Event Specialists

It’s great to meet you! I’m Dara -

With 10 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of roles from kitchen prep and bartending, to event coordination and customer service. Now, as the Sales Director, I’ve entered my favorite job yet – helping our clients carefully craft events where they can make memories to last a lifetime! I oversee booking, planning, and executing Stokesay’s corporate and social events, as well as weddings. Our venue coordination spans from the initial booking stage, through the planning process, to running wedding rehearsals and even bustling dresses when needed!

In my nearly 4 years with Stokesay Castle, 3 years in the current sector of my role, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the magic of this historic venue first hand. From the stunning architecture that reflects the grandeur of a 13th-century English castle to the breathtaking views from our elegant ballroom, every corner of Stokesay exudes timeless charm and beauty.  Coupled with our notorious cuisine and excellent service, it’s easy to see why Stokesay Castle is the perfect setting for any occasion!

Whether giving you a personal tour of our stunning castle or guiding you through the details of your event, I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure your vision becomes reality. Our incredible team and I look forward to working with you to bring your event to life!
