Northamptonshire estate to host Wimbledon summer garden party with outdoor screening and live-fire feast

Upper Farm Private Residence Hotel, located on High Street North in Tiffield, is partnering with Northants Life and a collection of food and drink producers from across the county.

The private hospitality estate near Towcester will host an outdoor screening of the Wimbledon men’s final on July 12, with a garden party on the lawns, a live-fire menu by chef Gourmand Pierre and a bar built around the producers that make this county what it is today.

The event is being run in partnership with Northants Life and will bring together some of the best-known food and drink names for one afternoon only.

Guests will watch the final on a large outdoor screen from the estate’s lawns, with deck chairs, lounge areas and countryside views across the grounds.

Up to 250 tickets are available at £115 per person, or £105 per person for groups of six more, and this price includes a summer haze welcome cocktail made with the nearby Wharf Distillery.

The food will be the centrepiece. Gourmand, known for his live-fire cooking with seasonal British produce, has built a sharing menu around the coal-fired barbecue.

You can expect heirloom tomatoes with torn burrata, charred meats, marinated beef, smoky sausage with confit onion, crisp potatoes with yoghurt, and elderflower meringue with strawberries to finish. Additional food will be available to buy throughout the afternoon.

The drinks line-up pulls together award-winning English sparkling wine from Stonyfield, one of the county’s most celebrated boutique vineyards that produces using the traditional champagne method.

There will also be cocktails and spirits from Towcester’s independent craft distillery Wharf Distillery, and beer and cider poured by Hawkstone at The Hawkstone Arms bar on the estate.

Upper Farm Private Residence Hotel opened in February 2025, and the team uses exceptional local produce to create memorable experiences for residents and private dining guests.

The venture is run by co-founders Julian Edwards and Bruna Brambilla, and Julian said: “We wanted to do something that felt properly like a British summer afternoon, not a corporate hospitality box.

“Good food, a cold drink in your hand, the tennis on the screen and the lawns to spread out on. That’s the whole idea. Bringing together this group of local producers in one place is what makes the day.”
