About

Battleswick Farm is a licensed venue allowing couples to tie the knot not only inside but in 2023 a rare exception was made to allow couples to legally get married underneath the enchanting Chestnut tree which sits on a picturesque field.

Inside the farm's 500-year-old, the Threshing Bar can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests. The rustic charm of the barn, combined with its rich history, makes it the perfect setting for a romantic and unforgettable wedding. The second area is under the haybarn, where guests can enjoy the fresh country air, surrounded by the picturesque countryside. This location is perfect for couples who want a more relaxed and informal wedding.

Finally, the third area is outside, under the magnificent chestnut tree, which provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. This location is perfect for couples who want a natural, elegant, boho outdoor wedding.

Owners Aaron and Mandy are thrilled to share this idyllic location with couples hoping to say ‘I do’ against the backdrop of nature.
