Pippa Middleton follows in her family’s footsteps with new party planning venture: Bucklebury Farm Park

Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate Middleton, is following in her family’s footsteps by venturing into the party planning business. The couple, along with her husband James Matthews, have recently opened Bucklebury Farm Park for events such as birthdays, corporate events, and yoga sessions. This new venture comes after their purchase of the land in 2021.

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 struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic and was eventually sold. However, Pippa’s new venture has fans hopeful for her success in the party planning business.

Despite facing financial troubles with their previous business, Pippa’s family has a long history in the party planning and supply business. Her parents faced financial struggles with their business and eventually sold it at a loss. While the original party planning business is no longer in the Middleton family’s hands, Pippa has always had a knack for party planning and has ventured into this field through multiple cookbooks and interior design projects.
