The Grounds at Duffield

Duffield House sits in 8 acres of land with beautiful tranquil gardens directly behind the house. Our patio area and gardens are popular for outdoor events in the spring and summer with enough space for activities and games and outdoor entertainment. We cater for marquee events in our grounds, either in our gardens using Duffield House as a backdrop or we have a second area available for marquee events for over 500 guests, this is a large secluded area located just behind our gardens.

We allow fireworks at Duffield House and we have an approved fireworks supplier called Star Fireworks.
