Riversands is what happens when a farm village and a proper conference facility live on the same 1000-plus footprint. The Canvas handles the formal conference component (30-450 delegates across flexible rooms), while the wider village gives you activations, teambuilding, and family-day potential. B&W recommends Riversands when the brief needs 'not another hotel ballroom' - for brand activations, launches with outdoor content moments, and staff family days that need to feel genuinely different.
