PRIVATE HIRE
Marking a special moment. With drinks, delicious food and dancing the night away. With speeches and toasts, and dining in the glow of an autumn sunset. With winter walks, afternoon tea and an intimate dinner. Quieter months bring the chance to take over Farbridge, and make it a celebration to remember.
PLAY IT YOUR WAY
Dining for up to 150, or a smaller group of 22. With a dynamic kitchen ready to design your perfect menu and no corkage fee if you supply your own drinks. A dance floor with full sound system, and up to eight en-suite bedrooms on site.
