Weir Bank
The Riverside Marquee
​
The main house at Weir Bank was developed by Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen in the early 20th century. Sir Hugo was a keen horse owner and breeder, and owned the 1928 Espom Derby winner “Felstead”. Weir Bank was bought by Herbert Oppenheimer, a London Solicitor, who moved there from Caterham in Kent during 1930.  A passionate rose-grower, Herbert was President of the National Rose Society. The main house at Weir Bank was destroyed by fire in the early 1970s. The Estate was subsequently purchased by the Kidd family and remains a family-run business.

The Bray Business Centre is comprised of the outlying buildings that formed part of the magnificent Weir Bank Estate.


The Riverside Marquee offers unique conference and event facilities situated on the banks of the Thames in 16 acres of beautiful grounds.


In 2016 The Weir Bank estate hosted Once Upon a Bus and The First Storyteller's Fair
