A space to gather In the heart of the meadow you’ll find our stunning, hand-built, wooden framed, 8.5 metre yurt which offers a fantastic light and airy space for groups of 70 people or more. This beautiful space, in the tranquil setting of the meadow is the ideal place for conferences, special events and activities such as yoga classes, meditation, reading and singing groups. The log stove keeps the space warm and cosy in the colder months and in the summer, the sides can be removed to create a light, airy place to get together. Conference style chairs are available should you wish to use them, or if you’d prefer we can clear the space for you. Accessibility The yurt is fully accessible, it has a hardwood floor and there is a ramp at the entrance.

Follow our footpath through the ‘wildlife’ nature area, visit the wild flower meadow or take a moment to enjoy the peace and quiet by our pond. The meadow is home to a variety of wildlife including deer, bats and pheasants so you never know who you might meet during your visit. If you’re interested in seeing some of our smaller meadow residents up close you’ll find insect hotels scattered around the site, or if you’ve got any keen bird-spotters in your group, let us know and we can show you the footage from our bird box cameras. For a truly outdoor experience, gather around our fire-pit which is surrounded by wooden benches so it’s the perfect spot for outdoor eating – we’ve got all of the cooking pots and utensils you’ll need for your group to cook a tasty feast together. We’re lucky enough to be based in a designated dark-sky area which means we’re in a prime spot for star-gazing! If you’ve got your own equipment bring it along, if not, we’ve got two telescopes and a star-gazing chair which you can borrow. A Space to Stay MB3 has two fantastic residential options if you’d like to stay with us during your visit. The first of these is our purpose built accommodation which offers 11 twin bedrooms with views across the meadow or, for those of you who enjoy an outdoor adventure, you can also camp in our stunning grounds. Purpose Built Accommodation Each of the twin rooms in our residential building has tea and coffee making facilities, bedding and towels to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. There are six communal bathrooms, each with their own shower, and you’re welcome to use the washing machines and tumble driers located in the laundry facility next to the building. The small, comfortable lounge area is an ideal space to relax and unwind as you take in the views across the meadow through the French windows that open onto the outdoor space and picnic area. In the living room you’ll also find a collection of DVDs, books and games for you to enjoy during your stay. When it comes to cooking, there’s a well equipped kitchen with a small dining table, or you can head outside to the BBQ area where there are benches and tables so that you can cook and eat outdoors. Please note that we purposefully have no Wi-fi in this building so that you can make the most of the opportunity to have a quieter, more tranquil experience at MB3. Camping If you’ve got your own tent, we’ve plenty of space for you to pitch your tent in our designated camping area with space for up to ten, two-person tents. A short walk from the area you’ll find two showers and toilet facilities located next to the laundry room. At the moment there’s no electricity supply to the camping area however we’re working on this and hope to have a supply in the not too distant future.
