Newgate Street · Hertfordshire

A countryside estate,
made for gathering.

Two hundred acres of parkland, a grand ballroom, private dining pods and a neoclassical manor. A place for weddings, celebrations and slower weekends.

The estate

Historic character,
quietly brought up to date.

The Ponsbourne is a 19th-century neoclassical manor set in 200 acres of gardens, lawns and mature woodland. Today it is a place for every kind of occasion.

Inside, elegant rooms and a 400-seat ballroom sit alongside fifteen meeting rooms and a restaurant. Outside, the terrace gives way to private pods, lawns and long views across the park.

It is a place that can hold a wedding for hundreds or a dinner for two with the same care.

The Pods

Dinner, inside your own bubble.

Each pod is a private room with a view: a curved glass table for two, soft lighting and the park beyond. Menus move with the seasons, drawing on bold Indian flavours and modern classics.

  • 01

    A pod of your own. Private, heated and candlelit, whatever the weather.

  • 02

    Menus with a point of view. Seasonal plates, Indian spice and a considered drinks list.

  • 03

    Your soundtrack. Bluetooth your own playlist and settle in.

  • 04

    Styled for the occasion. Proposals, birthdays and anniversaries, with décor to match.

Weddings

One estate.
Every tradition.

From a Hindu mandap on the lawn to a Chuppah in the garden, a Walima in the ballroom or an intimate dinner in a pod, the estate adapts to the celebration you have in mind. Our team handles the detail; you keep the day.

Dry hire and curated packages, catering designed around your menu, and ample parking for guests.

Amazing ambience, decent food. The pod was warm and cosy, very clean. The starters and mains were excellent. Service was good too, with a calm and positive vibe in the area.
