Shaw End is a popular venue for family occasions such as reunions, special Birthdays, Anniversaries and, of course, the largest of all, Weddings. The house can sleep up to eighteen guests.

 The ground floor of the house can be arranged to seat guests to dinner or a buffet & the large hall is a useful area for entertainment or for dancing.

MARQUEES
The gardens to the side of Shaw End are large enough to accommodate a marquee & extra toilet facilities.

Extra parking can be arranged in the field at the front of the house.

CATERING
Guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery either from the comfort of the house & gardens or with a stroll down the field to the river & woods. The level banks of the river in front of the house make it a perfect spot for a grand family picnic or barbeque.  Some of our guests even arranged a hog roast for the wedding party by the river to entertain the family & friends on the day following the wedding!
