Eleven Eighty is often hired as an event space for weddings and special occasions. When there is availability, we offer the property on a stay basis. Groups staying at the property have access to the courtyard, fire pit, BBQ area and the gardens but will not have access to the commercial spaces ie the school hall, train carriage and barn/bar area. Access to these areas turns a booking into a commercial event. If you are interested in booking this venue for an event, please contact
