Hello all

I need to find a small training venue (for 20 people, ideally a couple of rooms), with good outdoor space, on or accessible from rail routes nationally.

We do not need catering, it is not uber-expensive business venue.

We have used Universities, Outdoor Centres and Country Parks before.

I am thinking Birmingham-Manc-Leeds-Sheff-Notts area (big circle round The Peak)

Sports grounds?
We recently did an exhibition athe AJ Bell stadium, I´'m sure others will have conference space too.

RAF Cosford Museum has a conference facility or two and plenty of outdoor space and a train runs straight there.

We've used the Macron Stadium (ex Reebok) in Bolton before. Rooms can be split up and it worked well. Plenty of space round it. Station very close but would need to get a train from Manchester for example.
