Baby Shower Celebrations

There is no adventure more life changing than parenthood. Celebrate the newest addition to the family with a baby shower at The Alverton. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest, or an unforgettable party with all the bells and whistles, toast to the little one at our hotel.
The Alverton has a range of venue spaces, menus, and added extras, that can all be customised according to your party size, requirements, and theme. Set in our nineteenth-century grounds perched just outside of the Cornish capital, Truro is the perfect central base for an event. Our hotel offers privacy and tranquillity for you and your guests, concealed behind the ancient trees and manicured lawns of our private gardens.
We know a baby shower is a very personal moment a parent-to-be will remember forever. From helping you to set up and customise the space for the day, to providing screens or projectors for games and activities you’ve thoughtfully planned, our friendly team is on hand to make sure your vision is brought to life, and the day runs without a hiccup.
If you would like to visit the hotel for a tour to discuss your party’s requirements, or make a booking, please contact us on 01872 276 633 or email weddingandevents@thealverton.co.uk
Baby showers are more than just cake, games, and gifts. They’re about showering the parents-to-be with love and support before the arrival of their new bundle of joy.
