from London & the Home counties, good conference facilities, excellent staff.

Paul Thompson

It's remote, away from the hustle and of the traffic. Accommodation good; loved the way that you get into your rooms. A card to just touch the lock and you are in. Great walks. Food excellent and staff very polite.
