A rural Leicestershire venue with real character-think old Pig Sties for dining, barn parties, and a tree-lined drive that sets the tone from the start. 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.

Absolutely gorgeous! We love Winter weddings and we make sure the barn is nice and toasty and have lots of pretty fairy lights. The log burner in the barn bar makes all the difference. In December we bring in a traditional style Christmas Tree.
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. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
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.
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.
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.
Donington Park Farmhouse was the first venue that me and my now husband visited together, and safe to say we fell in love with the place IMMEDIATELY! From the beautifully rustic barn to the pretty and quaint dining area and beautifully decorated hotel rooms, we knew straight away that this is where we wanted to get married. In the run up to the wedding, our Events Planner, Alicja, and the rest of the event planning team were just so incredibly helpful. I felt so scatty and hare-brained, but everytime I spoke with Alicja to catch up on the progress of the wedding plans, I left feeling totally reassured and that our wedding day was truly a priority for them. The menu options for our summer wedding were just perfect, and I honestly wish that we could have had a bit of everything! On the day, as a bride on her wedding morning, I couldn’t have felt more cared for by the wonderfully attentive team at Donington Park Farmhouse. I hadn’t planned the dressing room very well, so my advice would be to double check with the team which room provides the most space for dressing if you are a bride with a bridal party! We had a lovely morning getting ready in our room with a countryside view, I was almost as excited for Alicja to see my in my dress as I was my husband-to-be! The ceremony went without a hitch and the event team totally saved the day at every opportunity. They were so flexible with us changing our reception to the outdoor courtyard at the last minute (literally after the wedding breakfast!!) as we realised we had fantastic sunshine after much ambiguity about the weather in the days leading up to the wedding. Our day truly couldn’t have gone any better, and we have received so many compliments from our guests regarding the venue, the team and the FOOD!!! Thank you so much, Donington Park Farmhouse and especially to the wonderful Alicja, for helping to make the day of our dreams a reality. I am eagerly awaiting an invitation to a wedding at your venue in the future!! Danielle & James Xx
We got married in July this year at Donington Park Farmhouse. We had the best day ever. The venue is beautiful. The team at Donington Park Farmhouse were amazing on the run up to the wedding and on the wedding. I couldn’t thank the staff enough. Wish we could do it all again!!
We had our wedding reception at Donington Park Farmhouse in June and it was truly the most perfect day. You spend a lot of time planning your dream wedding, it means so much to you, you live and breathe wedding planning every day in the lead up and you hope that by the time you hand it over to the staff, they will take as greater care of it as you have and we can honestly say, the staff at Donington really did. Our wedding planner Alicja helped with all the final details prior to our big day, and we felt we were in trusted hands by doing so. She was thorough and put lots of care into ensuring our day was as special as it was. On the day itself, the operations team were brilliant and made all the planning come to life and it really did go without a hitch! We look back on our day and couldn’t have wished for it to have gone any better, it had the seal of approval from our guests too.
Donington Farm House was exactly what we wanted. Intimate space for the ceremony and then the beautiful barn for the reception meant all out guests were easily accommodated without everyone being stuck in one room for the whole evening. The staff were fantastic before the big and and on the big day! Knew exactly what we needed and let us have space the day before to be able to drop things off and get prepared on the morning.
Our Wedding at Donington Park Farmhouse was fantastic. We cannot fault the team and how special they made our day. There's not a single person at our wedding who hasn't commented on the quality of the venue, the brilliance of the food and the perfect execution by the team. We would absolutely recommend Donington Park Farmhouse to any couples looking to get married.
We had the best wedding day at Donington, as soon as we met Alicja at our initial viewing we knew that not only was the venue perfect but also the people. The organisation from the venue was amazing and as 2 very unorganised people it was so good knowing the venue had everything under control. The team even created our very own Taylor Swift Eras themed cocktail menu for the day which was a massive hit! The day went so smoothly and we have had so many comments from our guests to say what an amazing setting it was, everybody had the best time and we can't thank you enough!
