Brickendon Estate

14/08/2025

We’ll be taking a short winter pause for some much-needed farm maintenance from Monday 18 August 2025, reopening to day visitors on Tuesday 2 September 2025.

Our accommodation will remain open, so guests staying with us can still enjoy the peace and charm of the farm during this time.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in spring!

Even though it’s winter, it’s the perfect time to start dreaming of sun-drenched summer weddings.

This beautiful reception was brought to life by some of the most talented creatives in the industry – a dream team we absolutely love working with:

“The Gardener’s Cottage” is a heartwarming little book written by Shirley Reeman Cowell, originally penned during the cottage’s restoration and newly illustrated and published in 2024. Told from the perspective of the cottage itself, it shares the story of one of Brickendon’s most treasured buildings.

The restoration was carried out by Shirley’s husband, Trevor, alongside Richard and Louise Archer, with help from Kerry Archer and Harry Oldmeadow.

If you’ve stayed at the Gardener’s Cottage, or simply wandered past and fallen in love with it as much as we have, this book is for you.

Available now from our reception shop and online store. A beautiful gift or keepsake from your time at Brickendon.

When you stay with us in winter, it’s just you, the sheep, and quiet morning walks with plenty of space to roam.

Just outside Longford, this UNESCO-listed working farm has been in the same family since 1824 – yep, six generations of stories, sheep, and seriously good convict-built barns.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team from Longford Academy No. 14, who spent the day at Brickendon repointing the Cookhouse with traditional lime mortar, discussing previous conservation work on the Granary, and lime washing the Old Farm Cottage – all using materials prepared by the students themselves.

It’s incredibly encouraging to see such strong enthusiasm for heritage conservation, especially among younger generations, guided by such skilled and passionate mentors. What a fantastic and inspiring group.

Thank you to everyone who voted and to those who continue to choose Brickendon Estate as the setting for their special day.
