Battleswick Farm

A Countryside Wedding That Feels Like a Weekend, Not a Time Slot

Battleswick Farm is a licensed countryside wedding venue designed for couples who don’t want a rushed, templated day.

If you’ve looked at venues where everything feels scheduled, packaged, and slightly impersonal — this is the alternative.

Here, your wedding isn’t fitted into a format.
It’s built around you.

A Day That Flows Naturally

Set within beautiful open countryside, Battleswick Farm gives you the freedom to create a wedding that feels relaxed, personal, and completely your own.

You can choose from three unique ceremony spaces:

  • The 500-year-old Threshing Barn — full of character, warmth, and atmosphere
  • The Haybarn — a laid-back, open setting surrounded by fresh countryside air
  • The Chestnut Tree — a rare licensed outdoor ceremony spot, set in a stunning natural field

Each space connects effortlessly, allowing your day to unfold without interruption, pressure, or being moved along.

🥂 One Venue. Total Flexibility.

When you book Battleswick Farm, the entire venue is yours.

No shared spaces.
No rigid structure.
No feeling like the next wedding is waiting behind you.

  • Up to 120 guests seated / 150 for ceremonies in the Threshing Barn
  • The Haybarn for relaxed dining, drinks, or evening celebrations
  • Outdoor field and Silo Bar for drinks receptions and sunset moments
  • Fully equipped bar areas, PA systems, and guest facilities throughout

You also get access the day before, so you can set up at your own pace — not under pressure.

🌿 More Than a Wedding Day

Battleswick Farm is designed to feel like a full experience, not just a single event.

With space to gather, celebrate, and spend real time together, your wedding naturally becomes something more — a countryside weekend with the people who matter most.

  • Shepherd’s hut tucked among the trees
  • On-site café for relaxed morning-after breakfasts
  • Future on-site accommodation including family rooms & honeymoon suite
  • Dedicated bridal salon for calm, spacious morning preparations

And with plans for further accommodation and a spa experience, the venue continues to evolve into a true wedding retreat.

🤍 Built by People Who Understand Weddings

After more than 25 years in weddings and events, Aaron and Mandy created Battleswick Farm with a clear goal:

To build the kind of venue couples actually want — not one they have to fit into.

They and their team are there to support you throughout, from planning to the day itself, offering guidance, trusted suppliers, and a calm, experienced presence when it matters most.

🎯 Why Couples Choose Battleswick Farm

Because they don’t want:

  • A rushed schedule

  • Or a wedding that feels like everyone else’s

They want something that feels like theirs.
