Full Description
We think our beautiful lakeside Tipi Wedding Venue might provide you with the perfect wedding celebration solution – a visually stunning space that can be decorated in completely your own style – rustic, vintage, festival, natural or boho. Exclusively yours for the weekend, we provide the venue - Tipis, power, toilets, water, furniture, lighting and sound system – and you organise the rest – in short, the food, the drinks, the decoration and the music! Best of all, we offer you the flexibility to choose your own suppliers and the opportunity to create a truly unique occasion. Best suited to 100-150 guests, but can seat 200.
As our Tipis are up for the whole season (May-Sept), the venue provides some more permanent features that you wouldn’t typically find in a rented Tipi –
· full wooden floor (looks amazing!)
· proper flushing Shepherd's hut toilets (no portaloos!)
· showering facilities so any guests camping over can freshen up the next day (available in 2020 and beyond)
· Bride and Groom Shepherd’s Hut en-suite accommodation (available in 2020 and beyond)
· clear panoramic frontage to the Tipis (retains the view over the lake but keeps the inside warm and dry if required!)
· everything laid out and tried and tested for easy logistics (no hassle!)
· security guard on site overnight on both nights of your hire period (safe and secure!)
Considering a personal ceremony at our venue? - you’d be in good company as many of our couples have made this decision before and we have options for you both outside and in. Daunted by organising your own event? - don’t be – we have been hosting weddings here at the farm since 2012 so have a lot of practical advice should you need it, as well as a network of great local suppliers who we are happy to recommend.
Arrive on the Friday morning with your family and close friends and enjoy our secluded slice of the Costwolds all the way through until the Sunday afternoon.

Best day ever!!
We had the most amazing wedding day at Hadsham Farm, as soon as we saw this venue we feel in love with it. The tipi is amazing and the setting is just perfect, with the lake and the fields. The owners are lovely, and so helpful, always taking time to answer my many emails. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was, we are so happy we found Hadsham Farm. Would definitely recommend to anyone.!

A beautiful venue!
Charlie was super helpful throughout and we had the best day. I can not recommend this venue enough if you are looking for somewhere special to get married.
The setting is stunning and the facilities are amazing.

The wedding venue of your dreams
If you’re looking for something a bit different, somewhere where you can do it your way with very few restrictions, Hadsham Farm is the wedding venue of your dreams. The setting is beautiful and the tipi is perfectly setup with everything you’ll need whilst still being a blank canvas to make it your own for the day. With the venue being yours for the whole day before to set up (and for that matter the day after to tidy up) it certainly took away any stresses on the wedding day morning with just our suppliers to turn up and do their thing. We held our wedding reception here on one of the hottest days of the summer and it couldn’t have gone any better! Even if the sun isn’t shining, the venue is still just like any other wedding venue with complete cover from the elements. Charlie is an absolute gent and great to deal with and we can’t thank Charlie and family enough for allowing us to host our wedding reception! It’s a day we will never forget and a party we’ll never beat!

The perfect venue
Hadsham Farm was the perfect venue for us.
In addition to the picturesque setting, nestled between secluded hills and a lake - they provide the space, furniture and facilities then let you get on with planning your own wedding reception.
Budgeting is simple - they charged a flat fee with no corkage, and while recommendations were made for suppliers they didn't force anything on us.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.. Charlie and Fiona have clearly gone to great efforts to make the venue what it is. Having been booked with the promise of new wheelchair accessible facilities they exceeded all our expectations.

Amazing venue with stunning views
Amazing venue with stunning views. We couldn't have picked a more perfect place to have our reception. The space is very versatile and allows you to create an experience true to yourself. The tipi looked fantastic and all our guests were completely wowed by the space and day. Charlie could not have been more friendly or helpful - i wish we could do it all over again :-)
FAQ

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Our own wedding back in 2012 was the best - we didn't have the stunning Tipi back then but the beautiful setting was still the same. The weather had been foul for a couple of months and the sun finally came out on the big day - it was effectively the first day of the summer that year and the party was fantastic!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
4 things make a great wedding reception - stunning venue (tick), food, drinks, music! Beyond that, relax, the details are all a bonus!
