The large stone barn originally built as a Royal Livery is now our event venue / function space. Weddings, celebrations, photoshoots, exhibitions and workshops are all held in this beautiful building.

The Chateau itself has been renovated with a very light touch maintaining its charm from a bygone age and maintaining all its authentic original features.
