HEN PARTY, GROUP STAYS & CELEBRATIONS
There's a world of difference between booking somewhere to stay and having an entire celebration created around you. At Upper Farm, we specialise in luxury hen parties, exclusive group stays and private celebrations — bringing together extraordinary spaces, beautiful dining, fabulous drinks and unforgettable experiences in the heart of the Notswolds.
With years of experience creating events, parties and hospitality experiences across Europe and South America, we know that the difference between a good celebration and an extraordinary one lies in creative vision, unforgettable atmosphere and the details nobody else thinks of. From the moment you arrive, we can curate your entire stay — poolside cocktails, private chefs, Brazilian BBQs, wellness treatments, cocktail masterclasses, live DJs, saxophonists and beautiful evenings around the table. Every detail thoughtfully arranged, every experience designed around your group.
Whether it's a sophisticated hen weekend, milestone birthday, reunion or a celebration simply because life is worth celebrating, Upper Farm offers something wonderfully different. The privacy of your own English Country Estate, the hospitality of a luxury boutique hotel and the freedom to enjoy every moment without worrying about the arrangements. You bring your favourite people. We'll make it extraordinary.
