Whether you’re planning a relaxed family gathering or a larger celebration for a milestone birthday, Monkton Barn Estate offers a characterful and versatile countryside venue for private parties of all kinds. Our all-seasons venue sits in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, just outside Marlow, set within ten acres of gently rolling meadows. Our indoor and outdoor spaces provide the flexibility to host everything from milestone birthdays to anniversary celebrations and special occasions.

TAILORED TO YOU

Every private celebration at Monkton is shaped around your ideas and we can guide as much or as little as you like. Our experienced events team works closely with you to plan each element – from layout and styling to entertainment and dining – ensuring your party feels personal and well considered.

We take pride in our attention to detail and our calm, thoughtful approach, offering genuine care and practical support throughout the planning process. The result is a celebration that runs smoothly and leaves a lasting, joyful impression on you and your guests.

A CHOICE OF SPACES

Monkton offers a choice of  beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, each bringing together rural character and contemporary comfort. Celebrate in our beautifully restored threshing barn, where original beams and architectural details give the space its sense of place, or choose a marquee on our Wildflower Meadow for relaxed outdoor gatherings with open views across the surrounding Chiltern Hills.

Each space has been thoughtfully arranged to encourage easy conversation and a natural flow, allowing guests to mingle comfortably and enjoy the atmosphere throughout the day and evening.

FOOD & DRINK TO SUIT YOUR CELEBRATION

At Monkton, we like dining to feel relaxed and enjoyable.

Using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, every dish is made with care, packed with flavour and beautifully presented, giving you and your guests a meal to remember.

Our fully stocked bars have earned a reputation for keeping guests well refreshed, and we have well-chosen wine list. Payments can be made by card, cash, or pre-arranged in advance for convenience. Drinks are served wherever they’re needed, whether from Monkton’s Bar in the barn or the Meadow Bar on the Wildflower Meadow, ensuring every guest can enjoy a drink without missing a moment of the celebration.

At Monkton Barn Estate, we offer flexible, fully tailored services to bring your vision to life.
