Meeting room hire in Preston that gives you something to actually work with. The David Murdoch Room at The Flower Bowl offers a dedicated space with a large HDMI screen, flexible layouts, air conditioning, and free parking for every delegate. Named after Championship curler David Murdoch, it’s got a bit of character to it, not another beige box off a hotel corridor. It’s one of several function rooms available for hire at The Flower Bowl, alongside spaces for parties, celebrations, and private events.
Set up as boardroom, U-shape, theatre, or cabaret. The events team handles coordination, and on-site catering means lunch doesn’t need a separate booking.
Everything you need, nothing to chase on the day.

Most meeting venues hand you a room and leave the rest to you. The Flower Bowl doesn’t work like that.
After the session, your group can go straight into bowling, curling, crazy golf, shuffleboard, or the golf simulator without leaving the site. No second venue, no second booking, no one standing in a car park deciding where to go next. It works particularly well for away days and training days where the organiser wants the afternoon to feel like a reward rather than an extension of the morning.
If you’re planning a full day out for your team, take a look at our team building packages.
The David Murdoch Room works well for most groups. For something bigger, the three private cinema screens seat up to 56 guests with HDMI, sofa-style seating, and tech support included as standard.
It’s a decent option for AGMs, company-wide presentations, product launches, or training sessions where you need everyone facing the same direction and actually able to see the screen. The largest seats 56, the other two seat up to 48 each.
Adjustable lighting, wheelchair accessible front row seating, and a pre-event technical run-through available on request. Find out more about private cinema hire at The Flower Bowl.
Once the meeting wraps, the Copper Lounge gives your group somewhere to go without leaving the building.
Up to 60 guests, exclusive hire, complimentary karaoke, a personal sound system, private bar, and private WC facilities. Add two private bowling lanes if the evening calls for it.
It’s the option for teams who want the day to end somewhere better than a pub car park.
City centre meeting rooms look appealing until your delegates spend 20 minutes circling for parking.
The Flower Bowl is off the A6, free parking for every guest, no time limits. Accessible from Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster, Blackpool, Bolton and Chorley without touching a city centre.
Five dining options on site cover everything from a working lunch at The Ocean to a sit-down meal at Blooms Restaurant.
Nothing needs a separate booking or a taxi. Brief the events team once and they’ll handle the rest.
The room accommodates groups of varying sizes depending on layout. Boardroom and U-shape work best for smaller groups; theatre and cabaret layouts open it up for larger sessions. Contact the events team for specific capacity guidance based on your format.
