Only a stone’s throw from the historic market town of Shrewsbury, Moat Hall Barns is a hidden gem immersed in the beauty of Shropshire's countryside. The sympathetically restored grade II listed farm complex has lakeside views and is set in its own private courtyard, surrounded by a patchwork of grazing pasture and rolling hills.
As a dry-hire venue, whether you're dreaming of a rustic, boho or festival wedding, Moat Hall Barns provides the blank canvas to express your creativity and individuality. Featuring many idyllic spaces, couples will be spoilt for choice on where to host their celebrations and to bring their unique vision to life.
Dating back to the eighteenth century, The Top Barn is the oldest and most architecturally stunning of the buildings and features vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and original red brick walls. Enjoy your wedding breakfast and evening entertainment surrounded by your loved ones and take in the charm and character of the barn's original features.
As if that wasn’t enough, moving upstairs to The Hayloft you will discover the viewing gallery over The Top Barn that doubles as an intimate ceremony area and later a serene space for your guests to relax.
For an outdoor celebration, The Lakeside offers a gorgeous waterside gazebo where you can exchange your vows framed by breathtaking views of the rolling hills. Adjacent to the lake is The Paddock, a lush open space to site an elegant marquee, tipi or bell tents and where guests both young and old can play garden games.
