Description
Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Aldington, Ruffynes Barn is a Grade II listed venue that combines olde worlde charm with modern amenities. Dating back to the 16th century, this five bay barn has been lovingly and meticulously restored to its former glory whilst still offering the comforts of a contemporary event space. Covering a generous 250 square metres, the barn’s imposing oak structure and rustic chic creates an ambience that is both dramatic and enticing.

We attended a wedding at Ruffynes and are now planning our 40th birthday party there! The barn is beautifully done - and the grassed courtyard is the ideal location for a champagne reception, truly unbeatable. Not to mention the family who run the venue - nothing was too much trouble and they were a delight from start to finish. Cannot wait to go back.Pip Durell 3 reviews The MOST spectacular location.
