Farm shows new facilities at open day

An East Devon conference and training venue has formed a partnership with a local outdoor pursuits company to boost the facilities it offers to its clients.

Colliton Barton, a farm-based venue on the outskirts of Broadhembury between Honiton and Cullompton, is developing its services and has brought in outside activity experts the Outside Adventure Consultants Ltd.

And the public will have a chance to try out the new activities at an open day on September 17.

Lucy Trevelyan, Events’ Co-ordinator, said: ‘We have a great venue here, which, being based on a working dairy and poultry farm is ideal for agricultural and rural skills training courses and the conferences we currently hold. But we wanted to be able to offer people that something extra.

‘With our new ‘away days’ we offer companies just that, a real chance to get away from the office, try their hands at some new pursuits, whether that is archery, clay pigeon shooting or many of the other things we will have on offer. It is great to be able to link up with an experienced company like the Outside Adventure Consultants to do this.

She added: ‘We will, of course, continue to offer our services to our agricultural and veterinary clients, we have a vet school based here and we run our own courses. The rooms are perfect for conferences and training and are also available to hire by local groups or companies.’

Nick Agg-Manning, managing director of the Outside Adventure Consultants Ltd, said: ‘Colliton Barton is a great venue and we are delighted to link up with them and offer our range of outdoor pursuits. It really adds that something extra to a training day or conference.’

The facilities at Colliton Barton include a large conference room which has a capacity for up to 45 people, a smaller ‘break out’ room and catering facilities.

Colliton Barton is holding an open afternoon for people interested in viewing its facilities on September 17.

The event takes place from 4pm until 7pm when people will have a chance to try outdoor pursuits and look around the venue. There will also be a barbecue and refreshments. Although the event is free, registration is required. Visit www.collitonbarton.com/event to book a place.
