It is not all wine, wine, wine.. though it helps. Companies and private parties often combine training or a meal with a winery tour or tasting and either some archery or shooting in our grounds. We have even hosted a mini Olympics for Truro and Penwith College!
We have a variety of spaces for any occasion, that can either be for your full, exclusive use, or you can hire out sections of our barn as you wish. Our threshing barn can seat 90+ upstairs, and there is extra space in the bar downstairs too.

Below are some examples of functions run successfully by companies at Knightor

Imerys 25 years long service dinner - Human Resources were looking at possible venues to host an event for between 40-50 people on a Friday evening, for a sit down three course dinner of tables of up to 10 people with some entertainment. In previous years they had had a magician doing table magic for guests on arrival and between courses or a roulette table (playing with fun chips no gambling). They selected Knightor out of all the possibilities as “You have a lovely venue and I’m sure our guests will appreciate the occasion – we try our best to make it special.”
We were very pleased to host this annual dinner where Imerys celebrate the loyalty and dedication of some of their most longstanding employees with their partners. Working with their HR department the upstairs of the restaurant was laid out for this private function with a champagne reception and presentation of awards followed by a four course meal and drinks to late in the evening. “Everything went extremely well. Excellent food and service.” – Jeremy Barnard, Human Resources Manager, Imerys Minerals Limited |

“Thank you so much for the use of your venue yesterday, the food was fabulous, everyone had a great time, so thank you to you and your team for your help in making it happen.” – Sharon Smith Event Coordinator |

A senior manager at the Eden Project was looking to run a marketing team event for 26 people, with a strict criteria. He was keen to go off site, wanted an interesting venue and had a tight budget. About two-thirds of the day was to be strategising with the rest set aside for a more relaxed team activity. We ensured their privacy by organising the upstairs of the threshing barn into a meeting room with seating and tables organised around the projector. Morning coffee and a three course lunch were served in the downstairs restaurant. Our winemaker James organised a tour of the winery where they sampled the different vintages in fermentation, followed by a tutored tasting event ending the day in a game of wine options. The whole package came in below their budget, while meeting the needs for productivity and making the team feel valued.
“Our team meeting at Knightor went very smoothly. The food was delicious, the tasting was enlightening, and we were very well looked after in a supportive but unobtrusive manner. Highly recommended.” - Martin Williams Director Sales and Marketing, Eden Project We all really enjoyed it – I stayed for the tour but didn’t do the wine tasting as I was driving and a bit worried about the alcohol percentage etc. Everyone said they had a great time and loved the atmosphere. Great job by you and your staff - Eden Project Marketing Meeting Participant We came over last Tuesday for our marketing team away day – was fantastic. Food was beautiful and great setting - Eden Project Marketing Meeting Participant |

One of the West Country’s leading firms of solicitors approached us about hosting a marketing event they were organising for local business women. The budget was limited and yet the nature of their clientele meant that only the finest food and wine would do. The upstairs space was reserved for their group with the seminar arranged in a horseshoe shape around the presenter. We served their party of thirty a selection of quality hot and cold canapés with fine wines and soft drinks.
The staff at Knightor were very helpful and the food was wonderful, which all worked towards making our networking evening a success. I would definitely recommend Knightor as a venue for a variety of events and look forward to going back there myself. - Jeni Haggett, Stephens Scown LLP I am writing to provide you with some feedback from my Managers who attended the ‘Style Event’ last night. They thoroughly enjoyed the evening and thought your hospitality, food and facilities were fantastic. We will contact you in the near future as a possible venue for our College Staff Development day. - Sue Willmot, Truro and Penwith College Business Centre |
