The Tipis (or tepees - depending on your preference!)
Our beautiful event tipis are a beautiful addition to our lawn with a unique beauty perfect for any group looking for something a little different. Although its hard to believe from the outside, our tipis can seat up to 110 guests. The wooden structure of the interior, dressed in fairy lights and bunting, make for a truly magical space unlike any corporate event you will have attended before. The perfect space for dining, they are also ideally suited for live music. The tipis have their own bar and are licensed for service and music until 11pm.
The Grounds
The extensive and beautiful grounds are home to our host of activities from tree climbing to archery. In the middle of the woodland is the ruins of the old walled garden, now host to our wildness campfire spot. Check out our activities page for a full list of what's on offer!
Our woodland is home to many animals, birds and insects from weasels to owls, newts to badgers, and this incredible menagerie is a real asset to us here at Carreg Adventure.
There is also a cave and original ice house within our private woodland and the future plans for the site include making this area an accessible, spectacular event space.
Other Facilities
There is parking for up to 45 cars on site or ample space for a large coach. There is also a gift shop on site selling confectionary, toys and gifts in keeping with our traditional, natural image. Internet access is available in the Entrance Hall, Library and Morgan Room but please check connectivity before arrival. Our rural location does mean that, from time to time, internet service can be slow.
Food
Our talented and creative chef works with all of our groups to design the perfect menu to suit your tastes and budgets. Whether you are looking for a delicate three course meal or a hearty, home cooked menu our chef will come up with the perfect dishes for your guests.
We believe that the secret to excellent food is simple, a great chef and locally sourced, quality ingredients. That is why we have worked tirelessly to find the best suppliers of the best produce South Wales has to offer.

Other themed menus are available such as Spanish, Italian, Cuban and Southern barbeque to name but a few previous examples.
The are several options available for the location and style of your food service and these options can be explored with you as part of our event planning service.
