Tucked just off the Hampshire Threshing Barn, the Hen House is a cosy little hideaway that’s perfect for smaller gatherings. It can seat up to 18 people around the table for a meeting, or serve as a charming breakout space for drinks and coffee when using the Hampshire Threshing Barn (which seats up to 60). With comfy seating and its own fully licensed bar, it’s ideal for welcome drinks, informal catch-ups or a quiet moment to recharge.

Surrounded by countryside views, it’s an inspiring space for al fresco dining, team socials or relaxed networking. At the heart of the barn is our outdoor kitchen, complete with a bespoke grill, wood-fired pizza oven and Kamado Joe BBQ – perfect for open-air cooking, laid-back feasting, and a touch of culinary theatre.

Gardens

Our beautiful, landscaped gardens and surrounding grounds offer space to breathe, reset and reconnect. Ideal for outdoor meetings, wellness walks or breakout activities, the central lawn and kitchen garden sit at the heart of the site, with rolling fields and woodland stretching out beyond. The sweeping drive and open views also make it a favourite for photoshoots and product showcases – with Lamborghini recently taking a spin across the fields for a dramatic shoot moment. However you use them, the gardens bring fresh air and fresh thinking to every event.

Seated capacity: unlimited
