Amazing Wedding Venue

We hosted our wedding celebrations at Fairbank in June 2024 and couldn’t have asked for more.

To be able to stay on site all weekend with our closest family and friends was amazing. The venue itself is so flexible, amazing views in a beautiful setting. We loved that there were no restrictions on which caterers or suppliers you could choose. The barn is beautiful and such a great space. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fairbank as a wedding venue and wish we could do it all again!

Clare was a great host and coordinated everything so smoothly on the day. Thank you!

Everything we wished for and more!

From the moment we viewed Fairbank we knew it was the venue for us! Fairbank really speaks for itself and the flexibility to DIY and choose your own suppliers according to your needs and vision is super. You can’t predict the weather in the Lakes but Fairbank is well prepared having multiple stunning indoor and outdoor spaces all for your exclusive use. In the months running up to the day we attended an open day for booked couples where we could measure up spaces, show family & friends (you could even bring your wedding planner if you had one) and sit in on an extensive Q&A. Our wedding was in May 2024 on a beautifully sunny weekend - we held our wedding in the ceremony barn followed by confetti, drinks, canapés, games and photos on the lawn. Our wedding breakfast and evening party was in the reception barn with guests free to relax in the gardens whilst we snuck off to the tarn for some epic couple’s photos. The farmhouse was the perfect base to relax in the run-up and post event; we booked an extra night so we had more time to spend with family. The rooms are clean and tidy, the kitchen well equipped (the extra fridge was welcome as it safely stored our wedding cake) and the bridal suite is pure luxury! Owner and wedding coordinator extraordinaire Clare is amazing! She really put us at ease, was friendly, down-to-Earth, attentive and worked tirelessly behind the scenes with her team and our chosen suppliers to ensure our day ran smoothly. We had the most incredible day and if we could do it again we would! Highly recommend Fairbank for a wedding! Photos by Ailsa Reeve Photography.
