Nestled inside the Bowood Farms garden center, The Bar at Bowood offers a lush and welcoming setting for gatherings. With views into the greenery and access to our full spirits and coffee bar, it’s an ideal space for a relaxed pre-function cocktail hour or intimate reception.
The Bar can accommodate up to 20 guests seated or 30 guests cocktail-style. It is available as part of larger indoor event bookings and is not offered as a standalone rental.
Guests enjoy exclusive use of the bar area, including full bar service, and seamless flow into the main dining room for a full indoor experience.
The Bar at Bowood is fully accessible, located on the ground floor with direct entry through Bowood Farms.

Dining Room

Located just beyond the bar, the Indoor Dining Room at Bowood offers a cozy yet refined space surrounded by windows and flooded with natural light. With garden views and seamless flow from the indoor bar, it’s an ideal setting for seated dinners and daytime events.
The Dining Room seats up to 40 guests. When used in conjunction with the Bar, the combined space can accommodate 60 guests for a seated dinner or 70 for a cocktail-style event.
