The Bell at Charlbury: Corporate conferences, seminars & Meetings

We are equidistant from Bristol, Birmingham and London & have two dedicated meeting facilities!

When it comes to choosing a venue for your conference, seminar, training course or meeting, you have to get the basics right:

Location - your venue must be a central location and easily accessible by public transport as well as road. Charlbury is a short drive from junction 9 of the M40, with a mainline train station getting you to Oxford in 12 mins and Paddington in 1hr 10 mins. We're equidistant from Bristol, Birmingham and London, so make an ideal spot for your meeting.
