Donington Park Farmhouse

Exclusive use Barn Wedding Venue

Probably the first Barn Wedding Venue in the country!  We’ve been hosting Weddings and Parties in our charming eighteenth-century Barns since 1984 and we’d like to think we’ve created a lot of happy memories.

Relax and enjoy a day that’s different. If the idea of eating in original Pig Sties and dancing in a magnificent Threshing Barn appeals to you then we’re the place for you.  Your wedding reception can be as formal or as casual as you like; you set the tone and we’ll be right there with you. You may choose to have just your reception and evening with us or come here for the whole day.  Hold your civil ceremony in either the Hitching Room, for up to 80 guests, or The Threshing Barn, for up to 150.  The Barn is fully licensed and heated for all year round use. We cater for celebrations of all sizes, from small intimate gatherings to bustling parties of up to 300 guests.

The old world charm of the original brick & timber barns creates a truly memorable setting…

Embracing the cold for the perfect photo ❄😍
As much as we’re all holding onto the thought of Summer, there’s just something special about a winter wedding! The soft candlelight, the roaring fires, the hearty & hot seasonal food & the magical cosy atmosphere! Winter scenery gives the perfect backdrop for photos!
