Venue information:

We are very excited to be invited to host this festive floral skills workshop at Berrow Court, a wonderful Grade II listed Victorian mansion in the heart of Edgbaston, Birmingham.

This splendid grade II listed Victorian Mansion was once the home of the distinguished politician Joseph Chamberlain.

Built in the “arts and crafts” style, Berrow Court is set in three acres of beautiful gardens. In the late eighties the house fell into disrepair, laying empty for several years, before the Parsons family acquired it and undertook the monumental task of returning the house, and its gardens to their former glory.

The magnificent residence is now one of Birmingham’s most sought after venues for wedding receptions, private dining and conferences, accommodating up to 130 seated guests for wedding breakfasts and private dining. Buffet-style dining can be provided for up to 300 guests.
