Based on a small farm, the secluded, beautiful and slightly wild lakeside setting is unique and special. Offering a maximum of 12 outdoor weddings a year from May to September, the space offers a ‘blank canvas’ for you to make your wedding your own. Relaxed, boho festival vibes or more formal marquee weddings both fit beautifully into the space. Choose from either a Dry Hire booking, or a package including tipis and furniture, and add your own details to create your perfect day. You will have exclusive access from 9am the day before your wedding to 2pm the day after, with no other weddings happening in the same week as yours. Each of the outdoor ceremony options (woodland, lakeside or willow aisle) offer a naturally special place for your vows, and can be used simply dressed by nature, or enhanced with your flowers and other embellishments. The converted barn provides a beautiful space overlooking the lake for you to get ready. We are members of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, and have chosen Recommended Suppliers who share our interest and values around sustainability, whilst also providing a high quality service. There is space for camping or glamping, and dogs are welcome!

Beautiful, secluded barn!

We use the beautiful, secluded Barn Field to provide a nature-filled backdrop to your big day. It’s probably the prettiest spot on the farm, beside the lake with stunning views on two sides.

Situated in a beautiful, nature-filled corner of North Essex, beside a lake and surrounded by meadows and woodland on a small family farm, the Barn Field and its surroundings offer a unique, special place for a wedding. They are offering a small number of weddings each year during the summer (May to September), at weekends (Fridays or Saturdays only) and aim to keep operations as sustainable as possible, and take a strong interest in the environment, wildlife and nature on the farm.
