The Spaces
Barton Court offers a series of distinct working environments across the estate — from the formal rooms of the Manor House to the flexible barn spaces and surrounding grounds.
Each space supports a different rhythm of work, allowing organisers to structure events with clarity and flow.
The Manor House
The Manor House provides a more formal setting within the estate. Its defined rooms suit structured sessions, board discussions and hosted dining.
On-site accommodation allows programmes to extend beyond a single day without off-site logistics.
The house can be used independently or alongside the barns, enabling events to move between more formal and more open working environments.
The Barns
The barns offer adaptable, open-plan environments suited to workshops, collaborative sessions and group work.
Because layouts are flexible, furniture can be arranged to suit the structure of the day — from theatre-style presentations to breakout tables or long-table dining.
The barns can be used independently or integrated with the house, depending on the scale and flow of the programme.
The Grounds
The 7-acre grounds add depth and breathing space to the estate. Garden rooms, lawns and orchard areas provide opportunities for informal discussion, breakout sessions or time away from the table.
The surrounding landscape reinforces the sense of containment and privacy, supporting focused work without interruption.
