The Barns at Lodge Farm is the perfect rural oasis just a stone's throw from the big city, hidden in amongst the arable land that has been worked by the Graham family for nearly 100 years. We only offer exclusive use packages, giving you complete flexibility to use each space within the venue exactly as you wish. Fully licensed for civil wedding ceremonies in a number of different barns, we can host anywhere from 50 to 250 guests, including a field for glamping overnight if you want to continue the party!
We are open all year round, and all our packages give you access to the venue from 12pm the day before your wedding until 12pm the day afterwards, so we only host a maximum of three weddings a week. As a result, peak weekend dates do get snapped up quickly, so please do get in touch to avoid disappointment!
As a full working arable farm as well as a wedding and events venue, we have a strong commitment to sustainability and are working on an exciting programme of renovation work to ensure the venue runs in an environmentally sensitive and carbon neutral manner. We are a small, family-run business, and pride ourselves on providing the most personal and professional service possible - we are firm believers that no two couples are the same and so each wedding should also be unique, and we pride ourselves on making that happen.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of our couples had a friend who was working as a doctor in Antarctica and so couldn't be at their wedding...so they put her face on a helium balloon and made sure she was in all the wedding photos/on the dancefloor all night regardless!
