Overlooking picturesque scenery, and set in 100 acres, our exclusive, family run, licensed Wedding Barn will immerse your guests in the charm and character of Cumbria’s enchanting Upper Eden Valley.
To tell you a little history on Eden Barn, our daughter asked us if she could hold her Wedding Reception in the Barn in June 2015. We lovingly restored it for our family wedding and now welcome you and your family.
Our traditional 200 year old Westmorland stone barn, draped in twinkling fairy lights, is the most enchanting and unique place to be married. This beautiful building is packed with rustic charm from the giant chandeliers to the exposed stone walls, limestone flagged floor and vaulted ceiling. Outside there are expansive views of the Pennine hills, which you can enjoy from our landscaped outdoor areas, as well as the undercover terrace. Perfect for taking in golden hour, and watching the sun go down over the fields. In addition there are two licensed outdoor areas to be choose to be married; the outdoor handcrafted pavilion, or our meadow by the stream. We also have several beautiful country churches nearby.
We are a small, family run business who believe that weddings should be fun, relaxed, enjoyable to arrange and personal to you. With 10 years of experience planning and hosting weddings, you are in safe hands!
Our couples have exclusive use of Eden Barn and its secluded setting, during which we will be on hand to support you from planning through to on the day co-ordination and de-set.
We welcome you to stay in our newly opened The Wilding Hotel located down the road from the barn. Rooms will be reserved for yourselves and your guests. Perfect for pre wedding meet up and post wedding de-briefs too.
New for 2027 couples will be our exciting new on-site field barns. Take a look at the CGI's in the photos!

Listen to each others opinions when planning, they are the most important. There is an area on our website just for our couples planning with us. Each couple gets a password to it and it talks you through from the beginning to the end of your planning. Think a handy planning guide packed with suppliers, to floor plans, a drinks portal where drinks are sent to your home for you to choose, Southcott caterings brochure, to our final meeting where we go through everything from the beginning to the end of the day. We've got you both through the journey!
Oh gosh, they really have been so many. An unforgettable one was 1000 Chinese paper dragons suspended from the ceiling which were made by the Bride to honour her family heritage.
Relaxed, Romantic, Personal, Exclusive, Rustic
Our favourite is the meadow! A field opposite the barn with a pathway leading you over a bridge over the stream, and stepping stones. It's so calming and the perfect spot for portrait pictures. The sun sets in front of the barn, so that often brings a gorgeous golden light. Group shots are often on the lawns, with the views of pennine hills as the backdrop.
Yes, multiple times now but they remain our secret!
Honestly Southcott's canape's are incredible! The little sausages are something else, but we will take anything we are offered!

Definitely the main barn decorated with the waterfall of lights (all included). It has something about it that is hard to describe. A special moment is when the guests see it for the first time. There are often gasps as they walk in, or a tear or two. Even though we are lucky enough to be there all the time, it really does make us feel proud that we can share that joy with others.
Being able to work as a family team. We are so lucky to be able to work together, and in turn look after other families on their wedding journey.
