Mapperton in Dorset
Beaminster, Dorset, DT8 3NR, Beaminster, Dorset
Up to 400 guests
Built in 1670, the Coach House at Mapperton is undergoing a complete renovation, and will reopen in May 2018 as an events space which can accommodate up to 120 seated guests.
This spectacular building is part of one of Dorset’s most important manorial complexes, and has a Grade 1 listing with Historic England. Steeped in local history, it has had many functions over the centuries – as a coach house, stables, a sawmill and most recently one of the locations for the 2015 romantic hit ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’. Guests will enjoy spotting the remaining elements of the set.
The meticulous renovation will retain all of the historic features, including exposed stonework, lath & plaster surfaces and full height ceilings with original trusses and cross-beams. A new biomass heating system will ensure plenty of warmth on colder days, while a 4K projector, professional sound system and controllable lighting will bring the venue in the the 21st century.
Alongside the main space is a second large room which contains a fully-stocked & licensed bar, as well as an area for guests seeking a break from the festivities.
While the Coach House will impress with its historic features and enduring charm, it is an entirely flexible space which can be decorated in a myriad of styles, whether you are going for a vintage theme or perhaps a more classical look.

Dillington House
Dillington House Ilminster, TA19 9DT, Somerset, Somerset
Dillington House dates back to the sixteenth century, and is the former home of Prime Minister Lord North.
In the early nineteenth century, the House was remodelled in the so-called Jacobethan style and is now rated Grade 2* by English Heritage. The Mews building was constructed in 1875, while 2009 saw the opening of The Hyde - a spectacular example of contemporary architecture, overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Once a family home, since 1950 Dillington has served the South West region as a centre for adult education, for conferences and business meetings, and more recently as a beautiful venue for weddings and social events. Few people know that Dillington was a national centre for training for British Rail from the 1950s to the early 1970s. In 1995 Dillington became the second venue in Somerset to be licensed for Civil Ceremonies and today weddings of all descriptions form an important part of our business.
Dillington's idyllic setting amid mature parkland makes it the perfect place to learn, relax, and get away from the pressures of everyday life. Our accommodation is first rate - confirmed by the award of a prestigious Five Star rating by VisitEngland's National Quality Assurance Standard Campus Scheme. Add to this delicious cuisine, friendly staff and a diverse programme of courses and events, and Dillington House stands out as a special place.
There is ample free parking across the site, with disabled parking available in front of the Mews building.
We have excellent facilities for people with disabilities, but it is always wise to let us know of any special requirements. That way, we can ensure that all of your needs are catered for in advance.
