- SSue & Terry22/11/2023Couldn’t be better!Couldn’t be better!A reasonably priced, idealistic venue allowing you the freedom to be as creative as you want with your bespoke wedding and Set in lovely natural surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend there, our guests all commented on what a fantastic day it was. The cost for the rent allowed us to hire catering, a band, a bar and even a characaturist within budget. Communication between us and the estate was fantastic, with them allowing us to visit the barn several times to take pics, measure and plan.A reasonably priced, idealistic venue allowing you the freedom to be as creative as you want with your bespoke wedding and Set in lovely natural surroundings.

- FFrances and Marc20/11/2023The perfect venue and the perfect dayThe perfect venue and the perfect dayWe had the most amazing wedding here in February this year. The booking process was so seriously easy and the staff were super friendly, easy to contact and always ready to answer questions. We weee provided with plenty of tables and chairs and there are lots of electrical sockets to plug in your own fairy lights and sort out bands and DJs. We had the venue for the weekend which meant we could decorate it the day before and take everything down a bit later the next day as we had it until the evening. The only rule is no naked flame which makes perfect sense seeing as it is a thatch roof! The whole area is beautiful and made for some absolutely gorgeous photographs too. Thank you Wood Farm for the most amazing venue we could have asked for!We had the most amazing wedding here in February this year.
