10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes

Creating a new life is such an awe-inspiring, phenomenal achievement, it can make you want to shout your joy from the roof tops however we suggest you do it from one of our function suites, however.

There are several to choose from, and all are almost as beautiful as your offspring. The wonderful setting at Norton Park, combined with the hospitality of our Events team, make your naming ceremony a unique and memorable occasion.

Your co-ordinator will sit down with you to discuss your ideas for the day and help you plan any decoration you want, such as flowers, as well as menus, drinks and music. The ceremony can be organised however you like, although they tend to last about 20 minutes and include an introduction and readings, and you can conduct the proceedings yourself, or ask a professional Celebrant to do it for you.

However your day unfolds, gathering your friends and family together to celebrate a new life, be it your own baby, an adopted child or a stepchild, is a joyous occasion, and we'll help make it even more so.
