Mark your milestones in the woods

Exclusive private hire of 120 acres of Cotswold woodland

Perfect for private parties, retreats, and gatherings of up to 60 people, set within 120 acres of ancient private woodland.

Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an annual gathering of friends, or any excuse for a get together, Oak & Ash & Thorn offers an unusual and special setting for celebrations and reflections. It’s natural, unique and a wonderful playground.

You can celebrate in a way that can be both an adventure into the wild and personal to you and your friends.

We host:

• chill outdoor parties

• life celebration gatherings

• quiet gatherings and retreats

• adventures, as long as they don’t damage the woods

The Vibe

We keep it simple. A bonfire and birdsong. Play some gentle tunes, relax, and enjoy the company of the trees and wild animals. Your guests can unwind, share stories around the fire, and enjoy the woods at their own pace. This is a space that encourages reflection and genuine connection.

• Or just let the woods be the main event, with hammocks and quiet walks.

  Absolutely. We can recommend local caterers who fit the natural vibe, including those who can do firepit cookouts in the woods

• Acoustic music works beautifully here but we can sort out special corners for music, chill disco or silent disco. Just no all-night raves: the owls like to rule the airwaves after 11pm
