Our Facilities
Fordham Abbey, an elegant Georgian manor house built on the site of a 13th century priory with 75 acres of garden and pastures, is home to the Dojima Sake Brewery, which has its roots in Osaka with 500 years of brewing history.
The grounds includes the stunning Japanese water gardens, and the magnificent walled kitchen gardens and greenhouse where fruit and vegetables are grown for functions in the Abbey.
The House
Ideal venue for high class events, meetings and conferences
The Georgian House has been carefully refurbished. We will be hosting Anglo Japanese cultural events time to time. The Ground floor rooms are available for hire for members.

The Gardens
The Japanese garden has a living tradition stretching back over a millennium in Japan, and today that voice has reached across the world.
It follows therefore that the UK’s first sake brewery should have a fine ‘Japan inspired’ garden.
