Christmas at Donington Park Farmhouse

If you’re looking for a Christmas party venue that’s full of character, charm and countryside magic, you’ve just found it. On the rural Leicestershire/Derbyshire border, Donington Park Farmhouse is the perfect place to round off the year with your team, friends, or colleagues.

Our 300-year-old barns come into their own during the winter months, with roaring log fires, exposed red brick walls, and fairy-lit corners creating all the festive atmosphere you could wish for.

Destination

Whether you’re joining us from Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, or travelling from further afield, we’re just 10 minutes from the M1, and close to East Midlands Airport and East Midlands Parkway Train Station, making us a convenient and memorable setting for a Christmas party celebration.

Who’s on the list

You’ll have a choice of characterful spaces to suit your party style. For larger celebrations, The Threshing Barn offers room for up to 300 guests and all the wow-factor of an 18th-century barn – perfect for dining, dancing, or both. For something a little more intimate, The Stackyard is a beautiful, rustic room with its own bar, kitchen, dance floor, and heated courtyard – ideal for mid-sized gatherings that still want plenty of personality. However you choose to celebrate, expect warm hospitality, a festive welcome, and a space you can truly make your own.

Festive feasting

Start the night with a glass of fizz or mulled wine (and perhaps a few seasonal canapés), then settle in for a delicious meal in The Pig Sties, lovingly transformed into a warm, quirky dining space complete with original troughs and walls. Our in-house chefs can prepare a traditional three-course Christmas dinner, a two-course hot buffet, or a more casual option, such as a hearty hog roast. Fancy something themed or tailored to your style? Just let us know – we love getting creative in the kitchen.

Rocking around the Christmas Tree

When dinner’s done, it’s time to party. Whether you’re in The Threshing Barn or The Stackyard, you’ll enjoy a fully stocked bar open until midnight, with music carrying on until 12:30am. Bring your own playlist, book one of our trusted DJs or go all out with a live band – the night is yours.

The magic doesn’t end when the music stops. With 20 charming bedrooms available on-site, there’s no need to worry about getting home. Wake up to peaceful countryside views and a hearty breakfast to start the next day right.

With a friendly, family-run team, a beautifully rustic venue, and all the flexibility you need, Donington Park Farmhouse is ready to help you throw a Christmas party to remember, without blowing the budget.
