At Swallowfield we have a standard fee to hire the property so you know what you’re getting and when. Its the transparency that we like, so you can rest assured and book accordingly. Wedding hire is for 5-6 hours plus bump in/out. Timing and days are negotiable. We can cater for 100 guests in a sit down capacity or up to 130 guest for cocktail style canapes. We have a fully equipped bar as well as a commercial kitchen and refrigeration available on site.
You can choose to do it all yourself, and serve wood fired pizzas or hire a wedding planner, wait staff and caterers to take care of it all for you.

The stables can be partially opened to reveal a view of the horses and the beautiful valley or closed down in the evening when the open log fireplace is lit. As part of our inclusive DIY package we can supply basic tables, chairs. All crockery, cutlery, and a selection of different glasses as well as some lawn & road signage.
