We are always looking for ways to develop what we offer at Upton, in 2022 we have launched The Paddock a stunning spa like space to give our couples the option to hire a beautiful building for their wedding morning to relax and get ready with friends and family. Along with The Stalls our scandi styled accommodation pods set in a woodland glade just a stones throw from the main barns. The only thing that could tops that, and that we are most proud and truly thankful for is our 'Team Upton' we are only as good as our team and we have the best, most committed and hardworking team. We even won the TWIA national award for the Best Events Team in 2021 which was a fabulous testament to their hard work. These awards are based on real customer feedback as well as industry judges so it was a wonderful achievement. It truly makes our day when we get a good review or kind words back from our couples after their big day.
