Barn & Farm Wedding Venues in North West - England

From the moment we viewed Fairbank we knew it was the venue for us! Fairbank really speaks for itself and the flexibility to DIY and choose your own suppliers according to your needs and vision is super. You can’t predict the weather in the Lakes but Fairbank is well prepared having multiple stunning indoor and outdoor spaces all for your exclusive use. In the months running up to the day we attended an open day for booked couples where we could measure up spaces, show family & friends (you could even bring your wedding planner if you had one) and sit in on an extensive Q&A. Our wedding was in May 2024 on a beautifully sunny weekend - we held our wedding in the ceremony barn followed by confetti, drinks, canapés, games and photos on the lawn. Our wedding breakfast and evening party was in the reception barn with guests free to relax in the gardens whilst we snuck off to the tarn for some epic couple’s photos. The farmhouse was the perfect base to relax in the run-up and post event; we booked an extra night so we had more time to spend with family. The rooms are clean and tidy, the kitchen well equipped (the extra fridge was welcome as it safely stored our wedding cake) and the bridal suite is pure luxury! Owner and wedding coordinator extraordinaire Clare is amazing! She really put us at ease, was friendly, down-to-Earth, attentive and worked tirelessly behind the scenes with her team and our chosen suppliers to ensure our day ran smoothly. We had the most incredible day and if we could do it again we would! Highly recommend Fairbank for a wedding! Photos by Ailsa Reeve Photography.

There is nothing I can fault with Dove Barn Weddings. From the very first visit Katie was brilliant and it was an easy decision to pick Dove for our wedding ceremony and celebration. Every single guest commented on the venue and the staff throughout the night. The whole family and staff at the venue went over and above and they helped make our special day even more special. I would hands down recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn style wedding venue. The onsite accomodation which is available is also perfect for you stay overnight.

We always knew we wanted a barn, or somewhere similarly rustic for our wedding and Barn in the Fell ticked all the boxes. It's just outside Ambleside which meant all our guests had no problems finding accommodation as well as being a stunning location. The Barn itself is a great size, and the ceremony room downstairs is spacious, and has plenty of options on how you want to dress the room. Sharon and Hogg who own the property were brilliant, they have adapted the barn, building everything you could need in a wedding location and are also open and flexible to ideas on how you might want the place to look for your day. They work with a variety of suppliers and have been incredibly helpful throughout - from letting us sneak in for another look when we visited the location for a second time to helping with suggestions on what other weddings have done and thoroughly taking care of us on the day. We would 100% recommend - this is a beautiful and relaxed place to get married and we loved every minute.

We were just blown away by the whole experience that we had yesterday at Lady Grey Farm from start to finish. The venue is just incredible it provides everyone from the bridal party to individual guests everything to make a special day FABULOUS! Attention to detail was noticed and they made everything go so smoothly. The staff were friendly and professional. It's a fantastic venue

We got married at Hobbit Hill on the 25.11.23 and from the day we booked to the week after the wedding it was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble, all our questions were answered and they were so helpful. The day before the wedding we went to set up and everyone was so welcoming and lovely. The day of the wedding we had Fiona to guide and help us through the day. She was AMAZING. The actual venue itself is immaculate and so so beautiful. The new part - The Shire - is breathtaking and I would definitely recommend paying the extra to stay in there. Thank you so much to everyone at Hobbit Hill… you made our dreams come true!

My partner and I recently had our wedding at Rivington Hall Barn. Throughout the planning process, the team at Rivington Hall Barn were always quick to respond, happy to answer any questions and eager to help with any queries. On the day itself, the team were just amazing. The day ran so smoothly and they really looked after us, our guests and suppliers. All of our family and friends absolutely loved the venue and commented on the brilliant service and delicious food! The barn is absolutely stunning, it is such a beautiful space. It really was the perfect venue for our wedding. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You made our day so special. Beth and Danny xx

The whole day was just amazing the staff are so helpful and absolutely thrive on making sure you have the best day ever The venue is stunning and the food was superb we want to do it all over again It was just perfect

Katherine and the team really couldn't do enough for us, they went above and beyond for us, not just on the day of the wedding but also leading up to it. If we had any questions, Katherine was very quick to help. Katherine is just an absolute credit to her self and to skitby, she really can't do enough for you, she just loves what she does and enjoys helping couples have the most perfect unforgettable day. She made the place look fantastic with our decorations ( not that skitby needs it, as it just such a beautiful venue). And did I mention the food, it is out of this world. We had the most perfect special day and night and can't thank the team enough, especially Katherine, the serive is just outstanding
