Exceeded my expectations

We recently visited The Granary Courtyards as guest for a 21st Birthday party and we were blown away by the venue it was great, We loved that the bar was separate to the marquee and that we didn't have to use porta loos!

Lovely place which we would definitely consider for a party. The Bar is fantastic very rustic and original! it was lovely and clean and even at the end if the night didn't look a mess at all! Everyone was very friendly!

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a marquee not on a field it is great. The floor is gold! The bar was very good to work, everything accessible and plenty to offer. the onsite toilets are great as normally you have to use portable toilets when working a bar in a marquee, also the bar is in a separate building therefore it didn't take up space in the marquee!

Fantastic new venue which could adapt to any look you wanted! We loved it and will definitely consider it in the future!

Lovely venue, we dressed it for a 21st Birthday party. The location is lovely and remote but with easy access from the Shrewsbury Bypass. It offers all brand new facilities on site. Would be happy to return.

We had a great day, The set up was great, all staff were very friendly and had a fab time!

I didnt really know what to expect to be honest but was blown away, It is an old farm however you dont feel like your at an old farm. It has such a good feeling about the place and is so unique.

Great day, friendly staff and set up well! Would definitely recommend!

Just what Shropshire needs! All of the venues in the area are so similar especially old farms but having the Marquee is so different to a barn and the outside areas are so spacious! We are looking for somewhere and this is defiantly at the top of our list since attending a party here in October!

Travel Notes

It is best to find us on Google Maps. Our postcode is unique to our address only however it can sometimes take you to the back of the farm rather than the driveway! If you find yourself in this situation go to the Yockleton Arms SY5 9PG. The Yockleton Arms is on your left hand side we are then the second driveway on the right hand side after.
