We all dream of a truly magical Christmastime and if you're planning a festive shindig, whether it be for friends, family or colleagues, check out The Conservatory at Luton Hoo Estate Walled Garden for a setting that's like something out of a film.
Set in Bedfordshire's stunning countryside, Luton Hoo Estate dates back to the 1700s and across this grand site you'll find a picturesque six-acre octagonal walled garden, which has long been home to a spectrum of botanicals as well as vegetables and fruits for the main house. Today, it is where you'll find The Conservatory, a purpose-built party venue right in the middle of these idyllic gardens, perfect for Christmas parties.
The space has a marquee-like form with billowing, cream-toned ceiling overhead. The floor layout can be reconfigured to your needs, with a capacity of 250 people for seated dinners and 400 for standing affairs or buffets. The Conservatory is available to hire any day of the week and includes in-built toilets, a fully equipped kitchen for all your catering needs, a cloakroom space and a heating and cooling system. You'll also benefit from your own personal party planner who can help you choose catering and decorate the space, although we think you'll love the complimentary mood lighting system and beautiful Starlight ceiling.
You can plan all sorts of entertainment thanks to the integrated sound system for a DJ and there's plenty of space for a live band, too. What about a realistic Santa Claus to greet your guests and give out presents? Or a whole host of decorations to turn the space into a real life winter wonderland? When it comes to food, the team can't provide catering in house but they do know lots of brilliant catering services and would love to give you some advice on who to go with.
