Celebration of Life at Lillibrooke Manor
A private, tranquil setting to gather with friends and family, and celebrate a life well lived.

Time together, to remember
Lillibrooke Manor offers a private and tranquil location to hold an after-funeral wake or celebration of life gathering, where friends and family can come together to honour the life of someone who has passed away.
Every gathering is different, and it’s entirely up to you and your family what happens on the day. Whether you’re looking for a fully inclusive celebration of life or a fuss-free gathering with food and drinks shared together, our team can support you every step of the way.
Private, flexible spaces
The Small Barn and Cloister Garden offer an intimate, private courtyard setting, recommended for gatherings of under 50 guests. For larger gatherings, the Great Barn and Engine House provide an atmospheric beamed space with bar and patio, recommended for over 50 guests.
Both settings include private use of the grounds, AV and sound system, and high-speed Wi-Fi, so your gathering can take place exactly as you’d like it to.

Food & refreshments
Our chefs prepare a choice of menus to suit your budget, from a simple sandwich selection through to a fuller catering spread – with tea, coffee and still water always included, and a bar available for guests who wish to raise a glass.
Menus start from £35 per person, with a minimum spend of £1,700 including VAT, which includes exclusive hire of your chosen space.

Support, every step of the way
Once you’ve spoken with a member of our team to secure a date, we’ll help confirm guest numbers and timings, talk you through our menu and drinks selection, and take care of every detail – so you can focus on what matters.
Luxury onsite accommodation in the Manor House is also available to book separately, direct through Hestian Stays.

We're here to help you plan a fitting celebration.
