A Unique Worcestershire Setting for Unforgettable Events
Set within approximately 1,800 acres of private Worcestershire countryside, Severn End Estate offers a distinctive setting for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, retreats and intimate dining experiences.
Overlooking the River Severn and surrounded by farmland, woodland and views towards the Malvern Hills, the Estate combines the character of a historic country estate with the flexibility to create events that feel personal rather than prescribed.
From elegant gatherings at Severn End itself to outdoor celebrations, woodland dinners and fireside feasts, our approach is simple: beautiful surroundings, thoughtful hospitality and events created around you.
A country estate wedding, entirely your own
Severn End Estate provides an unforgettable backdrop for weddings in Worcestershire, with historic architecture, sweeping lawns, mature parkland and open countryside surrounding the family home.
Rather than offering a conventional wedding package, we work with couples to create individual celebrations that make the most of the Estate and its surroundings.
Whether you envisage an intimate gathering with close family, a marquee celebration overlooking the countryside or a relaxed weekend bringing friends and family together, Severn End offers the freedom to create something genuinely personal.
The central section of Severn End can also provide accommodation, allowing the house to become part of the occasion and giving guests the opportunity to experience staying within a historic English country estate.

Make the Estate yours for the occasion
Birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings and milestone celebrations deserve somewhere memorable.
Severn End Estate offers a flexible setting for private events ranging from intimate dinners to larger parties and outdoor celebrations.
Events can be centred around the house, gardens or wider Estate, with the surrounding countryside providing opportunities for relaxed daytime gatherings, formal dinners, live music, outdoor cooking and late-summer celebrations beneath the stars.
Every event is approached individually. We can provide the setting and work alongside trusted suppliers, chefs and event professionals to help shape the occasion around your requirements.
From champagne on the lawn to dinner cooked over an open fire, Severn End allows private events to feel less like a hired venue and more like being welcomed onto a private country estate.
Escape the boardroom
Bring your team together somewhere different.
Severn End Estate provides an inspiring rural setting for corporate away days, leadership meetings, client entertaining, strategy sessions and team events within easy reach of Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and the West Midlands.
The privacy and scale of the Estate allow businesses to combine productive working sessions with outdoor activities, hospitality and informal time together.
A corporate day might include morning meetings, lunch overlooking the Estate, an afternoon in the countryside and a private dinner to finish the day.

With farming, forestry, conservation, renewable energy and rural enterprise all taking place across Severn End, the Estate can also provide a particularly relevant environment for organisations interested in land management, sustainability, agriculture and the rural economy.
Space to think, reconnect and slow down
The landscape surrounding Severn End has been shaped by generations of farming and stewardship. With the River Severn nearby, extensive woodland, open farmland and the Malvern Hills on the horizon, it is a natural setting for retreats and small residential gatherings.
We welcome enquiries from businesses, chefs, creatives, wellbeing professionals and private groups looking for somewhere secluded in which to spend meaningful time together.
Retreats can combine accommodation with private dining, countryside walks, outdoor activities and use of carefully selected areas of the Estate.
Whether the purpose is strategic thinking, creative development, wellbeing or simply escaping everyday distractions, Severn End provides space in abundance.
No two retreats need to look the same. Depending on the occasion, a stay could include sunrise walks, long-table lunches, fireside dinners, woodland experiences and evenings spent together at the house.
A table worth finding
Hidden away within Severn End Estate, our Secret Supper Club brings together exceptional seasonal food, open-fire cooking and unusual locations across the Estate.
On selected evenings throughout the year, guests are invited to a dining experience where the location, menu and atmosphere are allowed to respond to the season.
One event might take place beside the woods. Another could be held within a historic part of the Estate or around a long table overlooking the Severn Valley.
The emphasis is on great ingredients, fire, simplicity and conviviality.
Menus are served as a set multi-course experience, with guest numbers deliberately limited to preserve the intimate nature of each evening.
Wherever possible, ingredients are chosen to reflect the Estate, the surrounding countryside and the best produce available from Worcestershire and neighbouring counties.
Expect generous cooking, large flames, shared tables and a setting quite unlike a conventional restaurant. Some evenings will feature guest chefs and collaborations, while others will be created entirely by the Severn End team. Locations may change.Menus will change. The experience should never feel exactly the same twice.
Places for Secret Supper Club evenings are released in limited numbers. Join our mailing list to receive first notice of new dates, menus, guest chefs and special events at Severn End Estate.
Severn End is not simply an event venue.
It is a living and working country estate that has been cared for by the Lechmere family for generations.
Across approximately 1,800 acres are farmland, woodland, historic buildings and stretches of countryside overlooking the River Severn and Malvern Hills.
That variety allows us to create events in places that would rarely be available at a conventional venue.
A dinner might take place beside woodland.
A wedding could unfold across the lawns.
A corporate group might spend the morning around a table and the afternoon exploring the Estate.
The landscape becomes part of the experience.
We deliberately do not operate from a long list of fixed event packages.
Severn End is at its best when the Estate is used creatively.

Weddings. Celebrations. Corporate gatherings. Retreats. Suppers.
All within one remarkable Worcestershire estate.
