Every gathering is different, and it is entirely up to you and your family what happens on the day. Whether you envision a fully inclusive celebration of life or a simple, fuss-free gathering, Lillibrooke Manor provides a warm and tranquil space where your loved one’s memory can be celebrated with the care and dignity they deserve.
We offer two beautiful settings to suit gatherings of all sizes:
The Small Barn & Cloister Garden — a peaceful and intimate setting, recommended for gatherings of up to 50 guests.
The Great Barn & Engine House — a warm and expansive space, recommended for larger gatherings of over 50 guests.
Both spaces offer private use of the grounds, AV and sound system, high-speed Wi-Fi, tea and coffee station, still water station and ample free parking.
All catering is provided by our exclusive catering and event management partner, Heritage Venues, who will support you throughout the planning process with warmth and sensitivity.

If you and your family would like to stay overnight, Manor House accommodation is available to book separately via Hestian Stays.
“From my first meeting with Laura and then the two amazing event managers on the night, Nicole and Gemma, to the waiting and bar staff through to the food that was delivered, the whole team helped to make a family celebration exceptional. I have been in the Events industry for over 30 years and the team at Lillibrooke blew me away. So many wonderful comments on the night about great food and attentive service.” — Graham
“Thank you. Laura, Gemma and you along with the team on the day were excellent. From start to finish it was professional yet warm and friendly, nothing was an issue and it was seamless. Everyone complimented the venue, food and staff. I miss my sole mate more than you know, but from the bottom of my heart thank you.” – Andy
I just want to write and say thanks to you and all the team at Lillibrooke for ensuring that our evening was a huge success. Everyone was impressed by how beautiful the barn looked and the slick service and quality of the food and attention to detail were all excellent.
