Nature’s aisle Discover these striking venues that are perfect for al fresco celebrations SOUTH FARM 01223 207 581 | https://south-farm.co.uk Nestled in a stunning, secluded spot in the countryside, South Farm is the perfect venue for weddings! Couples and guests will enjoy exclusive use of the venue, allowing them to celebrate in relaxed informality while experiencing the very best in five-star dining. The beautiful gardens provide colour and interest in every season. Highlights include a shimmering winter garden, woodland bulbs in spring, beds brimming with ever-changing summer blooms, and the golden and crimson leaves of the heritage arboretum in autumn. Rain or shine, there’s a perfect array of lovely spaces to enjoy at South Farm. The Summerhouse is an exquisite seven-sided oak-framed structure that appears to hover over the lily pond, framed by the garden behind it. Skillful lighting and state-of-the-art acoustics complete this idyllic open-air scene, offering couples the most romantic setting while guests look on from across the pond. The Farmhouse is beautifully furnished in classic country house style, adorned with fine old paintings. The Drawing Room is licensed for smaller ceremonies, accommodating up to 35 guests. It can also be used for a formal presentation line upon arrival or for drinks for up to 55 guests, in conjunction with the Hall. The Old Dairy seats 100 guests for ceremonies and is licensed for up to 150 guests for party-style events. This charming building is also ideal as a wet-weather alternative to a garden wedding or for coffee after the wedding breakfast. The Tudor Barn forms the heart of South Farm’s many entertaining spaces, providing a grand and impressive setting for vows. It offers formal seating for 146 for meals and 200 for evening receptions. The Horse Barn is a lovingly converted, high-specification, flexible venue space. Originally the home of eight working shire horses, the barn now features a designated dance space for the evenings with a partglazed suspended dancefloor and dramatic designer lighting. As with everything at South Farm, the accommodation is distinctly different. Guests can stay in comfortable bedrooms, a collection of Romany Caravans and Showman’s Wagons, or bring a tent to camp! The rustic Barnyard lies at the heart of South Farm and is home to a collection of rare breed animals. The piglets will melt guests’ hearts, and along with chickens, ducks, turkeys and peacocks, they’ll keep children entertained. There’s always something to see and enjoy! www.photographybybea.co.uk www.photographybybea.co.uk www.cdouglasphoto.com 25 AL FRESCO VENUES
