About

Beautiful, natural, sustainable and slightly wild.... In a stunning, nature-filled corner of North Essex, beside a lake and surrounded by meadows and woodland on a small family farm, the Barn Field and its surroundings offer a unique, special place for your celebration. This venue is available for hire for a small number of weddings each year during the summer (May to September), at weekends (Fridays or Saturdays only), with a maximum of one wedding or event each week. The venue is a beautiful 'blank canvas', allowing you to design your unique day your way. Hire is either on a dry hire basis or with a package including tipis/stretch tent and furniture, lighting, etc.

Following a track through the meadows and down a tree-lined avenue, you reach the area known as 'Mount Nebo' situated in the Barn Field. Almost 5 acres of the farm are available for your exclusive use here. Hire includes exclusive access the day before your wedding and until 2 pm the day after. The land is a good distance from any house and offers loads of opportunities for you to be creative about how you use it. The spaces are:

  • the beautiful lake and land surrounding it
  • the willow field, with majestic rows of silvery willow trees and butterfly-filled grassland
  • the woodland, with rows of mature trees
  • the Barn Field, with stunning views

Facilities include:

  • 3-phase power with generator backup
  • Water supply
  • Space for camping and accommodation for up to 6 people in a converted barn near the farmhouse
  • Ample parking and full access to the site

The lake has space beside it for tipis or marquees for up to 140 people, food trucks, and other catering accommodations.

For events of more than 140 people, please contact us directly to discuss arrangements.

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.
