The Bradford by Day, Fearrington by Night

Take the opportunity to explore your own neighborhood, right here in Chatham County. Of the many local favorites hosting holiday open houses, The Bradford in New Hill is one of them! A luxurious event and wedding venue, the team at The Bradford welcome you to learn more about their story. Give the gift of exploration to your loved ones and book a private, socially distanced tour today.
Once you’ve booked your seasonal tour, reserve a Christmas dinner, courtesy of The Fearrington House Restaurant. Look at that, your December calendar is starting to fill up already!
The Bradford:
This is luxury, redefined. The Bradford, located at 523 Pea Ridge Road in New Hill, was designed to execute elaborate event plans from the perspective of a planner, not necessarily a bride. In 2013, construction began on the 12-acre property that was to become home for The Bradford. Constructed to embody the European countryside and the comfort of home, this venue captures the idealism of “approachable luxury.”
Celebrating the individuality of each of their clients, as well as their expectations, the team at The Bradford strives to tailor each experience to the uniqueness of the guest. From weddings to exposés, take a look inside the many events that have filled these venue’s halls. While these photo galleries may not fully capture The Bradford’s elegant nature, you will just have to visit for yourself!
