Moignes Court is a Grade I listed medieval manor house in Dorset, dating from 1267, set in 30 acres with a private woodland, ancient ponds and a Scheduled Monument. It can be hired for retreats, workshops, creative weekends and family gatherings, either as the manor alone or as the whole site. Groups of up to 30 are accommodated for intimate gatherings and educational events, with up to 28 guests in individual beds.
Seminars and company events
The venue hire page offers the place for retreats, family gatherings, creative weekends, workshops and special celebrations. Because guests can have single beds, the site says it suits retreats and group stays where people do not want to share. The house and its glamping accommodation take groups of up to 30 for intimate gatherings and educational events.
Hirers can take only the manor, with its private garden and front lawn and shared use of the communal gardens and woodland, or the whole venue with exclusive use of the grounds. There is no conference equipment or meeting room listed, so the offer suits residential retreats, writing or creative groups and small leadership days.
Weddings and receptions
The pages provided do not offer weddings. The site refers to special celebrations and family gatherings, and the whole venue can be booked for a private occasion.
