Facilities and Capacity (85)

Whether you are planning a weekend festival-style wedding, a romantic elopement or a small weekday celebration - you might find it hard to choose between the two beautiful outside ceremony spaces.

The unique hilltop WILLOW CATHEDRAL is surrounded by trees and meadows. Here, you and your loved one can exchange vows in this picture-perfect setting with gorgeous countryside views.

Or hold your outdoor ceremony in the secluded SILVER BIRCH CHURCH. Nestled in the woods, this elegantly private area is also perfect for elopements.

There is also a funky 'wet weather' STRETCH TENT, which you can use as a chill-out area for your guests (or, more usually - for extra shade)!

After drinks, use the elegantly rustic BARN for a delicious meal with views of the meadows. At dusk, the FESTOON LIGHTING will create a magical festival atmosphere, and your guests will enjoy relaxing by the fire pit and gathering their energy for either dancing the night away or just enjoying each other's company for your wedding celebration.

Accommodation

A spacious modern FARMHOUSE - perfect for the main wedding party to relax in and get ready. There are festival-style GLAMPING TENTS and more luxurious SHEPHERDS HUTS for your guests. Don't forget the dedicated honeymoon suite for you and your partner - the quirky HOBBIT HOUSE HONEYMOON HIDEAWAY with private facilities. There is so much to choose from for a weekend or destination wedding mini-break!

Services Offered

When planning your wedding, this blank canvas venue gives you full creative control. Either DIY or choose outside caterers, stylists and florists to help bring your visions to life (or mix it up). There are no corkage charges - so you can either bring in your own drinks, book a bar service or even invite your wedding guests to bring their favourite tipple! What's not to like?
