Nestled in the Fells, once home to a herd and flock, there lies a delightful slate barn ready to rock.
A stones throw from Ambleside, the barn and Lakeland fields wait to come alive with the sound of love & laughter.
New but very old, its a collection of rustic spaces being lovingly repurposed by a family & their wonderful team.
Join their story with your own and be part of Lakeland history.

“What? In our old Barn?” was Hoggs response when weddings in the barn was mentioned.
Yes Hogg, this barn is glorious and can be more than a family party space or shelter for your ewe’s!
Hogg and Sharon live and work on site with children, dogs, cows and sheep. They bring not just brains and brawn but a lot of laughter too. Every event here is treated like a family knees up: Excitement, love and fun!
The family and their troop have worked wonders on clearing out the space. To follow the story and the hard work behind creating a new wedding location, find them on Instagram (link below).

Reviews for Barn in the Fells
Perfect Barn Wedding in the Lakes
Sharon the owner is incredibly kind and helpful, and was so generous with her time and recommendations.
Annabel Candler, the coordinator they have partnered with, was wonderful throughout the entire process. We used her list of recommendations for all of our suppliers and they were all great. And Emma who was the coordinator on the day did a spectacular job keeping everything smooth and on schedule seamlessly.
Want to give a special shout out to all the bartenders who worked the bar for both Friday and Saturday. They were so nice and fun, and all of our guests were raving about them.
In addition, when you book the venue, you get access to Crow How for the weekend, which was such a lovely BnB, and Jill the owner of it was so nice and helpful for the entire weekend and when we wanted to extend our stay.
Thank you so much for letting us use the venue for our special day. It was better than we could have imagined!

Dream wedding!
Sharon and the staff were so kind and helpful, from booking our first walk round tour to the wedding day itself.
The venue is beautiful and there is so much flexibility for what you can create.
Annabel & Kat, made the day work perfectly with help and guidance along the way but making sure it’s just how you want it!
The views are just unbelievable! We had very mixed weather but it was still perfect!
We can not thank everyone enough, it was the most perfect day and we wouldn’t change a thing!
The most magical day
Annabel, Sharon and Jill were the BEST wedding team we could have wished for. Annabel just knew how to put everyone at ease, fix anything not quite going to plan - including turning into James (Jane?) Bond when an adorable little flower girl locked us out of the barn right as I was due to walk down the aisle! Dashing at high speed across the farm, leapfrogging anything and anyone in her way to let us back in, is apparently included in her services too!! Annabel kept us calm at the most important points of the day, sent us off for little breaks together so that we could soak it all up and was just generally the glue of the day - you're the best!
Sharon the owner was with us to set up, and make sure the day ran smoothly too - again, no question was too much and boy did Sharon deserve her cup of tea (or wine?!) at the end of the setting up day on Friday. Literally everything was done with the biggest smile on her face, we also had the extra bonus of gorgeous Dolly the sheepdog supervising us all.
Our stay at Crow How, the guest house on site was equally as magical as everything else. Jill the owner was as lovely as everyone else, so so helpful - took multiple packages in for us, helped us with champagne glasses and made all of our family staying there feel so welcome. The rooms were all stunning, and the views out of the windows are to die for. We didn't want to leave!
The location of Barn In the Fells and Crow How is just perfect, close enough for family and friends to stay in Ambleside or Bowness, but intimate/out of the way enough to feel like you're really in the Fells, in the true Lake District countryside.
We honestly couldn't recommend it enough, and hope many more couples get to experience the Barn (and team that come with it!) for their special day. Thank you BITF!! Hannah and James xxx
The Best Wedding!
The perfect venue!
Spectacular venue but felt right at home
The use of Crow How is such a bonus, not only because of its gorgeous gardens and views to Loughrigg, but the drawing room was where the bridal party got ready and it was such a special space with the lighting. It was also wonderful to be able to put up our nearest and dearest on site!
The barn itself was beautiful for our ceremony, dinner, and evening entertainment. It's such a versatile space and it looks fantastic in all our photos.
We would do it all again in a heartbeat if we could!
Perfect, professional & personal
It is a wonderful idyllic venue deep in the heart of the lakes surrounded by stunning scenery. The rustic and natural feel of the barn was perfect and wowed all our guests!
We wish we could do it all again!!! Thank you!!!!
They did exactly what they said they’d do!
Absolutely perfect
Sharon and her team were the most perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Hogg even let our flower girls feed their newborn lamb!
Having Weddings By Annabel as part of the package was a huge bonus as Annabel’s knowledge and experience really helped us during the planning process and then having Lindsey with us co-ordinating on the day making sure everything ran smoothly on the day and kept it totally stress free for us and our bridal party.
We cant thank the BITF team enough for making our dream come true and cannot recommend this venue enough to everyone.
