Private Events at Ditchley Park
When not being used by the Foundation, Ditchley Park hosts selected events for other organisations who share our ethos and mission on an exclusive-use basis.
With a unique ethos and atmosphere harnessing the power of tradition and technology, the Mansion House is particularly suitable for board retreats and strategic convenings, centred on our historic library.
The Mansion House at Ditchley Park is set in complete seclusion and privacy within a four-thousand acre farming estate, yet only 1.5 hours from central London.
Ditchley is a home, albeit on a grand scale, which retains its country house traditions rather than a hotel. Its unique quality comes from its tranquil atmosphere, the beautiful rural setting, its extraordinary history, and its contemporary purpose as the home of The Ditchley Foundation.
With 30 bedrooms, a series of state and meeting rooms and the library which is home to 'The Bridge', essentially a secure live TV studio allowing seamless integration for either input into conversations or to enable those convening to brief or broadcast to external participants and audiences.
“Disguised as a comfortable country house, this is one of the globe's best-connected spaces for discussion of the world's most pressing social and political issues, aided by HD cameras, fibre-optic cabling, and seamless high-speed connectivity. To find it, of all places, in a gracious Palladian mansion in the green depths of the Oxfordshire countryside is, like the work of the Foundation for whom this is home, surprisingly fitting. For more than four hundred years, Ditchley has engendered the most extraordinary connections and hosted some quite remarkable meetings.”
