Kate Middleton’s family has a long history in the party planning and supply business. Her parents faced financial troubles with their business, leading them to sell it at a loss. While the original party planning business is no longer in the Middleton family’s hands, Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews are now venturing into the business themselves.
Pippa has always had a knack for party planning, evident in her multiple cookbooks and interior design projects. Their latest venture is Bucklebury Farm Park, which is now open for parties such as birthdays, corporate events, yoga sessions, and more. The couple purchased the land in 2021 and have recently opened it to the public for events.
The announcement of the opening was made in late April of 2024, with bookings available online for parties at The Lodge on the property. Fans have drawn comparisons to Kate’s parents’ former business, Party Pieces, which sadly struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic and was eventually sold. Pippa’s new venture has fans hopeful for her success in the party planning business.
Despite the challenges faced by her family’s previous business, Pippa Middleton is pushing forward with her party planning endeavors with support from fans. It will be interesting to see how her new business venture unfolds in the future.
