The perfect spot for a dream come true!

Barnfield is the perfect venue choice for an outdoors wedding! Plenty of beautiful picture spots and a wonderful team to go with it! Patsy and her family were brilliant. We had regular check ins with her on the lead up and she went above and beyond to help make our day perfect, accomodating to all of our requests! She was especially brilliant the day before when we had some supplier issues and she helped us work the problem out

The Most Beautiful Venue

We would recommend booking Barnfield’s in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding reception here on 7th June 2025 and it truly was the most perfect day even if the weather wasn’t perfect!

Not only is the location absolutely stunning - all of our guests and suppliers made comments on what an absolute hidden gem & how stunning Barnfield’s is but also the most lovely team! Patsy couldn’t have done any more for us from the regular communication throughout the planning process to being so supportive and helping on the day! They really couldn’t have done any more for us!

We had the dry hire package as we wanted to create our event from scratch and Patsy helped us from day one with checking over our suppliers to ensure all okay and to be there for all the questions I had!

It truly is the most perfect venue and we couldn’t be happier that we had our wedding reception here!

Thank you everyone for making our day perfect! ❤️

Beautiful location with amazing hosts

For their first wedding as a business, we were amazed at how faultless and smooth running everything was. We owe so much to Patsy, Zoe, Roy and all the family. The venue was one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I’ve ever seen. To see Patsy and Zoe work together to make our day as perfect as can be, was truly inspirational as a woman. The venue was so accommodating for all of our dogs. The administration that this required prior to the day, was not a simple task, but they never made it seem like anything was too much. I cannot thank everyone enough. Roy, thank you for your woodwork skills, to make our woodland ceremony the wedding of dreams. I would recommend this location over and over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
