Accommodation and facilities
Wiston House is a sixteenth century Grade I Listed building, surrounded by over 6,000 acres of parkland.
Participants attending events here are accommodated either in the main house, in one of our converted cottages on site or at neighbouring hotels. Direct dial telephones, internet access, hairdryers, irons and ironing boards, tea and coffee making facilities are available in bedrooms.
Due to the nature of our business, we are unable to provide accommodation for participants arriving early for an event, but on request, we can provide details of nearby hotels.
Please note, Wiston House does not not have an elevator or porter service, and many bedrooms are accessed via stairs. If you have any mobility or accessibility requirements, please contact the events team in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements for you.
Wilton Park is an exclusive-use conference centre rather than a hotel, so room service is not available. Meals and refreshments are provided as part of the event programme.
Accommodation is reserved for participants and we are generally unable to accommodate partners, family member or other guests who are not attending the event.
Wilton Park operates a no smoking policy. Please ask staff for the designated smoking areas.
