Baby shower venues for hire in the New Forest
The New Forest Collection hotels each offer delightful options suitable for anyone organising a baby shower in the New Forest.
First up, there’s Grade II listed Bartley Lodge, a fabulous country house hotel near Lyndhurst. Magnificent grounds are perfect for summertime gatherings and picnics, whilst the bright, airy and elegant Orangery is ideal for more intimate gatherings, as is the gorgeous Georgian room. Both rooms can be decorated in the colour scheme or theme of your choice, and overlook the incredible gardens. There’s also direct access to the large stone terrace which is perfect for a delectable afternoon tea event.
If you’re looking for a one of the more contemporary baby shower venues, boutique townhouse hotel Forest Lodge near Lyndhurst is an ideal choice. The Forest Suite is perfect for opening presents, games and dinner, and its pretty courtyard garden makes a picture-perfect spot for a decadent afternoon tea, bubbles and mocktails.
Beaulieu Inn is another fantastic baby shower venue, characterful and quirky, and located right in the midst of the wild open heath. It’s the largest of all the hotels, able to accommodate up to 120 guests within its elegant and spacious Beaulieu Suite, or if you’re inviting a larger group of family and friends to celebrate with you at your baby shower, up to 250 for a standing canape reception.
The beautifully decorated Ipley or Exbury rooms at Beaulieu are more intimate, comfortably hosting up to 80 guests, and both have access to the beautiful gardens.
Burley Manor, set within an 800 year-old estate, is also spectacular, and is a wonderfully versatile venue ideal for a baby shower. The historic drawing room or conservatory, both with stunning views over the neighbouring deer park, are ideal for dinner or a baby-bump brunch.
Dinner at the chef’s table in the Butler’s Pantry is the ultimate treat for an intimate baby shower location with close friends, and the indulgent spa facilities at Burley could be just the thing for some pre-baby pampering!
