The partner's word

It offers a tranquil escape just an hour from London Euston and equidistant from Milton Keynes and Northampton. The venue blends workspace and wellness, with thoughtfully restored spaces including a large open event room with a walled garden and terrace, a Georgian farmhouse boardroom, and multiple outdoor gathering spots. The ambiance is calm and natural, enhanced by access to a wild sauna, cold plunge, swimming lake, yoga studio, tennis court, and extensive walking trails designed for relaxation and reconnection with nature. The venue hosts one group per day, ensuring privacy and a relaxed pace. The Grafton House Event Space features a 260-square-metre indoor area with five glass arches opening onto a 750-square-metre sunken terrace and walled garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience full of natural light. The restored farmhouse meeting room offers a refined, calm setting with natural light and parkland views, equipped for hybrid meetings with modern AV technology. The Shire is ideal for corporate retreats, leadership offsites, workshops, private dinners, product launches, and wellness-focused events. Catering is available on-site or via trusted external suppliers, with menus focused on nourishing, seasonal food. The estate’s natural beauty and understated elegance provide a memorable backdrop for weddings and celebrations, with exclusive use of the venue and its facilities. The Shire’s family-owned, gradually rewilded grounds offer a unique blend of nature and comfort, perfect for events that seek a personal, grounded, and beautifully unique atmosphere.
