Leave the ordinary conference suite behind. Fable Yard offers something the ordinary venue never can: genuine history underfoot, open skies above, and the kind of atmosphere that makes people think differently.
Exposed brick and corrugated metal sit alongside a stretch-tented courtyard and views into private woodland – a setting where industrial edge and natural beauty inspire courage and creativity. Whether you’re launching a product, rallying a team, or celebrating a milestone, this is where events gain real meaning.

Style: Industrial chic meets woodland seclusion
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.
More Spaces on the Estate
Fable Yard is one of five distinctive venues set within the 15-acre Whatton House estate. If your event calls for multiple rooms, varied environments, or a natural flow between spaces, the estate can accommodate it. Giant tipis, woodland glades, formal house rooms and terrace spaces can all be combined with Fable Yard to create a full estate-wide experience.
