    Beautiful venue, run by amazing people.

    Folly Farm orchestrated the perfect wedding stay for us. The team were brilliant at making our timeline and different rooms work for us and our guests. They were so professional and really helped to keep a calm, happy atmosphere, even when dealing with unplanned mishaps.

    We can’t thank the team enough for the quick and clear communication from the moment we booked the venue, to the morning after our wedding.

    Our guests were blow away by the views and the walks around the barn and we have the most incredible pictures that capture how beautiful the farmhouse, barn and nature reserve is.

    The food! The food at folly farm was delicious. Our guests are still talking about the pies, the pizza and the canapés.

    We loved our wedding. Thank you Folly Farm for making it special and unique to us.

    Christmas wedding at Folly Farm

    So as the brides parents, and the fact that we have had organized some pretty epic parties in our time (and the bride used to work in the wedding hospitality sector!) this was always going to be a big deal handing over the organisation of the biggest celebration that our families and friends were ever going to attend.
    Well, we need not have worried. Folly Farm went with our wacky ideas (German Christmas market theme evening buffet, casino, construction of a massive bauble arch, only a 2 course wedding breakfast but more canapes - the guests are always starving after the ceremony!) And over the weekend Matt and Jason were like human dynamos, any little problems were swiftly sorted out. The young staff worked their little socks off and actually joined in with the day - we may have encouraged that!
    The food was amazing - especially the vegan options. How you serve a full blown Christmas dinner to 80 odd people and deliver it pipping hot is incredible. The friday night dinner/breakfasts were pretty darn good as well.
    Lauren and George's remit for the day was to deliver a wedding day filled with fun and laughter, with a relaxed vibe - Folly Farm you delivered in spades, it really was the best day and we couldn't fault a thing, even the weather played ball. And the fact that you are a charity plus big on sustainability and we weren't giving our hard earned cash to a big multi national hotel chain might have had something to do with it, thank you ALL so much for a very,very special day.

    Stunning countryside wedding

    We got married at Folly Farm in October 2023 and the entire wedding (all the way from the initial planning to the actual day) was absolutely fantastic. Clare and her team are so great and so flexible, I really do believe they want you to have the best day, which I don't think a lot of places can honestly say.

    Folly Farm is incredibly good value for money and effort. I am not saying it's cheap, because it's not, but it is a lot cheaper than many other venues that I don't think are as good in my own opinion. It has beautiful scenery surrounding it and has some wonderful amenities. We had our reception in the Barn, and stayed the entire weekend. All our guests loved being able to stay on site and we had the best time of our lives that weekend.

    We booked an extra night as it just gave us a little bit more time to clear up and enjoy the weekend without it feeling like a huge rush. I would recommend doing that if you want a more chilled experience.

    One thing to mention is the food is absolutely incredible. Clare and her team are proper chefs, and they produce some of the best food I have ever eaten in the UK. One thing that all our guests said was how good the food was. The only teeny tiny problem was that there was probably too much, so remind your guests about this.

    Overall I cannot recommend Folly Farm enough. It's a beautiful venue, it has everything you need and you will be taken care of. 100% recommend.

    Best day of our lives!

    What an amazing venue! Ever since we looked round the venue two years ago right up till the Sunday morning when we left the venue, the team at Folly Farm have been absolutely brilliant. The venue itself is beautiful and a lovely location, and the weekend price including accom for 50 people is the same price as some venues charge for one day (!) So they are great value for money as well. The food was absolutely amazing, they were so flexible with our requirements and gave us exactly what we wanted. They allowed us to make the day exactly how we wanted it to be and we cannot thank them enough. The team on the day of the wedding we're absolutely brilliant - Matt was such a calming presence and so efficient with everything, it all felt so smooth with no worries for us. We loved this venue and think it's a perfect place to get married. If we could do it all again, we would.

    Outstanding!

    What an amazing venue for a wedding. My son and his new wife wanted a stress free, relaxed feel to their wedding which is exactly what they had. We had the venue for two nights which I would highly recommend. We provided a BBQ for the guests the evening before the wedding, giving our guests the opportunity to get to know each other - it couldn't have been more relaxed. Having exclusive use of the venue allowed all our guests to have accommodation on site. The wedding day itself could not have gone better thanks to the staff / wedding co-ordinators. From start to finish, it was just perfect and I would highly recommend this venue!

    Tom Harvey

    We had a wonderful weekend wedding at Folly. It felt like a holiday for those staying from Friday to Sunday as we self catered Friday, with catered breakfasts Saturday and Sunday and all the trimmings Saturday.

    The food is through their caterer and probably one of the nicest wedding foods we've ever had. Everyone raved about our wedding breakfast and they accommodated those with dietary needs very well. The drinks package was generous.

    We were able to create the day that best suit us. Unfortunately it rained so we could not get married outside but the team were very good at leaving it to the last possible minute to make a decision whether we were getting married inside or outside. And the indoor ceremony was absolutely beautiful.

    We can't thank everyone at Folly enough. It is a beautiful and unique venue that our guests and ourselves absolutely loved, and allowed us to create a wedding that was quintessentially 'us'.

    The Rowles Wedding 10/08/23

    I absolutely adored the venue. It really did look as if we were abroad! Everything was so relaxed and I truly had nothing to worry about, as Folly Farm took all of our props/decorations and sorted everything behind the scenes. The food was delicious from Thyme Chef, with lots of compliments from our guests! Would definitely recommend! Xx
