Description

Long Acre Barn is an 1859 Westmorland building that has been carefully restored into the romantic and charming structure it is today. The materials used to reconstruct our barn were chosen with the environment in mind, with timber sourced from our woodlands and up-cycled elements woven throughout the barn. Celebrate your special day enveloped in the natural beauty of Eden Valley for a peaceful occasion you will never forget. Long Acre Barn offers a variety of unique spaces for you to celebrate a relaxed day with friends and family. The Woodland Bar is located at the granary attached to the barn. The upper floor of the granary offers a cosy room with a beautiful log burning stove providing a charming space for entertaining your guests. Adjacent to the bar is an outdoor patio decorated in festoon lights. Here is the perfect area for you and your guests to enjoy a drink underneath the comfort of the pergola. Next to the patio space is their walled garden which oversees a magnificent view of the ancient woodland. The garden lawn provides an intimate spot for outdoor games and a reception. If you fancy a lively first dance underneath the spiralling lights of a disco ball, the Log Store provides rustic entertainment great for live music performances.

The most magical day

From start to finish Janet and the team ensured we were able to relax and enjoy our day. The venue was simply beautiful, so easy to decorate and style. All the vendors comment on how easy and accommodating the venue was. We loved the different spaces and the flexibility to do it how we wanted and bring in family and friends to support our vision. A huge huge thank you to you all.

A Truly Memorable Day

Our wedding was such a memorable and beautiful day thanks to Janet and her wonderful family. We loved Long Acre Barn and the finish of the venue is incredibly professional and immaculately done! The different inside spaces the venue offers are all well thought through and we incorporated each space into our wedding easily. Janet was incredibly open and helpful all the way through the process and the family all work as a team on the day which is just brilliant. We felt very well looked after all day and cannot thank them all enough for their kindness and support! Thank you for allowing us to spend our day in such a stunning place and making our wedding as special as it was. Thank you so much George & Steph

Couldn't recommend more! Perfect!

We got married at Long Acre Barn in September. It was the most amazing day and there’s nothing that we would’ve changed. We were praying for some good weather so our guests could appreciate the beauty of the venue, and despite the forecast, the rain stayed away. All of our guests adored the venue and were so complimentary of the venue itself, and the lovely, lovely family who run the place. Janet, Johnny, Sally and Emma all helped along the way, from the organisation prior to the wedding, to running the bar on the day, to cleaning up afterwards. We could not recommend this place enough. A truly beautiful place ran by a beautiful family.

An Amazing Venue

We were one of the first families to use Long Acre Barn, and it proved to be a great venue for our daughter’s wedding. The Addison’s were super to work with and made us feel very welcome. Long Acre has so much character, and you just have to visit it once to be convinced it’s the perfect place to hold a country wedding. There are so many facets to it - for example having a cottage on site for the family to use - but the icing on the cake was that by working with Janet we were able to easily personalise it for our event. The process of planning the wedding was such fun, in no small way owing to Janet’s help, and it resulted in a magical wedding day. Absolutely fantastic venue - can’t recommend it highly enough!

The best day of our lives in the most beautiful setting.

Long acre barn, has it all. Look no further for your wedding venue! The beautiful barn was perfect for our winter wedding, it gave us the most amazing atmosphere throughout the day with its charm. From waking up in the cottage accommodation to our ceremony in the granary to the meal and live music in the barn. Janet and Johnny were so welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process, we had organised our wedding whist living overseas and they couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. We can’t thank them enough. It was the best day of our lives!

Simply the best wedding venue we could’ve wished for!

After looking at Long Acre Barn, I didn’t need to look anywhere else! What a gorgeous, rustic and cosy wedding venue. Janet was so lovely- friendly, welcoming, organised and knew exactly what she was doing with every area of the wedding planning. The Long Acre team were so accommodating, relaxed and worked so hard to make sure everything came together despite torrential rain! The barn was lovely and warm with gorgeous fairy lights and comfy seats. The bar staff were so lovely and friendly and looked after everybody really well. To add to it all, the little holiday cottage included is divine, and bedroom is lovely including an amazing copper bathtub! We had the best day of our lives and wouldn’t change a thing!

Something very special about Long Acre Barn

“There is something very special about Long Acre Barn. It’s beautiful and every where you look there is a story to tell. I feel lucky to have seen it develop and to be able to see it flourish. Janet and her family are the best and have created something that’s hard to describe. You really need to experience it.”
