Our recent conference at Newbattle Abbey was an absolute success.
The historic building and its fantastic grounds created a unique and inspiring setting. Our guests were genuinely impressed by the atmosphere, and the venue’s heritage added a sense of occasion that you simply can’t replicate elsewhere. The catering was equally outstanding, with a range of menu options that were not only thoughtfully prepared but truly delicious. A truly welcoming experience for all who attended.
