The changing landscape of business spaces
The way professionals meet is transforming:
Bleisure travel (business + leisure) is up 40 % year-on-year.
Corporate wellbeing budgets are shifting toward nature-rich, design-led venues.
Teams want experiences, not just event rooms.
Hartham Park captures this evolution - combining heritage charm with purpose-built functionality.
Arrival and first Impressions
From the moment you turn into the long, tree-lined approach, the estate sets a different rhythm. Georgian symmetry meets modern energy.
I wandered the grounds for a little while before entering to soak up the atmosphere. There was a team event going on at the same time of my visit so even though there are spaces to be quiet, there is still a buzz about the place that entrepreneurs and business leaders want to be surrounded by.
Spaces designed for modern work
Each room is crafted to balance productivity and atmosphere:
Boardrooms and suites: Modern AV tech, flexible layouts, heritage detailing.
Creative lounges: Relaxed zones for brainstorming or private calls.
Outdoor breakouts: Garden seating areas perfect for reflective discussion.
I loved the rooms and especially the bar area which have grand views of the gardens - it gives you time to pause and reflect with nature whilst you work or connect with colleagues.
Wellbeing meets performance
Science backs it: access to nature enhances focus and decision-making. Hartham Park weaves that principle through its design. Stroll through landscaped lawns, pause by the pond, or enjoy a mindful meal at The Forge.
Having run several businesses myself it is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but being surrounded by grand halls and amazing grounds filled with greenery and wildlife really does wonders to reset you.
The Forge - culinary connection
Every good conversation deserves a table. The Forge restaurant sources locally and serves great food - the perfect extension of Hartham Park’s ethos of quality over quantity.
Beyond business: events and weddings
Hartham Park seamlessly hosts business events, offices and and co-working space as well as events, private celebrations and it would be a great choice for intimate weddings. It’s a space where strategy sessions turn into lifelong memories.
Location and accessibility
Corsham sits between Bath and Bristol, with Chippenham Station nearby.
Trains from London Paddington take around 1 hour 10 minutes, and the M4 corridor provides simple road links.
Final thoughts
Hartham Park isn’t just a venue - it’s an environment. A place where leaders pause, ideas breathe, and wellbeing sits naturally beside productivity.
