Venue

The Institute of Continuing Education at Madingley Hall

The gardens of this venue provide a perfect opportunity to explore the themes of this dayschool, from the beautiful open spaces, expertly manicured Yew Topiary Garden and the Walled Garden to inspire your coaching practice. 
A map of the gardens is available to download at the bottom of this page. 

Madingley Hall itself is an impressive manor house dating back to the mid-16th century. The decoration of the Saloon and the formal Stair Hall was carried out 200 years later, and the whole fabric was renovated with great care around 1900. About four miles from the centre of Cambridge, the Hall stands in several acres of beautifully-maintained gardens and overlooks a landscape which has changed relatively little since it was laid out by Capability Brown. It is just four miles from the centre of Cambridge, and only 60 minutes from London, with excellent links to London airports.
