  Alverthorpe Manor is the private event venue of Abington Art Center, set on a 27-acre campus in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania that includes a sculpture park and nature trail. The manor was once the home of art collector Lessing Rosenwald, whose belief that art should be shared with the public still shapes the organization today. Couples and hosts can choose from a covered outdoor pavilion with closeable side walls and a heated floor for year-round use, curated indoor art galleries suited to cocktail hours and receptions, and lawn space for ceremonies, with two private manor dressing suites available for wedding-party preparation. A historic, speakeasy-inspired basement bar is also available pending availability. Tables and chairs for up to 180 guests are included with a rental, along with a complimentary one-year membership to the Art Center. Alverthorpe Manor allows outside caterers and food trucks, and connects hosts with a network of trusted vendors rather than requiring an all-inclusive package.

The property began as the "Sign of Admiral Vernon" and later took its current name in honor of Dr. Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War figure killed at Bunker Hill; over the centuries it has served as a stagecoach stop on the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, a Seventh-Day worship gathering point, and a temperance hotel before its 1984 restoration brought back its 18th-century character. Today the inn combines eight guest suites with several distinct event settings, including a main dining room, the Warren Tavern, and the Spring House Terrace, a secluded outdoor space built around a 275-year-old springhouse. The terrace's lower level is partially enclosed and heated for year-round use, while "Table 1745," set inside the historic springhouse itself, offers intimate seating for up to six guests with full bar and restroom access nearby.
