Park House Hotel in rural West Sussex is a stunning venue hire option designed for groups who want the full country house experience. Located close to the market towns of Midhurst, Petworth, Petersfield and Chichester, the hotel sits within an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers exclusive-use takeovers for everything from corporate away days to milestone celebrations.
At Park House you aren't short on space: it's spread across a small estate, giving you that 'lord of the manor' feel. There are 23 country-house style bedrooms, alongside cottages and annexes dotted around the gardens, making it easy to keep guests together without everyone feeling on top of one another. This layout works particularly well for multi-day events, where guests can dip in and out of shared moments while still having their own space.
For corporate bookings, the dedicated boardroom can be hired alongside The Barn, creating a flexible hub for meetings, workshops and strategy sessions. Outside, the grounds open things up further, with lawns and terraces that lend themselves to team-building, informal breakout sessions or simply a change of scenery. When work is done, it's time for some play and activities help with team bonding: grass tennis courts, a par-3 golf course, croquet lawn, outdoor pool and spa facilities all encourage groups to properly unwind and get to know each other.
Food is catered in house with an on-site kitchen that allows for all-day dining. There's menus for every time of day, from breakfast to afternoon tea and even bespoke banquets, especially prepared for your event. The gastro concept focuses on classic dishes made with locally sourced produce, which suits both formal meals and more relaxed, communal dining.
For personal celebrations, Park House comes into its own as a private country house. Exclusive hire allows hosts to take over the entire estate, turning it into a setting for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements or retirement parties that unfold over several days rather than a single night. Guests can organise tennis tournaments in summer, enjoy the grounds year-round, or simply treat the house as a home from home where celebrations naturally stretch from morning into night.
