Celebrate in style The venue is made up of two barns. The Rustic Barn has a wagon wheel and wooden ladders suspended by steel beams, old potato box slats for walls and plenty of straw bales. While the Industrial Chic Barn has wooden beams, a corrugated ceiling and wonderful old olive buckets as lights suspended from the beams. Al fresco celebrations are held in the field or charming woodland. We love... All the venue’s food is cooked on open fires and there are lots of outdoor spaces for summer weddings. BROADFIELD, HR1 3LG 01568 760 471 | www.broadfieldcourt.com Broadfield is an elegant yet relaxed setting, boasting a mixture of heritage and modernity. The bedrooms have luxurious beds and antique furniture; the sofas are grand yet comfy; and many rooms have wood panelling, stucco ceilings, and, of course, beautiful fireplaces. Parts of Broadfield date back to the 13th century, which can be seen in the mixture of stone and brick. The building is south-facing, with glorious views from the bedrooms and principal reception rooms. To the front are stone courtyards, and to the back are huge gardens. Broadfield is set in five acres of gardens within a further 22 acres that include a well-stocked rose garden, south-facing lawns, an orchard, woodland and a magnificent kitchen garden. The fold yard is a walled courtyard with Italianate loggia. The gardens and views are exceptional, and the house is a lovely mix of historic and modern. The bridal suite with wood-panelled bedrooms, a bathroom with a huge waterfall shower and a large dressing room is wonderful for weddings. The standout feature, though, is that Broadfield is available for exclusive use for two nights or more, so you can make your wedding and celebrations with family and friends last longer than just a day. Celebrate in style Inside the centre of the building is the inner hall, with ceremony space for up to 50 people. The wood-panelled dining room can seat 60, and the upper barn, with its low beams, has space for 100. For intimate ceremonies, the summerhouse is ideal, or bigger ceremonies can take place in the woodland, fold yard, or rose garden. If you have more than 50 guests, you can hire a tipi or marquee to dine and dance, situated at the top of the glorious south-facing lawns, overlooking the views of the Herefordshire countryside. With the atmospheric bar and firepits dotted around, the house, gardens and structure blend perfectly to create a dreamy reception space for those seeking a relaxed, flexible space. We love... All of the bedrooms at Broadfield are included in the hire, and you can choose to stay for longer than two nights if you wish. You can also organise as many planning visits as you want and receive complimentary bottles of wine to take away and taste, as well as invitations to open days. www.rosiekelly.co.uk www.chebirchhayesphotography.com www.leeshawilliamsphoto.com 18
