Our Venue

Not just a pretty place

Farncombe Estate has one of the most spectacular locations in the country. We are set in 370 acres of managed parkland with native woods, meadows, lakes and footpaths. We also have some of the best panoramas in the country – over the Vale of Evesham and the Malverns to the Black Mountains of Wales.

But it’s what we get up to that makes us so special. Our learning spaces and 89 bedrooms are brought alive by the tutors and students who visit us at weekends and on our summer schools. Farncombe is a village-style venue which provides flexibility and tranquility, open views and inspiration for thousands of visitors from all over the UK and abroad.

Our open views and open courses mean we attract people with open minds. The typical Farncombe student is ready to learn, keen to make friends and happy to take on challenges at every stage of life. If that sounds like you, then it doesn’t matter how old you are, or what background you come from: you’ll love it here.
