Facilities and Capacity

At Earth Trust, you can celebrate your wedding festivities in a charming and lovingly renovated 19th-century barn. The oak-framed Fison Barn is ideal for your main reception celebrations. Its doors open onto the courtyard, which provides an ideal space for a marquee, pre-wedding drinks, or relaxing. Fison Barn can comfortably accommodate 200 guests for a standing reception, while seated festivities can have 85 attendees. Poem Tree Barn, meanwhile, can be used for seating or catering and both Fison Barn and the courtyard are licensed for wedding ceremonies. Couples can also hold humanist ceremonies, handfasting, and blessings in one of the beautiful outdoor green spaces. The indoor spaces at this property are warmed by biomass heaters, while electricity is generated by solar panels.
