"We recently celebrated our son's first birthday at the Church hall. Absolutely beautiful venue, wonderful customer service, could not recommend highly enough. We were allowed to decorate the venue how we wanted and also had a bouncy castle and ball pit which all the kids loved. Thank you Hannah and team, your beautiful Estate has so much to offer."

"We recently had my daughters fairy themed 4th Birthday in the Old Church Hall at the Busy Peacock. Such a gorgeous venue and the perfect size for 20 kids + parents. Hannah and the team were great to work with, super responsive to emails and accommodating to my extra requests. Jess, who was our party coordinator on the day, was wonderful assisting with set up, getting coffees for the parents and most importantly cutting the three tiered birthday cake like a total professional! Thank you for having us 💜🧚🏻‍♀️"

"Thank you for everything!!! The party was amazing, thank you for all your care, effort and help before, during and after the event. Our vision of Roman Holiday/Italian party came to life thanks to having such a great and versatile venue. Everyone loved the Peacock estate. What a great night we all had!"

"This was a stunning venue for a friends wedding. Large spaces throughout including a Chapel where we had tables to sit down to eat and a kids' room to help keep the little ones occupied. A comforting rustic feel in the shed next door for a nice retreat from the weather as it did rain on the day. The bar was so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend for a wedding venue it made it such a special night."
