East Afton Farmhouse is located on the Western side of the Isle of Wight and offers a secluded exclusive-use wedding venue in a rural countryside setting. The venue has three event barns licensed for ceremonies, landscaped gardens, accommodation sleeping up to 20 & a main courtyard. The largest of the three barns features floor-to-ceiling glass, brick pillars and rustic wood cladding. This is ideal for the main event- sit-down meal, dancing and entertainment. This heated barn has a capacity of up to 170 sit-down and 250 evening. The two smaller barns are in contrast to each other and are perfect for indoor welcome drinks, entertainment or ceremonies. The venue also has a licensed bar, furniture, a commercial kitchen and toilet facilities included. Furthermore at our sister farm- Tapnell, only a 2-minute drive from the venue, we can also accommodate another 100 guests, as well as offering a restaurant, farm park, aqua park, and lots more fun activities for your guests. As a destination venue, ferry discounts are also available to guests staying with us. For weddings, the Farmhouse, Annex and Event Barns are all hired together for four nights from a Thursday through to a Monday with prices starting from £7,500 or 3 nights from a Monday- Thursday (without accommodation) starting from £3000. We can offer hire with or without inclusive food & drink package options, so there is something for everyone.

Perfect location for our wedding weekend!

But without a shadow of doubt, the wedding still would not be as perfect as it was without the exceptional service provided by the Afton team. I must mention specifically Chloe and Mel. Without this partnership, it would have been far more stressful and not turn out so perfectly.

The best day of our lives

The venue is incredible, having access to the whole site for the whole weekend was perfect and made everything not feel rushed. Having time to set up how we wanted, to tidy away and have the freedom and open space was perfect. The farmhouse itself is beautiful, it felt so cosy and we felt so at home during our stay. So much space for all the family and so clean and tidy too. The communication and planning up until and after our day has been perfect, the team will go above and beyond for anythin
