Donington Park Farmhouse - Derby

We had our wedding at Donington Park Farmhouse in July 2024 and we couldn’t fault anything about our day - except it went too quick. The team there ensured the whole day went as smoothly as possible. It was simply the best day ever.

We always love returning for events in the Stack yard, Wreath Making workshops and Christmas Markets, too! We can’t get enough!

I have given the rooms a four star rating, but i am being really picky. USB charging ports in the room sockets would have been advantageous as I had forgotten to bring a socket. The silicone around the shower was in a couple of places showing aging. that's all the negatives.
On arrival the staff were very welcoming and efficient and accommodating. The heating in the room was just right and the bed was very comfortable. Nice to see the bathroom light had a motion sensor and came on when the door was opened. Shower was good. For dinner we ate elsewhere and again the staff gave excellent recommendations on local gastro pubs. Breakfast was superb. A special mention to Laura who was exceptional in her warmness and made us feel completely at home. Local knowledge of walks, as we had 2 dogs with us was much appreciated. A true asset to the business. Excellent value for money.

Beautiful place. The staff were fab and couldnt do enough for you. The breakfast was delicious and the room was massive. Only thing was the stairs were very windy and they scared the kids a bit. They are the old style with holes in type stairs. Enjoyed my stay though. The drinks were very reasonably priced as well. The setting is lovely and bigger than it looks.

The most amazing wedding venue!! ||The staff were incredible and even sorted out a few ‘extras’ surprises I had in store our day. The venue is also absolutely beautiful and doesn’t need much ‘decorating’ to make the day your own. |The bedroom was comfy, breakfast was nice and they were also quick to ring me to tell me that I’d actually left some items in the room||They also helped us find our dj - DJ Daz, who’s on their recommended support list who had to fill in when we’d been let down by a previous DJ, Daz sorted us out with 3 weeks to go and was incredible for the night ||We had so many compliments from guests about the day, venue and DJ ||I’d absolutely recommend this place as a wedding venue

The most beautiful venue and on top of that, the most amazing staff. The girls that were there for me on the day were incredible and kept checking in to see if there was anything i needed. Throughout wedding planning, the team always responded in a timely manner and answered any questions we had. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire team. Donington Park Farmhouse will always have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you everyone for making our dream wedding come true 🤍

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue than Donington Park Farmhouse for our wedding! The rustic charm of the setting was absolutely stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for our day.

The food was simply amazing, our guests loved the sharing boards, the venison haunch was cooked to perfection, and the sticky toffee pudding was divine.

From start to finish, the wedding coordinators were incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. The bar was well-priced, and the staff were both fun and professional. The entire day went off without a hitch—absolutely flawless!

We always wanted a cosy winter wedding, and this stunning venue was just perfect for it. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the cosy bar area with its array of comfy seating and crackling fire place. We chose to have our ceremony in the breathtaking Threshing Barn which was the perfect backdrop to our wintry wedding. The venue has lots of comfy seating areas so kids can find comfy corners to relax whilst grown ups fill the dance floor in the evening. Our band were thrilled with the big stage and the acoustics in the barn. It was all just perfect! When we first visited Donington Park Farmhouse, we knew it would be our perfect venue. To make this even better, the staff who work there have been outstanding. We have had constant contact from the events team, especially Alicja, who answered all our questions and responded quickly to emails. Milly ran our day and she was fantastic, regularly checking in with myself and the groom to check we were having a great day. She went above and beyond, even sitting with a page boy who fell asleep so that his parents could join us for group photos. We had a lot of picky eaters and children at our wedding, but the food was outstanding. We’ve had so many compliments on the wedding breakfast (we went for the BBQ) and on the evening buffet. I loved the Pig Sties for our wedding breakfast - it was quirky and cosy and there was lots of space for all guests. The bar area was beautiful and guests said the drinks were reasonably priced. We could play our own playlists in each room too! Breakfast the next morning was equally delicious - we had very happy guests. The venue is gorgeous, set in the beautiful countryside with stunning views all around. Having so many rooms available on site was a huge bonus, and our guests said their rooms were all cosy, clean and spacious. In addition, East Midlands airport is an 8 minute drive away so any guests who needed accommodation offsite were spoilt for choice. Furthermore, the car park was huge! There were loads of outdoor areas and stunning courtyards for summer weddings as well if that’s your style. Honestly could not recommend this venue enough! I’m just so sad it’s all over!

Absolutely perfect stay, brilliant accommodation and staff couldn't have been any more flexible or helpful. Very highly recommended. We will not hesitate to stay again!
