About
Tucked into the northern Berkshires, Buxton sits on 114 acres of wide-open fields, wooded trails, and mountain views. It is a space that feels both expansive and intimate. Originally built as a summer estate and transformed into a progressive boarding school in the 1930s, the campus still carries that energy: thoughtful, welcoming, rich in history and creativity.
You can host a one-day celebration or take over the whole campus for the weekend. Walk from ceremony to cocktail hour, share meals under the stars, stay up late dancing, and meet friends and family again for breakfast -- no shuttles or Ubers needed. There is room for up to 70 guests to stay overnight in dorm-style accommodations, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to make your celebration feel personal and unique.
Our event season runs during the summer months from June through August, with limited one-day availability at other times of the year, depending on the school calendar. Buxton is not your typical venue, and that is precisely what makes it magical. We provide the canvas. You bring the vision.
