Full Description

For our Festival weekend weddings, "The Wedding Barn" can cater for up to 250 guests, or up to 400 with a marquee annex. Or for small, or intimate ceremonies you can choose either the Farmhouse (up to 20), or the Dutch barn (up to 60). With catering, you can choose your own, or we can offer a variety of great value options, at various price points - choose from our big pan festival-style food, hot or cold buffets, or perhaps something more rustic with a hog roast, pulled pork or even a BBQ & street food style, it all depends on what you want. Our location is very adaptable offering both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. We're as flexible as you need us to be... so come and design your wedding, with our help.

FAQ

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

They're all fab - but one couple was definitely the most romantic, and another had the most dancing guests we've ever seen...

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Start planning early and delegate, delegate, delegate - it does save on the stress!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A large canvas that every one of the guests drew or wrote or drew on, instead of a guest book - which would go on the wall at the home of the bride & groom. It looked fab, just like a piece of art! Lots of guests were incredibly artistic!

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
