Full Description
- Weddings are a wonderful time of celebration, family and fun - there is nothing so special as time together with friends and family to celebrate love and life. We like to think we offer something quite unique... You get the whole site for a whole weekend entirely for your own exclusive use. Not just the Hall itself (perfect for putting up your guests), but all the outbuildings, and full use of all 14.5 acres. There's plenty of room for campers, and with different kinds of spaces on site, there's loads of flexibility to create a bespoke event, or even make your wedding a mini festival! With firepits, sports pitches, tree house, Art Barn and farm animals, it's such a beautiful environment and entertaining for kids and adults alike. More importantly, as a small organisation that values wellbeing and hospitality, we will do whatever we can to provide a really personalised service and make your time with us special. In fact, by having your wedding here, you're also directly investing in what we do as a charity, helping us to grow and develop, so your wedding will be making a great difference to us too. Our packages start at Tier 1 (£3,000) for fully exclusive all-site use: a DIY option where we provide some support, but leave you with a blank canvas and full responsibility for your event. Tier 2 (£6,000) and Tier 3 (£9,000) packages reflect greater support and involvement from our in-house team, larger numbers on site, and fully organised packages. However, these costs aren't set in stone - we'd love to hear more about what you need and go from there.

FAQ
(10)
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Have to choose two I'm afraid to capture both ends of the spectrum. One was a very small natural 'eco' wedding, really relaxed and personal. The other was quite a large affair with lots of guests, marquee, and band etc. What was lovely about that was the sheer enjoyment of loads of friends and family having a great time together.
What’s your #1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Get to the point where you can completely hand things over to someone else on the Big Day itself (ideally a few days before!). Whether a trusted friend, family member, or Wedding Coordinator takes it on, it's so much better for you to be able to simply enjoy your day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Straw bales set out for old-school sports day events and running races... quite a challenge when you've also enjoyed a full on home-made beer festival...
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Charming, homely, peaceful, creative, natural
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
There are loads! Depends what you'd like to capture. It could be in the Dell, with Grandmother Willow as a back drop, a more formal capture besides the Hall, or even with wellies on amidst Bertie and Piggles our beautiful pigs...
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Not yet!
What’s your favourite canapé?
Hmm... so many to choose from! Two come to mind: mini Yorkshire puds with pieces of beef and horseradish, and Sweet potato, pine nut and feta tartlets. Yummy.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Port and cheese?! Pizza?!! Kebab??!! (Beccles Kebab is actually really good)
What is your venue's most unique feature?
Fully exclusive use of a creative and imaginative site.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our tagline is 'Planting Seeds of the Future', and we're very proud of the work we do as a charity. We're also very proud of our team, a wonderfully creative and practical bunch.
