About this space

Swarling Manor is a historic country estate made up of restored agricultural buildings. The estate centres on several converted barns that form the main event spaces.

Design: The main covered space presents a lined ceiling, chandeliers and timber plank flooring that create a clean, structured backdrop. Arched side openings and pale linings allow abundant natural light and an open, linear layout.

Features: A PA system and fixed speakers are available, and the venue permits own music or a brought-in DJ subject to a noise restriction. On-site Wi‑Fi, step-free guest access and accessible toilets support mobility needs. Event teams can use the hard-floor surface for dancing or temporary staging.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, adaptable mix of seated dining and standing social time that moves between covered and outdoor areas.
