Worton Park Venue for Workshops and Classes

Worton Park Blue Room

For those who don't know, Worton Park is a delightful hamlet just outside Oxford, between Cassington and Yarnton. It is an idyllic rural oasis, but also very easy to reach from major roads in the area.

The Blue Room at Worton Park provides a great venue for holding workshop or classes. There is plenty of space for up to 60, but easily adapts for smaller groups with a wonderful new conservatory which has plenty of natural light. The conservatory opens out onto a pool-side patio, which is lovely for refreshments or activities outdoors in summer.

Flocking environmentalists

Whether or not you’re concerned about accelerating biodiversity loss, water security, climate change, or the impact of major economies in Asia and Latin America joining the West in destructive mass consumerism, the evidence is clear: we are stretching the planet’s resources.

Though 1970s anxieties proved largely unfounded, emerging research is resuscitating these concerns in a new way. A panel of local thinkers will lead an interactive discussion asking whether the world really is now entering an age where resource scarcity will come to define the limits of human well-being.
