Newsletter 2025

We would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2026.

As we come to the end of 2025, we look back over the past 12 months, we smile and raise a glass to all those who have visited, celebrated and married here at Haughley Park. Your events have filled the estate with energy, joy and countless special moments, it is fair to say that 2025 has been another busy and memorable year!

The Barn was once again bursting at the seams with love and laughter, as couples celebrated their weddings surrounded by family and friends. It never fails to amaze us how each celebration through its theme, flowers, decor and music, becomes a completely unique expression of the newlyweds. We cannot wait to see what 2026 brings!

Rob and the gardening team have once again worked their magic across the grounds. The kitchen garden looked spectacular throughout the year, offering a beautiful and ever-changing backdrop for photographs, we were continually delighted to see whatever popped up next.

Across the wider estate, the grounds team have been equally hard at work, removing dead trees, keeping everything safe and beautiful, and even teaming up with local scouts for this year’s replanting. The scouts will be able to look back one day and say, “We planted those trees!” what a lovely story to share with the grandchildren.

Exciting news… We were thrilled to welcome the tiniest new member of the Haughley Park family this year: Ayla, baby daughter of Laura from our Venue Team. Born in early September, she has already stolen everyone’s hearts. Congratulations to Laura and her lovely family! We look forward to having her back with the team next year (Laura, that is, not the baby… although we wouldn’t say no).

Some events to look forward to… Our much-loved Bluebell Sundays return in spring, offering peaceful woodland walks followed by hot tea and cakes that somehow disappear faster every year.

May brings Weird and Wonderful Wood, a marvellously quirky celebration of all things wooden, with lots of entertainment and activities for the kids.

June means Alive & VDubbin, when VW enthusiasts gather to show off their pride and joy, enjoy great food, and crank up the music.

In August, Potfest returns, an extraordinary craft fair full of ceramics that will wow, delight, and probably convince you that yes, you do have space for yet another handmade mug.

More details will be on our social media and website in the coming months!

The Williams family and the entire estate team wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We cannot wait to welcome you back to Haughley Park in 2026!
