Somehow a decade has gone by and although you keep in touch with everyone when did you really catch up. That’s to say, when did you really have some time without distraction, away from day to day life and come together. Moreover, when did last get together like you used. The best 50th birthday ideas start with having the people you love close to you. So, why not invite them all to stay in your very own private country house mansion for a couple days. Although we feel like grand but intimate home, we can actually sleep 52-100 guests across our 21-42 bedrooms & suites. Is there a better way to celebrate that big five-oh?

At any birthday party it’s wonderful have some centre-piece moment where you are together and focused. Often, these times are when you & your friends are sharing meals together. As a result, we can create some incredible dining spaces for you. For example you can have picnics on the croquet lawn, gastronomic meals in the tapestry hung Diamond Room, tasting menus in the Library or just casual snacks in the Butler’s Pantry. Above all, our team is about adapting the property to your needs to create your home form home and a unique party.
What makes the best 50th birthday ideas are things that come from the heart and truly reflect you. So the food style should reflect that. Often our lead guests choose a food journey through their stay. A supermarket delivery for the Butler’s Pantry where people can informally help themselves to tea, coffee and snacks through the day. As a result you save dosh compared to staying at a hotel, and it is far more more cosy and intimate for your guests.
Next the lead guest often plans something casual for the first nigth when people arrive at different times and met and greet each other. For this we have created some amazing festival style food options. These include wood fired pizza nights, buffets, fish and chip van at the door – whatever you can imagine, we can help delivery the best 50th birthday ideas.
Lastly, often lead guests like the idea of marking the moment with a big formal dinner. For this reason we have a huge choice of fine dining ans silver service options. Plus you can even bring in your own private or Michelin starred chefs.
The most memorable moments aren’t always the formal ones. Yes, you remember the big birthday dinner. But, what’s just as important are the small moments. For example, the giggles with your loved ones in a quiet moment or friends reconnecting. Above all, it’s about taking time away from day to day distractions to create special time. For that reason, as everyone has traveled far and wide, why not stay for 2, 3 or more nights. So, you find the time to rekindle connections, celebrate the past and make new memories.

We are all about our property becoming your home. The more you relax, the more your friends relax and kick back. That’s why we are always exclusive use. As a result, you will never have strangers wandering around like in a hotel. This means you can all have breakfast int eh grand salons in your PJs if you want, or nip into the kitchen for midnight snacks. It also means you can staff it as you want. Some guests bolt on full staff so you don’t have to lift a finger. In contrast, others guests have no staffing or just some help to wash up so that it feels more like at home. It’s completely up to you. A great 50th birthday idea is to bring photos with you to put around the house so it feels more like your home. We even provide the picture frames!
