Description

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. Our must-see venue is an authentic barn, with a choice of stunning spaces for your ceremony, original pig sites for the meal and a stunning 300 year old Threshing Barn to party in 'til late. The Barn leads directly onto a private outdoor courtyard; a sun-trap perfect for canapes, drink receptions and festoon-lit dancing. You have exclusive-use of all the Barn's indoor and outdoor spaces, plus the full run of the estate for photographs, including our fields, woodland and old farm outbuildings. Our amazing kitchen caters for all of our events in-house. Our chefs are famous for their BBQs, carveries, indulgent buffets, cakes of cheese and serious tasty hog roasts. The picturesque site is located between the market towns of Melbourne and Castle Donington.

Thank you, Donington Park Farmhouse!

Donington Park Farmhouse was the first venue that me and my now husband visited together, and safe to say we fell in love with the place IMMEDIATELY! From the beautifully rustic barn to the pretty and quaint dining area and beautifully decorated hotel rooms, we knew straight away that this is where we wanted to get married. In the run up to the wedding, our Events Planner, Alicja, and the rest of the event planning team were just so incredibly helpful. I felt so scatty and hare-brained, but everytime I spoke with Alicja to catch up on the progress of the wedding plans, I left feeling totally reassured and that our wedding day was truly a priority for them. The menu options for our summer wedding were just perfect, and I honestly wish that we could have had a bit of everything! On the day, as a bride on her wedding morning, I couldn’t have felt more cared for by the wonderfully attentive team at Donington Park Farmhouse. I hadn’t planned the dressing room very well, so my advice would be to double check with the team which room provides the most space for dressing if you are a bride with a bridal party! We had a lovely morning getting ready in our room with a countryside view, I was almost as excited for Alicja to see my in my dress as I was my husband-to-be! The ceremony went without a hitch and the event team totally saved the day at every opportunity. They were so flexible with us changing our reception to the outdoor courtyard at the last minute (literally after the wedding breakfast!!) as we realised we had fantastic sunshine after much ambiguity about the weather in the days leading up to the wedding. Our day truly couldn’t have gone any better, and we have received so many compliments from our guests regarding the venue, the team and the FOOD!!! Thank you so much, Donington Park Farmhouse and especially to the wonderful Alicja, for helping to make the day of our dreams a reality. I am eagerly awaiting an invitation to a wedding at your venue in the future!! Danielle & James Xx

Dream Wedding

The most beautiful venue and on top of that, the most amazing staff. The girls that were there for me on the day were incredible and kept checking in to see if there was anything i needed. Throughout wedding planning, the team always responded in a timely manner and answered any questions we had. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire team. Donington Park Farmhouse will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you everyone for making our dream wedding come true🤍

We had such a great day. It was full of laughter and smiles and everyone just let their hair down for a day. We couldn’t have asked for a better day spent with such amazing people. The venue was perfect for us. The staff were great and helped us have a stress free day that ran so smoothly.

Everything we could have dreamed of

We had our wedding reception at Donington Park Farmhouse in June and it was truly the most perfect day. You spend a lot of time planning your dream wedding, it means so much to you, you live and breathe wedding planning every day in the lead up and you hope that by the time you hand it over to the staff, they will take as greater care of it as you have and we can honestly say, the staff at Donington really did. Our wedding planner Alicja helped with all the final details prior to our big day, and we felt we were in trusted hands by doing so. She was thorough and put lots of care into ensuring our day was as special as it was. On the day itself, the operations team were brilliant and made all the planning come to life and it really did go without a hitch! We look back on our day and couldn’t have wished for it to have gone any better, it had the seal of approval from our guests too.

The best day at Donington Park Farmhouse

We cannot fault the team at Donington Park Farmhouse and the beautiful setting for our wedding. We decided on a winter wedding and the venue was the perfect choice, super cosy & warm! The team were so helpful both in the run up and on the day - everything ran smoothly! They even made sure the sun shone on a winters day!

Beautiful venue

Donington Farm House was exactly what we wanted. Intimate space for the ceremony and then the beautiful barn for the reception meant all out guests were easily accommodated without everyone being stuck in one room for the whole evening. The staff were fantastic before the big and and on the big day! Knew exactly what we needed and let us have space the day before to be able to drop things off and get prepared on the morning.
