Our Summer Open Day on Tuesday 11th June was a great success, and even though the rain gently persisted, we were delighted that it didn’t put off our visitors off. Thank you so much to all the 450 guests who visited our wedding venue. 

It was lovely to see our guests exploring our beautiful farmhouse, barns and gardens. Our event team were on hand to chat with couples about their wedding plans and to answer questions, while our waiting staff served homemade ice-cream to our guests. They were helped by our team of talented chefs, who created delicious canapes for guests to sample and enjoy. We also had a street food kebab bar set up in The Tudor Barn to give guests a taste of one of our many diverse and delicious evening food options.

Thanks to Our Splendid Suppliers! 

Big thanks to all our recommended suppliers who were with us on the day. Our amazing confetti pony Jack Brock stole the show with so many of our couples falling in love with him!!  We had great music from the brilliant singer and guitarist, David Foster in The Old Dairy and the awesome DJ Gary was on the decks in the horse barn.  

The lovely Alice from Fleur de Lace sprinkled her magic in The Tudor Barn with pretty table decorations and styling, while our florist Violet and Velvet made the whole venue look beautiful with her gorgeous flower arrangements.

Safe and Sound Crèches were on hand to chat wedding childcare with our guests and Emily’s Best Sweet Shop had her charming vintage sweet shop set up in The Old Dairy with delicious treats for everyone!  

Sitting pretty in the courtyard was the stunning Birdie, pink Camper van photo booth – so unique and so much fun!  And Harvey from Drives or Yesteryear brought along his lovely vintage tractor – available for hire on your wedding day!!  

The talented Izzy Foster-Wilder hair and makeup artist was in situ in our bridal suite chatting to couples about wedding day hair and makeup and Wedding Dress Designer, Sharon Bowen-Dryden brought along a stunning collection of her beautiful wedding gowns – we were all in wedding dress heaven in the Bridal Suite!!

Lee Smith, Magician had guests enthralled with his incredible Magic tricks and Joshua Boyce Films were on hand in The Old Dairy to chat with our couples about the filming of their special day. Flo and Burt Wedding Stationery designed our lovely Open Day Flyers for us and had a beautiful showcase in The Granary of their amazing work.  

Our favourite Master of Ceremonies, Chris Jennings greeted all the lovely guests who came out to see us rain or shine!!
