THE BARN SURREY HILLS 07974 421047 | www.therubysupperclub.com Nestled in the Surrey Hills across six acres of private land The Barn offers a peaceful oasis that’s just five minutes from Dorking. The private garden to the Barn overlooks the spectacular sunrise and there are sections of the picturesque grounds that lend themselves to a festival-vibe celebration. Partnering with tipi and marquee companies, this setting can host outdoor celebrations for up to 500 guests for the main event. The private Secret Garden overlooking the three-acre paddock can be turned into a cocktail bar alongside a tipi or marquee for larger weddings or it can be the centre of the event for more intimate nuptials of 35-40 guests and the potting shed is the ideal location for the beer bar or snack shack. When tying the knot here, couples have complimentary use of The Barn for the wedding night accommodation. The luxurious romantic 5-star barn boasts original features, oak beams and cosy country style interiors, including a full-size sheepskin rug from the neighbouring farm. Even the bathroom door is from the original house, which is over 300 years old. A freestanding slipper bath made for two is the main feature of the barn and can be enjoyed with the overhead subdued lighting and there’s a barnstyle bell for when room service arrives. The sister company The Ruby Supper Club runs the food and beverage for your event and there’s ample private parking for your guests. 26
