Corporate meetings, client events, holiday parties, weddings and family celebrations for up to 250 guests can be held at The Englewood, a historic property in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, just outside Hershey. Its three spaces, a barn built in 1861, a tavern and a seasonal patio, are served by an in-house food and beverage team.
Seminars and company events
The Barn is the room for presentations. It has built-in audio and video, stage sound, adjustable lighting and a projector screen, with seating for up to 175 people. The Englewood lists corporate meetings, team gatherings, holiday parties and client events among the formats it hosts, and the Tavern works for a networking evening, a private dinner or a cocktail hour after a day of sessions. A dedicated events team handles planning and coordination, and event staff run the service on the day.
The Barn also hosts the venue's own concert calendar, with shows on several weekends a month in late autumn, so it pays to check dates early.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are offered as fully hosted events, with food, drink and staff provided by the venue. The Barn seats up to 175 for dinner or takes 250 for a standing reception, and the Patio can carry a cocktail hour from April through October. Bridal and baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, family reunions and memorial gatherings are also on the list.
Rooms and capacities
The Barn seats up to 175 guests and holds 250 for mingling events. It is the main room for weddings, presentations, seated dinners and large parties, and the only one with the full audio and video setup.
The Tavern seats up to 70 and takes 100 standing. It suits smaller gatherings, cocktail receptions, private dinners and casual networking, and it can be extended onto the patio.
The Patio seats up to 100 and takes 200 standing, with covered and open-air areas. It is available from April through October, depending on the weather.
Catering
Food and drink are handled in-house, and outside food and beverages are not permitted. The Farmhouse, the café on the same site, prepares chef-led, scratch-made dishes and also sells boxed meals, shareable platters and group catering for pickup every day, which can cover a working lunch held elsewhere. Event menus are planned with the events team.
History and setting
The Barn was built in 1861 and has been restored into a flexible event room. The property sits about two miles from Downtown Hershey, Hersheypark and the Giant Center, which makes it a practical evening venue for groups attending a conference in the area or staying in Hershey hotels. The Farmhouse, at 1215 West End Avenue, serves breakfast, lunch, coffee and happy hour during the week, and the Tavern serves dinner on concert nights.
Getting there
The event venue is at 1219 West End Avenue, Hummelstown, PA 17036, a few minutes by car from Hershey. Harrisburg, with its Amtrak station and Harrisburg International Airport, is the nearest hub for rail and air travel.
