Milden Hall barn – Conferences, training, film location, music camps

Built in the late 16th century, Milden Hall barn and garden provide a beautiful tucked away rural location on an environmentally friendly farm for those who want a conference or training venue that has real character and something a little different.

“Milden Hall preserves one of the finest 17th century farmyards in the country” (Leigh Alston, Timber-framed building expert 2003)

The aisled barn has been used for seminars, training days, corporate lunches, team-building days, art society weekends, wedding receptions, fashion shows, TV commercials, film location, school environmental days and nativity plays! The Hall (left) is used for small group training days and breakfast meetings.

The large garden (right) with roses, honeysuckle, lavender and copper beech, tulip and Judas trees provides a beautiful place for a wander at lunch-time and tea breaks, or even lunch on a sunny day.

Catering can be provided in-house or you may use your own caterers and our kitchen facilities.

• Hire of barn, garden, lavatories and car parking for up to 150 guests.
• Use of all barn furniture ie oak and trestle tables, benches and chairs.
