Aaron Darke, the owner, said: “We have been struck by so many people telling us that they can’t have the wedding of their dreams anymore because of COVID-19 and the closure of so many venues. I have spoken to a few who have lost their deposits and would love to help anyone in this situation. We had loads of space, and the farm would make a beautiful backdrop for an outdoor wedding.” Couples wishing to take advantage of this fab offer will need to show proof that they have lost their venue and deposit to qualify for free hire.
