About us

A Day In The Country is an award winning Corporate Events, Team Building and Conference venue based on the Oxfordshire / Northamptonshire border. Established over 25 years ago as a family-run business, A Day in the Country offers a very personal and specialised service to clients, and its Directors have a wealth of experience as Event Managers. Get away from bland hotel rooms by hosting your conference, training session or management meeting in the distinctive, atmospheric yet professional surroundings of The Great Barn at A Day in the Country. If you are hosting a meeting in the Midlands, then do it in style. Housed in magnificent 18th century barns which have been converted to offer the best of both worlds, our spacious private conference rooms with syndicate /breakout rooms offer fully equipped, modern facilities with the charm and elegance of a historic setting.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
