Welcoming a new little one into the world is a special occasion, and we’d love to help you celebrate it in a way that feels as special as they are.
Our self-contained party space, The Stackyard, is ideal for baby naming and christening parties. It has indoor and outdoor spaces, a large garden, and its own bar and kitchen.
The Barn is ideal for larger gatherings, with a flexible layout that includes our 300-year-old Threshing Barn and a collection of characterful rooms. It can comfortably host anywhere from 50 to 300 guests, and spaces can be sectioned off to suit smaller groups. The adjoining Barn Courtyard is a real highlight – a peaceful, sun-filled garden with lavender, wisteria, topiary trees, and festoon lighting, perfect for drinks and photos.
For a more intimate setting, The Farmhouse offers a cosy space for up to 40 guests. It features original oak panelling, log fires, and stunning views across the surrounding countryside. It’s a warm, relaxed space that works beautifully for smaller celebrations.
If you’re planning a christening ceremony, several stunning local churches are just a short drive away. We’re happy to send over full details, but a few popular choices include:
All Saints Church, Isley Walton – A charming, ancient church tucked away in a quiet hamlet, perfect for up to 50 guests.
St Michael with St Mary’s, Melbourne – A grand parish church beside Melbourne Pool, known for its stone columns and 12 bells.
Breedon Priory Church – A striking historic church overlooking the quarry at Breedon Hill, with over 1,200 years of history.
Melbourne Catholic Church – A beautiful red-brick building just five minutes from the Farmhouse.
We also offer in-house catering for your celebration, whether you’d like a sit-down meal, a relaxed buffet, or an afternoon tea served on vintage china. Our chefs use locally sourced ingredients and take pride in preparing food that looks great and tastes even better. We’re always happy to tailor the menu to suit your vision and budget.
For guests travelling from further afield, we have 20 bedrooms on the estate so family can make a weekend of it.
