Taking centre stage within the private grounds of a Georgian farmhouse is this beautiful marquee and traditional oak-beamed barn venue. Surrounded by flowering shrubs, borders and woodland, the area is decorated with fairylights, lanterns, straw bales and a fire pit. A rustic flower arch marks the entrance to the venue, and inside it boasts rustic beams and atmospheric lighting. The marquee is provided by Village Farm Marquees and comes complete with flooring, lighting, furniture and table linen. TIME TO CELEBRATE! Weddings are celebrated with up to 100 loved ones. Ceremonies can be held al fresco, with the signing of the register to take place inside the farmhouse’s Ceremony Room. Alternatively, the entire ceremony can take place in the barn. The venue offers a flexible approach to receptions, allowing guests to choose between the gardens, marquee, house and barn. Welcome drinks are normally held in a picturesque gravelled spot in front of the house. WE LOVE… Couples can have a free tasting of local wines provided in the drinks package. After the party, accommodation is offered in the award-winning cottage, the farmhouse and the romantic shepherd’s hut.
