Set in 139 acres of parkland, grassland, magical woodland and gardens, Parnham is one of the oldest and most important houses in Dorset. As well as being a place to visit, the estate is also a living restoration project, with owners James & Sophie Perkins carefully reviving it as a place of craftsmanship, culture and community. Through considered conservation and imaginative restoration, they are honouring its past while shaping a future for generations to come.

Located just outside the market town of Beaminster, visitors today can enjoy walking the gardens and dining in the walled garden Michelin Guide restaurant, set in the former greenhouse. Showcasing the best of British produce from land to sea, there is a collection of menus from garden breakfasts and weekday lunches to slow, generous Sunday roasts. Every dish is shaped by the rhythm of the seasons and a love of exceptional produce.

Parnham also hosts a thriving programme of events, tours and workshops, inspired by nature and the seasons - from beekeeping to a botanical masterclass, and popular Wild Things sessions for children. Visit their Events page for the latest.
