De Vere Cotswold Water Park unveils grand transformation of event spaces

De Vere Cotswold Water Park, part of the De Vere collection of mansion house estates and  hotels and event destinations, has unveiled the results of a £700,000 refurbishment to its Kingfisher and Drake event suites.

The suites have been refreshed to include modern amenities and the latest technologies to bring them in line with the company’s Smart Space meetings concept. 

Smart Space comprises nine service features including meeting rooms; a personal conference host; tech-savvy support; super-fast Wi-Fi and access to a team of specialists to help ensure delegates “get moving and remain motivated throughout the day”.

The Kingfisher Suite, one of De Vere Cotswold Water Park’s largest spaces, can host up to 370 or can be split into three for smaller groups. The space offers 300 metres of flexible floor space and can easily be tailored to suit any event. 

The suite also offers direct access to an outdoor decking area and an indoor adjoining bar. The Drake Suite offers flexible seating options ideal for private dinners or smaller conferences for up to 126 guests. The space offers a built-in projector and screen, and a private breakout area.

Peter Sangster, Venue director at De Vere Cotswold Water Park, said: “We are very excited to reveal the results of the refurbishment to the Kingfisher and Drake suites. The work has breathed new life into the suites while celebrating the beautiful natural environment surrounding the property and ensuring they offer the latest luxuries with 21st-century design and state-of-the-art facilities. 

“Whether guests are visiting us for a large-scale corporate event or an intimate evening celebration, our expert team will deliver an exemplary experience that is tailored to each guest’s unique requirements.”
