The Lawn Bar (Summer Weekends from 24th May)

24th May - 8th September

Hello Cowes, Hello Summer!…we’re going to be back for the season from Friday 24th May!

Hooray we hear you say…at last the Lawn Bar will be open again on the beautiful lawns of Northwood House! It will be great to finally open the gates  for summer weekends and we’re sure to be at the centre of Cowes summer socialising once again, as we have been for the last four summers.

Offering the largest outside licensed hospitality area in Cowes if not the whole Island, the Lawn Bar provides a perfect spot for guests to relax and soak up the sunshine with a drink…there’s always a chilled Balearic-style vibe to enjoy which has made us so popular.

With a range of great wines, gins and pitcher cocktails, as well as trendy beers from Estrella Damm and Camden Brewery , the Lawn Bar provides a perfect social destination this summer for Islanders and visitors alike. Booking isn’t required, just come on down,  as we’ve got plenty of tables…but if you want to reserve an inside seat send us a message on messenger.

This year we are delighted to partner once again with our friends at The Garden in Cowes who will be providing delicious food to eat in (or take out) every day we are open this summer…so you can get great food and great drinks when you visit! More details of this year’s menu offer will follow soon.

Opening times for The Lawn Bar in 2024 are confirmed as follows:

Fridays: 4pm-11pm for after work drinks and letting your hair down!

Saturdays: 12noon-11pm- for sunny Saturday socialising with a Balearic-inspired vibe straight from Ibiza

Sundays: 12noon-7pm- for chilled out Sunday relaxing!

*Times are subject to change at short notice. On wet/inclement days we may not open or open later/close earlier (with 20 minutes notice). See our Facebook page for latest information or send us a message to reserve an inside table:

There’s always a cool mix of the latest music straight from the beach clubs of Ibiza, with the occasional guest DJ thrown in for good measure to soundtrack your visit. So come on down and relax with us on the glorious Northwood House Lawns this summer. Whether it’s enjoying a bottle of elegant Provence Rose or a refreshing pint of premium crisp pint of lager on a sunny afternoon…or a premium G&T or Espresso Martini as the sun sets on a late summer evening, the Lawn Bar will be the place to be.

We’ve become quite a destination for people having a summer celebration, so why not book a party with us? You can reserve a space in our all-weather marquee for a birthday, hen party, leaving do or team social..what ever you are getting together to celebrate! We can also offer some pre-ordered pizza and drinks packages if you want to get organised and take the worry out of planning a social gathering with some food and beverages included. Just email us at events@northwoodhouse.org to enquire about a booking and what we can do for you!

Don’t forget we also have a  large marque at the Lawn Bar with over 60 lounge seats if the weather is inclement, so we’ve definitely got you covered this summer on those not so sunny days!
