De Vere Wokefield Estate

This gloomy winter weather has us dreaming of glorious sunny days! ☀️ The summer months offer our events a lot more flexibility when it comes to making the most of our outdoor space; it could be as small as taking a refreshment break al fresco or enjoying a BBQ outside in the evening to creating separate outdoor spaces, pitching tipis and hosting a mini festival for their delegates - really the opportunities are endless... If you have a summer enquiry, we'd love to hear from you. Please send our Sales Team an email to wokefield.diaryteam@devere.com. #outdoorevents #summerevents #alfresco #eventplanning #eventvenue #eventprofs #meetingprofs

Our Grade II listed Mansion House has a fascinating history that dates back to the 1560s, and recently we were lucky enough to meet a relative of one of the families that used to live in it and very kindly sent us these photos from the 1900s. Pictured here is Alice and Alfred; Dr Alfred Palmer was the second son of George Palmer of Huntley & Palmers (a famous biscuit factory that was located in Reading). He was the engineering director at the firm and the High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1905. He bought the Estate in 1901 and it was sold when he passed in 1936. His wife Alice Exall, was the daughter of William Exall, who was a partner in the firm of Barrett, Exall & Andrewes, makers of agricultural machinery in Reading. Here you can see Alice reading in what was their sitting room, but is now an event space called The Old Lounge. The fireplace still remains to this day! The group photo was taken on Alice & Alfred's golden wedding anniversary in 1927 and you can clearly see the Mansion House behind them. We love learning about the stories that our beautiful Mansion House has to tell, so if you have any to share, please get in contact with us. #historyofwokefieldestate #wokefieldestate

Berkshire Animal Connection Centre provides a sanctuary to animals, and a safe space for people to benefit from therapeutic interaction with them.
