Situated in the beautiful countryside town of Eye, Suffolk, Abbey Hall is an elegant barn wedding venue bursting with character and charm. First built in 1583, this secluded rustic house has been carefully restored to its former glory in an arresting blend of old and new materials. Now it stands as an inspiring dry hire space, inviting you to let your creative impulses go across its modern open layout.

Facilities and Capacity

A Scheduled Ancient Monument, Abbey Hall is a harmonious meeting of exposed wooden beams, distressed walls, and contemporary luxury features. Every inch of the property exudes a unique atmosphere that you can easily adapt to your DIY wedding plans. Outside, 10 acres of glorious natural water meadows provide quite the setting for a stretch tent or marquee close to the banks of the River Dove. From 2023, the venue will be fully licensed for an on-site ceremony, allowing couples to enlist the picturesque English landscape as a backdrop. Alternatively, the Eye Town Hall provides a gorgeous, intimate setting for you to say 'I do' within walking distance. Set within a historic building in the center of the market town, it's a wonderful accompaniment to your wedding celebration at Abbey Hall. Once your union is complete, you can return to the venue's private haven and watch your occasion unfurl in any shape you desire. Every bit the blank canvas, there is no end to the sweeping views and the possibilities thanks to the fragrant rose-covered courtyard and pristine lawns. At the end of the evening, indulge your guests in a festival-themed camping village or a local high-end hotel.
