The Castle and Park -
Major Functions
Knepp Castle - designed
by John Nash, the architect of the Brighton
Pavilion - overlooks a stunning, expansive
lake at the heart of the 3,500 acre Knepp
Estate.
The Castle is set in a 700 acre park
now frequented by free-ranging fallow deer,
Exmoor ponies, longhorn cattle and Tamworth
pigs.
While the Castle itself,
as a family home, is not available for hire,
it is often used as the scenic backdrop for
large occasions such as polo events, charity
functions, craft fairs and company fun days
held in and around the park.
Rates vary and are by
negotiation through the Estate Office (01403
741235).
Polo & Events
Knepp Castle Polo Club
provides a superb venue for corporate
entertaining.
It is often used by companies looking
for novel ways to thank staff and their
families for their contribution to the
success of a company, or to mark a
prestigious point in the company’s
development such as an anniversary, office
opening or a large contract confirmation.
A Family Fun Day is
perfect for this kind of occasion and all
sorts of additional features can be provided
as side-attractions to the main event of a
sponsored polo match, including activities
to keep children amused and entertained.
Bookings can be made
through the Knepp Castle Polo Club 01403 741007, or
take the link to their website. www.kneppcastlepoloclub.co.uk
Weddings
Springwood
Lake is the perfect spot for a marquee
wedding reception and we have been working
with Beautiful World Tents to provide venues
for many happy couples in this lovely
lakeside location.
Rates
start at £1250 for the venue for a group of
about 100, and we can add on loos &
catering facilities if required.
There is
ample parking, and some couples have camped
in the park to add to the
experience.
For the
more flamboyant, there is plenty of space
for helicopters & hot-air balloons.
Enquiries can be made through the Estate
Office (01403 741235).
The Bothy -
Management Training Days, Conferences &
Meetings
Originally a Victorian
cow shed and later a shoot lunch hut, the
Bothy sits in woods in the heart of the Deer
Park overlooking Springwood Lake.
In 2001, this woodland
building became available as a training
centre, conference facility & meeting
room for groups of up to 40 (or more with a
marquee). It has a main room and two
break-out rooms plus kitchen fitted to the
highest catering standards and a set of four
WCs.
The Bothy is a wonderful
venue for any company seeking something more
adventurous and out of the ordinary. Deer, pigs, longhorn cattle and ponies wander freely in this
part of the park and the Bothy’s secluded
location, in the heart of a wood, provides a
unique and enjoyable atmosphere.
We
can assist with local caterers and any other
requirements. The adjacent Springwood
lake can be used for water and other
activities in conjunction with the Bothy,
& both are available to hire on a daily
basis through the Estate Office (01403
741235).
