Duchess Kate’s family has been in the party planning and supply business for many years. Her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, reportedly suffered major financial difficulties in their business and were forced to sell the business at a huge loss. The party planning business is over for the Middleton family, but Duchess Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews may be giving it a try.
Pippa has always been planning a party, having published multiple cookbooks over the years and launching her interior design brand through The Bucklebury Gift and Farm Shop. And now their Buckleberry Farm Park is open for parties.

They announced the news in late April 2024, sharing that the on-site lodge would be available for parties, and said in the caption: , corporate events, yoga sessions, Pilates and more. You can book your dates and pay your deposit online now. ”
Now, this new move immediately made fans think of her parents’ previous business called Party Pieces, where they plan parties and provide supplies. The company struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic, and everything went downhill. The family-run business, founded in 1987, was later sold to entrepreneur James Sinclair, and although they remain shareholders, they are likely to receive little money from the sale.
But now Pippa seems to be doing her best, and we’re doing our best for her.
