Description

There is a distinct sense of place at Donington Park Farmhouse. Set between Castle Donington and the historic village of Melbourne, the venue enjoys far-reaching countryside views while remaining close to Derby, Leicester and Nottingham.

The 18th-century Threshing Barn retains its original beams, bare brick walls and rustic charm, offering a striking backdrop for the day’s celebrations. Its age and character are apparent from the moment you walk in. Across the venue, original features and thoughtfully restored spaces help create an atmosphere that feels relaxed, timeless and unique.

Guests will find plenty of beautiful spots for photographs – from the red brick Dutch Barns to open fields just across the lane.

Five Stars – The Perfect Wedding VenueFive Stars – The Perfect Wedding Venue
We got married at Donington Park Farmhouse in April 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a more magical day. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly run. The team made us feel completely at ease, taking care of every detail so we could simply enjoy every moment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the spaces beautifully set, and the entire day flowed effortlessly thanks to the incredible staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their kindness and professionalism made us feel truly looked after. Our wedding felt like a dream, and Donington Park Farmhouse played a huge part in that. We can’t thank them enough for giving us the perfect start to married life. If you’re considering this venue—do it.

We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful and quirky venue for our big day. The team at Donington Park Farmhouse were extremely helpful, welcoming, and made us feel like we were the only couple to be getting married there. The team were very accommodating with all our requests, sharing ideas, and tailoring the day to feel uniquely ours. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful and quirky venue for our big day.

A fantastic dayA fantastic day
From the moment of booking to the big day itself the staff at Donington Park Farmhouse couldn't have been more attentive. With rain shower for most of the wedding it was a great venue with space for confetti and celebrations inside. The food was fantastic and venue is stunning. All the guests said what a fabulous day it was and I just want to go back in time and do it all again.From the moment of booking to the big day itself the staff at Donington Park Farmhouse couldn't have been more attentive.

Beautiful Venue!Beautiful Venue!
Donington Park Farmhouse was an excellent wedding venue. They looked after us really carefully through the entire run-up and on the day itself. They obviously know what they are doing really well, and this translates into a super professional and tailored experience. The venue itself is gorgeous! The hitching barn is such a lovely place to get married, and dance the night away. The courtyard makes for the perfect outside space. The bar area is both large and cosy. The surrounding countryside is picturesque. And they have 20 fantastic on-site bedrooms, which was a must-have for me personally. They have a separate dining room, so there's no waiting around while they reorganise rooms. The on-site kitchen is fantastic, and their food is excellent and all local (check out their venison!). They go out of their way to ensure all dietary requirements are catered for, and they were happy to customise the dining experience to our needs. The drinks packages were perfect for our needs. The staff were excellent, both our wedding planner and the lady in charge of us into the evening were excellent, and we felt super looked after. It was on the top-end of our budget, but we truly believe it was worth every penny. We had the most perfect best day ever!Donington Park Farmhouse was an excellent wedding venue.

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.

Summer DreamSummer 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.

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.We recently got married at Donington Park Farmhouse and we had the best day!

Our dream venue!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 staffAn 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. My wife and I got married here in June, honestly we can't express how incredible it was. The perfect day.
