The beautiful and ancient Church of St Leonard’s can seat up to 60–80 guests and is situated right at the centre of Abbey Farm, allowing the entirety of your celebrations to take place on-site.

Couples may also choose to hold their ceremony under the elegant mezzanine lights of the Old Granary Barn, creating a romantic, magical, and intimate setting all year round. This barn can accommodate up to 90 guests for a ceremony or up to 160 for the wedding breakfast.

The outdoor spaces in the beautiful English countryside include gardens with views of the magnificent Kirkstead Abbey Ruin, and the meadows, often used for outdoor ceremonies. A courtyard connects the Oak Barn and the Old Granary Barn, while also leading directly into the bar area. As the evening reception begins, it provides the perfect place for guests to catch up with family and friends and mingle over a drink beside the giant fire pit.

The most perfect venue, staff & day!

I don’t even know where to begin! Millie and Jo are truly real-life angels, and Abbey Farm was nothing short of a dream come true. It was actually the very first venue we viewed, and we instantly fell in love. We went on to see a few other venues across Lincolnshire, but nowhere else came close - not just because of how beautiful Abbey Farm is, but because no one else welcomed us with the same warmth and kindness as Millie and Jo did. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we just knew.

Throughout the whole planning process, Millie and Jo struck the perfect balance of being there when we needed them while also giving us the freedom to make the day our own. Nothing ever felt pushy or pressured. We had a few lovely catch-ups, including a wonderful wine tasting, and every interaction left us feeling more excited and reassured.

When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Millie and Jo went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were always just a step away if we needed anything, yet worked so seamlessly in the background that we could simply relax and soak up every moment. So many of our guests commented not only on how stunning the venue was, but also on the welcoming, joyful atmosphere - and a few said they’d love to come back every Saturday night!

A very special mention has to go to Millie. Abbey Farm is so lucky to have you. By the end of the night, you felt more like a friend than anything else, and it honestly makes us a little sad knowing we won’t need to see you again!! We truly hope we’ll have the joy of returning for future weddings at Abbey Farm because we can’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate 🤍

Beautiful venue

Such a stunning venue with truly amazing staff. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so well organised and beautifully managed. Every member of the team was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even more special.

A huge thank you to April and Jo, who were incredible throughout the day. They were always nearby, checking in regularly and making sure we had absolutely everything we needed, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment without a single worry.

Communication in the lead-up was also fantastic. We were kept informed every step of the way, which made the planning process feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue, the atmosphere, and the team all came together perfectly to create such a memorable day, we truly had everything we could have hoped for and more.

Our special day

We had the most perfect day with no stress at all! Everything was so relaxed on set up day and the day of the wedding. Everyone at Abbey Farm are so professional and equally so friendly and always willing to help you out with any questions or queries you may have.

The most beautiful venue

We literally had the most perfect wedding at Abbey Farm, we genuinely couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful day.

Jo and Millie were absolutely fantastic throughout, from the moment we met them they filled us with confidence and we felt at ease. They are super friendly and it always felt like they couldn’t do enough for us. They are both genuinely thoughtful people that took an interest in not only our wedding day but our family. We are so thankful for how amazing they were with our two children and other children we had at the wedding. They consistently engaged with us throughout the process from booking right the way through the two years up to our wedding day.

All of our guests were so complimentary of the venue, it really is a stunning place, especially in an autumn setting with all of the lights and rustic feels.

We would absolutely recommend Abbey Farm to everyone, we are so grateful that we said yes to the venue and feel even more grateful that we were in such great hands with Jo and Millie.

Our venue was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived Millie and Jo made us feel taken care of, supported, and completely stress-free. Every detail from the setup to the timing to the transitions was handled with such precision and genuine care.
The setting itself was breathtaking. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful everything was from day through to evening. The staff worked with such kindness and professionalism, ensuring that we could stay fully present and simply enjoy the celebration.
Thank you for giving us a space that felt warm, romantic, and unforgettable. It truly became the perfect venue for one of the happiest days of our lives.

Best Day Ever!

As cliche as it sounds, we did have the best wedding ever! From start to finish we were welcomed by the whole team at Abbey Farm. They all went above and beyond to make our day special and, where needed, provide support, advice and adaptations to create the day we wanted. It was a smooth sailing and easy process and the link to the local church topped it off! Thank you all! x

Abbey farm

We can not recommend abbey farm enough. From booking the venue and the lead up to the wedding to the actual day itself we were so so well looked after. They made what can be a stressful time feel magical and easy.
The venue, the team and staff were amazing.
Post wedding- we have been seriously considering what other events we can possibly have at this venue because we are desperate to go back already!

The best venue and the most amazing team!

Abbey Farms is such a beautiful venue. We are so pleased we picked here as our wedding venue. It was the perfect place for us! Millie and Jo have been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. Millie replied promptly to my many emails and was so helpful throughout every step of the planning. Millie helped communicate with our brilliant caterer and we chose one of their Abbey Farms food packages which was absolutely fantastic.
The day itself ran super smoothly thanks to Millie and Jo’s careful planning! We wish we could live the day all over again!

We cannot recommend the venue enough, thank you so much!

The most magical place on Earth

Abbey Farm is undoubtedly one of the most serenely beautiful spots in Lincolnshire. On one Saturday in August, it was - to us - the most magical place on Earth. The team at Abbey Farm will work non-stop to make sure that your wedding is perfect. No matter what is thrown at them, Jo, Millie and the rest of the team keep their cool and keep you celebrating. We felt that we were in the safest of hands at every step and we knew that, whatever the British weather threw at us, the day would be incredible. We loved the flexibility of being able to choose our own suppliers; we had so much fun whenever we got to visit and catch up with the team to plan our day; and did we mention the incredible setting - there is nowhere more beautiful. We could not have chosen a more wonderful or special place to get married and we hope that you're lucky enough to make the same choice as us to head to Abbey Farm for your Wedding Day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Before married life, Jo worked as Head of Events for Nestle Purina - the perfect role for an organised, people person who loves the buzz of managing live events! More importantly, it taught her to be prepared - literally for anything and everything! We've got a few great stories!

When not busy running weddings, Jo will almost certainly be in her vegetable garden, supporting one of the boys on the side of the rugby pitch or walking the dogs!
