Residential Hire

Events at Milton Abbey

RESIDENTIAL HIRE

Milton Abbey is available as a venue for residential hire during School holiday periods, for groups of between 20 and 200 guests.

We offer fully catered week-long (or multiple weeks), midweek and weekend packages with the total duration bespoke to suit you and your group. This includes:

  • Accommodation (with bed linen and towels)
  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • Use of the School’s facilities at allocated times (swimming pool, gym, golf course, tennis courts, sports hall)
  • Use of various rooms and spaces for meetings and classes

Smaller groups will be allocated one of five residential houses – which can each accommodate around 40 people – but may have shared meal times and joint use of communal areas of the site. For larger groups, exclusive occupancy may be available.

We had a truly fantastic time at Milton Abbey for our Rabble Weekend Away. The facilities were absolutely incredible, from the tennis courts, football pitches and swimming pool to the excellent sports hall and gym. It was the perfect setting for our group of 60 people, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Working with Ed, Stu, and Wale was an absolute joy; they made everything so easy for us. Their professionalism and friendly support allowed us to focus on making the event a success. The catering staff were so friendly and helpful too. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
