About

The Octagon Barn is a stunning vaulted ceiling Barn built in the late 1600’s. Yours exclusively for the day, it is the perfect venue to welcome your guests and create your special day to be everything you had imagined and more.

We are ideally located 5 miles east from the centre of Norwich and only a stones throw away from the Little Plumstead Church.

Here at The Octagon Barn, we pride ourselves in our flexibility, as we know that each wedding is unique, we therefore strive to support you in any way that we can.

The barn provides its own flexibility due to its size, allowing you to make use of it in many different ways. Parties from 60 to 230 can be seated comfortably alongside the dance floor, meaning you can enjoy your wedding entertainment to its full potential, without having to rearrange. We can also accommodate up to 350 guests for a buffet type wedding breakfast.

Our beautiful enclosed garden provides the perfect area for your guests to relax, enjoy some welcome drinks on the lawn, and maybe even play some games. It also offers a beautiful backdrop for some family photos.

Set in 25 acres of land, the Octagon Barn has plenty of beautiful hidden spots for you both to escape to and have your wedding photographs taken.

We work very closely with our list of recommended suppliers and offer you a wide range of quality caterers, from fine dining to street food vans, to support you in creating your perfect wedding breakfast menu.
