Hold your civil ceremony in splendid isolation within 2500 acres of wilderness.
Home only to owls and bats for half a century, we’ve created a woodland Shangri-La where you and can immerse yourself in celebration, and then recuperate in style, soothed in all senses by the glories of nature.
The barn seats 75 at a long banqueting table, and our in-house chef can provide a full dining experience for you and your guests.
Lit by fairy lights and the glow from the surrounding picture lights, the mood is intimate, but there is plenty of room for dancing, as well as a bar and a snug with a snooker table.
We provide the barn, accommodation for up to 32 guests, and a new log cabin with toilets and hot showers - the rest is up to you...

Reviews for Little Massingham House and Barn
Summer wedding
There’s lots of space for parking. We married at the beautiful, quaint little massingham church which is only a short drive down the road.
Just idyllic
The red brick barn itself is also beautiful in an authentic rustic way and an excellent space for partying and music (our wedding band said it was one of the best party spaces they’ve ever played at). And no neighbours means you don’t have to worry about the noise.
The people in charge of running the venue were absolutely great, they were just lovely kind normal people rather than wedding industry types, and were very laid back and flexible, essentially letting us do whatever we wanted with the site. There were no restrictions on suppliers or anything like that and the contract they sent us was incredibly short (our wedding planner was impressed!).
We had lots of people camping on the site – more than 20 – and the camping facilities were excellent. The bell tents are luxurious – it was great being able to offer guests a free stay in those.
Great Massingham is a five-minute drive away and is definitely one of the prettiest villages in North Norfolk (and we would know – we’ve seen a lot of them). The Dabbling Duck pub is a beautiful up-scale pub/inn/restaurant if you want a base for pre- and post-wedding activities.
Overall, very happy to recommend the Little Massingham Estate barn to anyone, especially if you love the countryside and want a space you can make your own. Although our wedding is of course over we still feel quite attached to the place and we feel that the owners deserve every success. Hope you have a wonderful wedding there too!
