🌿Say "I do" in the heart of the countryside at Deer Park Barn
Tucked away on the stunning Fonthill Estate, Deer Park Barn is a beautifully restored red brick and stone barn that brings rustic charm and timeless romance to your wedding day. Reached by crossing a picture-perfect white bridge and following a tree-lined track alongside the glistening Fonthill Lake, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable setting for your celebration.
Ideal for couples dreaming of a more intimate day, the barn seats up to 30 guests - perfect for a cosy dinner party or laid-back summer drinks. Planning something bigger? A marquee can be set up on the lawn just outside the barn, comfortably hosting several hundred guests for your reception, and dancing under the stars.
Inside, the barn features exposed beams, characterful stone walls and a wood-burning stove adding to the atmosphere. There’s a discreet open-plan kitchen, a separate shower room, and even a mezzanine sleeping platform tucked above. Double doors open onto a private courtyard and - ideal for an outdoor ceremony. Alternatively you can say ''I do'' on the lawn, where outdoor games, food trucks and drinks reception can be located or simply soaking up the sunshine with your guests.
