Donington Park Farmhouse

The feel

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.
There are two licensed ceremony spaces on site, each offering something different. The Threshing barn offers a dramatic space where soaring beams and historic features draw your eye upwards. The scale and warmth of this barn create an unforgettable setting for your vows. Whilst the Hitching Room is a light-filled and intimate, this smaller room is ideal for those planning a more personal ceremony.
For the wedding breakfast, guests dine in the restored Pig Sties – a series of characterful red-brick rooms complete with antique features. Whether you’re planning a relaxed gathering or an energetic party, the venue offers the space and flexibility to suit your every need.
The Threshing Barn transforms in the evening into a lively party space, with high timber beams above and a well-stocked bar below. The bar offers flexible drinks packages, with options for cocktails, corkage, and even real ale barrels.

There are 20 individually styled bedrooms available onsite, each one designed to feel comfortable and personal. Five of these are included with the venue at no extra cost on the wedding night.
