DRESS CODE
Business Leaders Programme (Sunday 19th – Wednesday 22nd January)
In terms of general dress code: think relaxed, comfortable lounge wear. The spirit is informal and getting back to basics. No business wear required! So: loose trousers, warm jumpers and a winter coat (ideally rainproof) if you have one. Gloves, scarf and woolly hat are highly recommended as January can be pretty cold (normally close to zero centigrade).
We also recommend sensible shoes or boots (waterproof or hiking boots recommended) as the hotel is on an estate. The accommodation is located in various buildings so each day you will have a short walk from your room to the main Lodge building where the conference will be held. We will also be going on walks around the estate as part of our programme.
Business Leaders Conference (Wednesday 22nd – Friday 24th January)
Refined relaxation for Wednesday’s welcome dinner at Foxhill Manor Hotel. Comfortable and sensible shoes are a must as we will be walking from The Fish to Foxhill. Transport can be arranged for those requiring assistance. Please ensure you have warm coats, hats, scarves and gloves.
Thursday 22nd January - Business casual dress for the conference. Comfortable shoes are encouraged as we will be exploring Daylesford Organic Farm.
Dressy casual for the awards dinner at The Lygon Arms Hotel on Thursday evening.
