Looking to book your 2025 conference, team away day or strategy day?
At The Maynard, we offer the perfect blend of business and pleasure, nestled in the stunning surroundings of the Peak District.
Whether you're planning a one-day event or a multi-day conference, our flexible packages ensure your delegates are well taken care of with exceptional locally sourced food, boutique hotel accommodation, and a beautiful natural environment.
Our day delegate rate from just £35.95pp is perfect for those seeking a focused, one-day conference.
For a more immersive experience, our 24-hour delegate rate from £219.95pp includes everything you need for a productive stay: a night in one of our award-winning boutique rooms, a delicious three-course evening meal, and a hearty Peak District breakfast to start the next day fresh and ready.
Incredible Locally Sourced Food for All
All our food is locally sourced and fresh from local farms and producers. Our food really is fabulous and we know when you’re in a conference environment you’re ticking down the minutes until the meals!
If you're hosting a conference over more than one day, we recommend choosing different items from our buffet menu each day to keep things fresh and exciting for your team.
For a truly memorable evening, our corporate evening menu changes seasonally to reflect local produce grown on our doorstep. At the time of writing, our menu offers delicious options such as BBQ glazed pork belly, smoked mackerel pate, and a range of vegan and gluten-free dishes like harissa roasted aubergine or flourless chocolate brownie.
We cater for a variety of dietary preferences, with fantastic vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes available, ensuring all your delegates are catered for with care and consideration.
Keep It Fresh with Tailored Menus
If you'd like to upgrade your refreshments, we’re happy to tailor them to your preferences. For example, you might choose to swap pastries for healthy fruit smoothies, or kickstart the day with a round of bacon sandwiches. The choice is yours and we’re always happy to accommodate.
Easy to Get Here
Located just two minutes from Grindleford train station, The Maynard is easily accessible with direct rail links to Manchester and Sheffield. Direct trains to Manchester are just over an hour and you can arrive directly from Sheffield in under 15 minutes.
For those driving we offer ample free parking for guests. This prime location means your delegates can arrive stress-free and ready to dive into your conference.
A Fresh Take on Conferences
We’re moving away from the traditional “death by PowerPoint” conference format. At The Maynard, we encourage blending productive indoor sessions with the calming benefits of nature and the great outdoors. It’s a refreshing way to enhance creativity and keep delegates engaged throughout your event.
But we believe that the best ideas come when people are relaxed and refreshed. That’s why we encourage you to take advantage of our unique location on the edge of the Peak District. Break up your day with a peaceful walk to nearby Padley Gorge, returning to warm scones and fresh coffee to continue your meeting with renewed energy. Or why not pop to nearby Bakewell or the magnificent Chatsworth House? Both are perfect options for team-building or a relaxing break between sessions.
Trusted by Leading Brands
Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with leading clients, including Ferrero, National Rail, Sheffield University, NFU, Manchester University, and Visit Peak District, who trust The Maynard to deliver exceptional conference experiences. We’d love to do the same for your business in 2025.
