Situated in the beautiful rural Lincolnshire countryside, our idyllic and tranquil setting consists of over 30 acres of lush green lawns and parkland. Perfectly positioned beneath the uniquely romantic ruin of Kirkstead Abbey, our venue is bursting with historical charm and even has its own on-site 13th century church. Our beautifully renovated barns have been designed to retain their unique and authentic Rustic Charm, whilst adding a modern luxury twist. Complete with twinkling fairy lights, the warmth and rustic nature of the exposed timber add a genuinely romantic and heartwarming atmosphere to any wedding day. For each couple, there is huge flexibility when choosing how to use the spacious grounds and barns. This customisable element is reflected throughout every aspect of the venue. The choice is yours when deciding between multiple ceremony sites (including outdoor options!), your wedding breakfast location, round/long tables … the list goes on! Couples are also able to hand pick all of their own suppliers, making their day much more personal. As a small, family run business, from the initial viewing to the day itself, Venue Owner Jo and Wedding Manager April are always available to offer as much or as little advice as needed! With capacity for up to 160 seated day guests & 250 evening guests, you have the option to hold the huge wedding you have always dreamed of or alternatively, keep things intimate for just close family & friends. There are also a large variety of accommodation options 1 mile down the road in Woodhall Spa to suit all of your guests. Exclusively yours, take advantage of setting up the day before the wedding so that you can enjoy the day itself to the fullest and relax the night before, knowing everything is just as you had imagined & more!
Every wedding is different here and we love to see how each couple bring their individuality and create amazing and beautiful wedding days !
Thought and planning in advance will create the day you are looking for but we are always on hand to help as much or as little as you wish both on the day and beforehand

We love the Oak Barn and the Old Granary Barn which we have built as a labour of love - they really are stunning! As far as we know, the mud and stud building of the Oak Barn is the first of its kind for over 300 years.
Most proud of the incredible testimonials and feedback our team receive after a wedding - happy couples, families and all their friends and most of all we love what we do and enjoy all the wedding days too!
