We celebrated our daughter's Christening at the Pavilion, and it was so beautiful. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the venue, the food, the service. The park was a huge hit with the kids. Natalie was a dream to work with.

I cannot emphasise enough how happy I am that we booked The Orchard for my father's end of life celebration. Everything went so smoothly, the venue was gorgeous, the food was beautiful and all the staff were outstanding. The events team made a very difficult day a little easier.

Organising an event for a large group of 50 people can be stressful, especially on short notice, but the team handled everything seamlessly. The Stables was the perfect space. Bakery Brothers created a stunning custom gluten-free cake with only a few days' notice.

We hosted a Brunch for Good charity event with 100 guests. Natalie is a true professional and it all ran so smoothly with delicious food. The wait staff were amazing and service gold class. We are so lucky to have such a quality venue locally.

We held my father's wake here in the Pavilion. The gardens and venue are stunning and the staff were friendly and helpful with all our needs.

We recently had our daughter's birthday here and it was the best experience. Everyone was beyond happy with their food and even all the parents were relaxed as the kids were happy playing. Highly recommend holding your next celebration here!
