This show-stopping space brings together a historic motorhouse – complete with polished concrete floors and exposed brickwork – a contemporary stretch-tented courtyard, and sliding glazed doors that open onto private courtyard. The combination of raw industrial character and open natural space creates a canvas that feels genuinely special without feeling formal.
Floor-to-ceiling glass connects guests directly to the treeline, while the covered outdoor areas keep everyone comfortable in any weather. The two spaces flow seamlessly between each other, giving organisers full flexibility to programme across both.
Perfect For:
Fable Yard sits within a private Leicestershire estate, easily reached from the Midlands and beyond. The M1 and East Midlands Airport are both within minutes, making it straightforward for delegates travelling from across the country.
