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 doesn’t seem quite enough
We just wanted to say the most enormous thank you to you all for making our wedding so special. You were outstanding from our first visit right up until we checked out the day after the wedding. On the day, staff were attentive and made the day flow seamlessly making sure we were catered for and informed of what was next. The food was also incredible. We honestly could not have had a more perfect day to celebrate you and your team had a huge part in that thank you doesn’t seem quite enough!!

Summer Dream
The wedding team are incredible - we didn’t really need to have any more contact with them other than the planned meetings because they make sure everything is covered! They adapted and were able to accommodate the things we wanted which made our day even special. Our wedding took part on one of the hottest days in July and they allowed the DJ to move to patio so we could party outside - absolutely incredible. We have had lots of feedback about how beautiful the venue was, how the nice the food was and especially how well dietary needs were catered for. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

The day couldn’t have gone better
We recently got married at Donington Park Farmhouse and we had the best day! Throughout the whole planning process they were always there for anything we needed and the day went off without a hitch…even the sun came out for us in October! We’re so glad we picked Donington, the venue is so naturally beautiful we didn’t need to add too many decorations.

Our dream venue!
My wife and I got married at the stunning Donington Park Farmhouse in May, and it was truly everything we had ever dreamed of. The service provided by the entire team at Donington Park was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure our day flowed seamlessly, the whole team were fantastic from the kitchen team, bar staff to the grounds crew, but a special thank you goes to the amazing planning and coordination team, who supported us every step of the way, both during the preparation and on the big day. We cannot thank Donington Park Farmhouse enough for creating the most magical day of our lives. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning surroundings with impeccable service, this venue is for you.

An incredible day, beautiful venue, amazing staff
My wife and I got married here in June, honestly we can't express how incredible it was. The perfect day. The venue is stunningly beautiful and the staff are incredible. The rooms are also luxurious and spacious. We had several meetings on the run up to the wedding where it was clear they were more than happy to do what it takes to make our day special. No request was too much and their flexibility was brilliant. Not something we had experience when speaking to other venues. They were incredibly organised and professional from the first look round until the doors closed at the end of our wedding day. They helped the day run very smoothly and ensured everyone knew what was going on and that all the guests were happy and having a great time while keeping any stress away from myself and the bride (not that there was any). They made sure myself and my wife were fed and didn't want for anything. Honestly I can't rate the venue and the staff highly enough. I'll be recommending them to absolutely anyone that will listen. Massive thankyou from myself and my wife for everything.

Our wonderful wedding
We had a super evening the night before, followed by an amazing wedding day taking over the whole venue and every bedroom. Excellent service from the team who were attentive and helpful leading up to the wedding and on the day this made the day even more special. Absolutely brilliant food and service plus superb entertainment in the evening enjoyed by everyone. Would and have recommended the venue to many as great location and unique property.

Everything you could wish for and more!
It was love at first sight... of course for meeting my now husband but also how we came to choose this venue. If you want a rustic themed wedding with gorgeous outdoor space and staff who can’t do enough for you, this is the place! The staff here absolutely know what your wedding means to you and provide an exceptional service both on the day and in all the planning leading up to it. The venue was also great value with the inclusive wedding party accommodation. Lastly the food was also delicious - the venue ticks every box and we received so many compliments about how lovely it was. I wish we could do it all again!

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🤍
