THE PINES CALYX

From conferences to training courses, retreats to artistic performances, personal celebrations and much more – The Pines Calyx venue is suited to a wide range of uses.

The Pines Calyx is the first venue in Europe to be designed and built using the principles of cradle-to-cradle design, whereby materials used are sustainable and considerate of life and future generations.

We have a tiered set of hiring rates, to take account of community, VCSE, public sector and corporate expectations and all surpluses from these fees help subsidise the environmental education work of The Bay Trust.

Events Catering

The Pines Calyx offers menus when the venue itself is hired out. These menus also include plant-based and gluten-free options and are made specifically to order

WEDDINGS

we are delighted to be able to host weddings from 2025. Given the nature of the building and its environs, ceremonies and their celebrations can be hosted for between 26 and 72 guests.
