University of Delaware – Virden Retreat Center
Event Types Welcomed
About
Planners looking to enhance meetings and events with the recreation options at the beach will be happy to know UD’s Virden Retreat Center in Lewes has it just right. The Virden Center is a self-contained campus nestled in the natural surroundings of a historic coastal town with access to everything from beaches to State Parks to brewery tours to kayaking – even tax-free outlet shopping. The atmosphere is easy and relaxed – perfect for multi-day retreats, workshops, small meetings, social events, and celebrations. Our personal event managers can help you strategize your objectives and handle all the details from start to finish.
The conference venue has six flexible meeting rooms, indoor/outdoor dining options, and open lawns for taking activities outside or adding a large tented space. Onsite lodges house 23 guest rooms overlooking the wetland preserve – each with a private entrance, private bath, and private screened-in porch. Conferencing on University of Delaware’s campuses offer comfort, convenience and confidence meeting today’s unique needs.
Close to other beach towns like Rehoboth, it’s easy to see why Unique Venues voted the Virden Center Retreat an LGBTQ friendly venue.
