Ceremonies take place under the hand-crafted oak arbour located outside in the Walled Garden accessed via a lavender-lined aisle. A drinks reception can also take place here, and it looks romantic at dusk lit up with festoon lighting. Inside, the Cider Barn is an alternative ceremony spot and the ideal space for the evening reception, while the newly built Stable Barn seats up to 156 for a wedding breakfast and the Press Bar offers a relaxed environment for post-dinner drinks.
