For an Intimate Gathering

If you’re planning a smaller, more private gathering for fewer than 20 guests, The Old Stables Restaurant is an ideal choice. This cosy, welcoming venue offers a peaceful environment for close family and friends to gather. With bookings available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it provides the perfect setting for a reflective and personal reception, where memories can be shared in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.

For Small to Mid-Sized Receptions

For gatherings of between 30 and 60 guests, Fletcher’s Bar offers a traditional and warm interior, complete with its own private bar. This space is perfect for those looking for a more casual, relaxed reception. The venue also opens up to our outdoor beer garden, providing guests with a comfortable environment to celebrate a life well-lived. Fletcher’s Bar is particularly suited for those who prefer a more informal gathering, allowing for easy conversation and connection.

For Medium-Sized Memorials

If you expect between 40 and 120 guests, The Hay Loft is the ideal venue. This beautifully restored Grade II listed building retains many of its original features, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere. The Hay Loft features a private bar and a tranquil outdoor covered terrace, offering guests a blend of indoor and outdoor space. It is an excellent choice for those who want a more traditional and refined setting to reflect on their loved one’s life.

For Larger Celebrations of Life

For receptions with over 120 guests, Fletcher’s Marquee offers a versatile and spacious setting. In the winter, it is fully enclosed and heated, featuring a large screen and starlit ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. During the warmer months, the marquee opens up, providing an airy and open-ended space with a peaceful outdoor ambience. With its private bar and flexible layout, Fletcher’s Marquee is ideal for those who need a larger venue to accommodate a wide circle of family and friends.
