Ceremonies can be held in three spaces. The Ceremony Room (175 guests) is the oldest part of the barn dating back to the 1600s, while larger gatherings should consider the Baronial Hall (200 guests). It is also licensed for outdoor nuptials, which take place in the manor house gardens (200 guests). This can be followed by a drinks reception and barbecue on the terrace. The wedding breakfast and evening reception are held in the barn (200 guests for the wedding breakfast and 250 evening guests). With open fairy-lit beams, it has a warm and romantic ambience. Brides and grooms will have a free food tasting with the venue’s caterers to choose their ideal menu. We love… Friends and family will be glad to know there is room for 55 people to stay on-site.
