Of course you can! Just go to our birthday party page for more information.

Is Old Down Country Park at the same place as Old Down Manor?

Yes it’s the same place, although guests attending an event at The Manor use the entrance closest to Alveston Road. (It’s locked when there isn’t an event on). For information on The Manor, please visit olddownestate.co.uk/weddings

Do I have to pay park entry to use The Barn Cafe?

During peak time we do not offer just the use of the cafe, admission fees will apply.
