The Space

Nestled within a water meadow, amongst a beautiful tree lined lake, Chalkney Water Meadows is the perfect venue for alfresco dining experiences and arts productions including outdoor theatre, cinema and all other types of events!

Our three giant tipis create a wonderful atmosphere for dining and events, as well the lawn in front. Stetch tents can be put up in case of bad weather, otherwsie the beauty of the venue is the countryside land. 

We have an onsite caterer who will be offering alfresco dining experiences next to the lake, from our converted sea container kitchen and clay pizza oven - all ingredients locally sourced to make delcious home cooked meals.

what is canvas?
Free
Canvas is a free venue finding platform. Our venues pay a fee for their listing on Canvas, which means you don't have to pay us any commission or booking fees for using the site.
Direct
We think you are the best person to book your event - so the contact details for the event planner at each venue are listed on their profile page, so you can speak to each venue directly.
Fast
You shouldn't have to wait for an agent to get back to you before you can make a booking. Because you can contact the venue directly, it's the quickest way to make a booking.
