Saffron Catering
The Glade venue
The Glade
A woodland venue with Saffron Catering at its heart.
Set within Rosliston Forestry Centre in the National Forest, The Glade is a peaceful woodland venue designed for weddings, celebrations and events that deserve a setting with real character.
With a hand-carved wooden gazebo for ceremonies and a fully glass-fronted marquee for dining and celebrations, The Glade gives you the space to create an event that feels personal, relaxed and beautifully considered. It is a venue that works with the natural surroundings, giving guests a sense of occasion from the moment they arrive.
Managed with the care, planning and attention to detail people expect from Saffron, The Glade brings venue, food and event support together in one place. That means fewer moving parts, clearer communication and a team who understand how to make the day feel smooth from start to finish.
Flexible for your event
From weddings and private celebrations to corporate functions and larger gatherings, The Glade can be shaped around the style, scale and atmosphere of your occasion.
Designed to feel personal
The venue offers a beautiful setting with room to bring your own theme, ideas and finishing touches to life.

The Glade is a flexible venue with space to shape the day around your plans. Whether you are dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, a marquee celebration, a private event or a business function with a different feel, the venue gives you a strong starting point without forcing you into a fixed format.

What our clients think
The best venue experience should feel calm, considered and easy to enjoy.
Couples and event organisers want more than a beautiful setting. They want clear guidance, thoughtful planning, food that guests remember and a team who can keep the day moving smoothly behind the scenes.
That is what Saffron brings to The Glade: a venue with character, supported by experienced people who understand how events work in practice.

Our Love for Food
Food plays a big part in how an event feels, and at The Glade it is built into the experience from the beginning.
Being based in the heart of the Midlands gives us access to fantastic local produce and trusted suppliers, many of whom we know personally. That means we can create menus that feel fresh, generous and right for the occasion, whether you are planning a wedding breakfast, a relaxed buffet, canapés, grazing food or a full celebration menu.
We care about presentation, but never at the expense of substance. The food has to look right, taste right and work practically for the venue, timings and guest experience. That balance is where Saffron is strongest: creative enough to make the food feel special, experienced enough to make sure it serves beautifully on the day.
Venues we cater for
Saffron caters for a wide range of venues across the Midlands, giving our team a strong understanding of how different spaces, layouts and event styles need to work in practice.
The Glade gives clients the benefit of that experience in a venue we know well. From access and set-up to food service, timings, guest flow and supplier coordination, we can help plan the details properly so the day feels smooth, considered and well managed.
