Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to make sure it's perfect. That's why you're considering Manhay Farm for your special day. We offer everything you need to create a truly memorable celebration, from the stunning rustic setting to the personalised service. Our barns are on a beautiful former dairy farm, surrounded by rolling hills and lush meadows. The barn features high ceilings, exposed beams, and carpeted floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, our sub-tropical garden is secluded, surrounded by lush greenery, palms, and fragrant flowers. The large decking area overlooking the pond is the garden's focal point, its tranquil waters reflecting the surroundings. The stream feeds the pond, home to various fish, frogs, and dragonflies. Birdsong fills the air, and butterflies flit from flower to flower. A genuinely magical summer venue that is perfect for renewing your vows or holding an intimate wedding reception to celebrate your love with your closest friends and family. Not just a venue, we can source everything from tables and chairs, linens, glassware, silverware, catering, bar service, and entertainment. We also have two large fields for your guests to camp, glamp or park their camper-van. We understand that planning a wedding can be stressful, so we're here to help every step of the way. With over 15 years of hospitality management experience, we will work with you to create a beautiful and memorable wedding. We can't wait to help you celebrate you both!

Couldn't be happier

I always knew I wanted a barn wedding so when I found Manhay I was thrilled! We visited in January and were blown away by how beautiful the farm was and how friendly and welcoming Francesca was. Throughout the whole journey she was so helpful and easy to talk to which put my mind at ease!! On the day everything was perfect and all of our guests commented on how incredible the venue was, we honestly couldn’t be happier!

Amazing location, super helpful host

Amazing venue with great versatility situated on a beautiful farm. Host went above and beyond looking after us all throughout the night, entertainment was amazing, loved every second there.

The barn and the grounds are so beautiful and clearly cared for by both Francesca and her partner Chris. This is the perfect location for a birthday, wedding, work party or any type of celebration! Very warm and bright atmosphere! Will be back for sure!

Absolutely Stunning Venue- Beautifully Natural

I have attended two weddings there as a guest. I can honestly say they were two of the best weddings I've attended. The barn was decorated beautifully, and everything was great

We found our place!

We went here yesterday to look, and it's a beautiful place! So much open room for entertainment, the barn is a perfect space for a reception 😍 if anyone is thinking of a home wedding like us or needing a reception venue that's not at ridiculous prices, this place is perfect. They also have a 1-bed cottage you can stay in which is an amazing price right next door. Guests can pitch up if they want or bring a caravan and stay in the field there's so much here for such a small price.

Our special day was perfect!

My husband and I had our special day here and it was so perfect. Huge barn, rolling green fields, massive fire pit. It was the perfect place for our wedding. We had a ceremony in a ring of flowers and had a big BBQ and party in and outside of the barn. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Clare is so accommodating. Thank you so much!
