Eyreville’s oyster house gives Eastern Shore gatherings a distinctive setting
An octagonal brick oyster house is the centerpiece of the event offering at Historic Eyreville. The property’s own account dates the building to the early 1940s, when it was constructed specifically for roasting oysters.

Inside, a long heart-pine table and benches give the space a purpose shaped around people gathering to eat. Eyreville describes the oyster house as suitable for groups of approximately 40 to 50, while larger events can use tented areas outside by the water.
The Buyrn family invites inquiries for occasions ranging from reunions and birthdays to weddings. The event information describes a thirty-acre yard with mature trees and several possible ceremony and reception locations.
That choice of settings allows the oyster house to play different roles. For a smaller gathering, it can be the main space; for a larger event, the venue presents it as one part of an arrangement extending onto the grounds.
Eyreville is also a private residence. Its website asks visitors to book an appointment before touring, a practical distinction for couples or event planners considering a visit.
Eyreville lists its address as 3259 Eyreville Drive, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310. Inquiries go to info@eyreville.com or 757-695-0550. Event capacity, layouts and availability should be confirmed directly with the venue.
