Hi Guys

Im trying to plan a 40th for next year and I want to find something along the M4 corridor which meets the following criteria.

wll hold 150-200 people
ability to have a marquee/stage with bands outside
allows people to camp but also has accomodation for 50 or so on site or very near for those not wishing to camp./motorhome in sept
has a reasionaly cheap bar or will allow us to bring ina a local brewery to run a bar
child friendly
reasonably priced ( Ive already had Babington suggested!)

I wantt o have a 2 day 40th with some bands and make it affordbale for people to come and camp if they want to. Ideally M4 corridor as I have friends from around the UK and althougha friend ahs a farm in Devon that would be too far to convice some of my mates from London/Brighton to travel with kids etc. To giev you an idea, he has a remote farm where people can camp and a large barn which could be used as a band venue / get out of the rain place to go. As wel as that there are 2 B&Bs next door and a static caravan site within 200 metres which would be handy for the non campers.

Thanks

Owen give Oaksy park a ring http://www.oakseypark.co.uk/ there just down the road from me.

They have most of the above and you can rent the cottages for a reasonable amount at the same time.

Went to a do there with a marque outside and a band etc which was good.

Cheers

Neil

Friends of ours had a party earlier this year at Wick Bottom Barn which is at Rockley, North of Marlborough and about 10-15 minutes from both Junction 15 and Junction 16 of the M4.

Its got a field around it for camping and motorhome parking and there are multiple hotels in Marlborough/Swindon for the rest.

Otherwise it might be worth trying Rockley Manor - http://www.rockleymanor.com/ - Andrew that owns it used to race in Formula Ford in the 70's with my Dad and is a bit of a Petrol Head!
