Weddings in the wood
Where more magical than our Carpenter’s Barn, hidden amongst the trees of a private woodland estate, to host a woodland wedding? Fabulously private and secluded, you will enjoy exclusive use of the venue and we will do everything we can to make sure your special day goes without a hitch and is memorable for all the right reasons!
We have a license to hold wedding ceremonies and civil partnership services http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/ceremonies in our Carpenter's Barn and we can also arrange woodland wedding blessings.

The barn http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/venue/carpenter-s-barn itself can accommodate around 100 guests for a sit down meal. Our semi-permanent marquee http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/venue/marquee on the woodland deck extends the covered space, seating a further 125 guests. Additional marquees can be put up on the lawn if required. After the wedding feast http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/catering, the tables and chairs can be cleared to create a huge dance floor. You can hire a band or a dj to play in the barn - perfect for country dancing and we can even arrange straw bales for seating!

We have a licensed bar http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/woodland-bar/about-our-bar, a large fire circle http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/venue/camp-fire and bbq facilities. There are lawns for entertainment and a meandering trail through the ancient woodland. The newly weds can spend the night in our Honeymoon Shepherd’s Hut http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/venue/honeymoon-hut and we also have accommodation http://www.weddingsinthewood.co.uk/index.php/accommodation on site for your guests.

We provide the blank canvas for you to design your perfect event - this allows you the freedom to have your own dream wedding.
