About this space

The dazzling Oak Barn, with direct access to the gardens via three sets of double doors, is an ideal space for a drinks reception. This spacious room allows you to enjoy champagne and canapes with up to 200 of your guests. This versatile space can also be arranged to host your civil ceremony. With a beamed ceiling, the barn is full of traditional charm, and the neutral colour palette offers you a blank canvas to design the wedding that reflects your personal style.

For a romantic outdoor ceremony, the gardens boast an enchanting arbour clad with flowers. You can have up to 200 seated guests witness you say your “I dos”, surrounded by stunning views of the open countryside.

After the ceremony, retire to the Elm Barn, which can seat up to 200 guests, for your wedding breakfast. With its vaulted ceiling, the barn has a traditional rustic feel, while the sparkling chandeliers add a touch of modern elegance.

When your evening guests arrive, the space transforms into a party barn, which boasts its own private bar and a dance floor. The smaller windows, mood lighting and beer barrel tables and stools give the space the nightclub vibe, while the upstairs gallery offers your guests the space to have a chat and makes a great spot for photographs. With room enough for a DJ or a live band, the Elm Barn is the perfect choice for your celebration.
