The Loft at Watersmead

About the venue

Housed on the same site as of one of the largest solar panel installations in Europe, this unique, timber building, once home to The Body Shop Tours & Visitors Centre, is now a stylish and flexible space for Meetings and Events.

The colonial-style building, the perfect foil to the Japanese-inspired head office building, was the creation of a local designer, who had been asked to create an exotic building in an exotic landscape – and he did just that. The building now plays host to a modern and flexible space, fully-equipped for meetings and events - with the addition of stunning gardens, extending its capacity, The Loft at Watersmead offers the scope to create truly fabulous events. The secluded yet spacious venue makes a perfect location for Board, business and strategic meetings. The space can be set with a boardroom style table, and provide private self-contained, yet spacious areas to retire for coffee breaks and seated silver-service or buffet style lunches. The modern interior with its vaulted ceilings and loft feeling is an uncluttered and inspiring space. It’s perfect for product launches, seminars, training and innovation sessions. The blank canvas of the interior, wearing muted tones and clean lines, lends itself to showcasing any variety of artwork, sculpture, fashion or media. Working with clients to understand their needs, the team can offer either a bespoke package or a more simple Day Delegate Rate, both of which can be tailored to your own budget and requirements. We work hard to provide a truly memorable occasion and with an experienced catering team on-site we provide food and drink that will enhance your event and delight your guests. The Loft has the latest in AV technology with the following services available: • Wireless Internet • Ceiling mounted projection with static screen • Wall-mounted LED TVs • Internal Speakers for presentations and video content • Wireless PA system (handheld and lapel mics) The Loft features one large central room, complemented by two additional, smaller, syndicate rooms on the 1st floor of the building. The Loft is fully air conditioned and features flexible, directional lighting and blackout blinds. Supplement your event with the use of our very special outside space. Populated with plants and trees from around the world, we can offer a peaceful setting for the more informal aspects of your event – or a tranquil place when you want to take a break and breathe some fresh, coastal air. The Loft has its own dedicated car park, with space for the arrival and departure of all sizes of cars and coaches. Littlehampton is also close to the historical Cathedral City of Chichester and the vibrant City of Brighton & Hove.
