Venue of Dreams

Secret Valley was the perfect venue for our wedding. Our guests had the most amazing time, and having everyone stay on site made the whole weekend feel so special. Communication throughout the planning process was brilliant, and there was so much to keep everyone entertained, from the toy barn for the children to the farm animals.
The lakeside ceremony setting was absolutely stunning, and the barn was beautiful and perfectly laid out. The adjoining kitchen worked fantastically for the wedding breakfast, and the space comfortably accommodated the bar, dining area, and dance floor all under one roof. The draped marquee-style ceiling and lighting created a truly magical atmosphere.
It was a stunning venue and a weekend that we, our family, and our friends will never forget. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding.

The Most Incredible Wedding Weekend

I had my wedding here, and I honestly cannot recommend this venue enough.
I don't even know where to begin!

Will and his entire team were so welcoming, friendly, and incredibly easy to talk to. I had countless questions throughout the planning process, and they always replied promptly with the most helpful responses. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and they really went above and beyond to make everything as stress-free as possible.

One of the things we loved most was being able to access the venue the day before the wedding to set everything up and get organised. Having the entire venue to ourselves meant we could decorate at our own pace without feeling rushed. We even had a fantastic barbecue the evening before, which made the whole weekend feel even more special.

On the wedding day, we had our ceremony by the lake, and it was absolutely breathtaking. We also had our wedding breakfast outside, taking full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. One of the best things about the venue is the amount of space it offers—there are so many stunning areas to choose from, allowing you to create a day that feels completely unique.

The venue itself is incredible, with two beautiful lakes, a vineyard, a working farm, and the most picturesque countryside views. Every direction you look is the perfect backdrop for photos. In the evening, we celebrated in the huge barn, which was the perfect space for all of our guests.

Our family and friends had the most amazing weekend, and I honestly only wish we had stayed longer so we could enjoy the venue even more. The children had a fantastic time in the sandpit, playing in the games room, exploring the grounds, and meeting the animals.

This venue truly exceeded all of our expectations. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the team made the whole experience feel effortless from start to finish. It was everything we dreamed of and more, providing the perfect setting for the best day of our lives. I've attached a few photos that I hope capture just how stunning the venue was and how perfectly it set the scene for our wedding day.

If you're looking for a beautiful venue with an outstanding team who genuinely care about making your day unforgettable, this is it.

Perfect glamping wedding venue

I coordinated a wedding here this month and the site is just perfect for a glamping or festival style wedding. The staff here are just great and very approachable. My couple had an amazing wedding day and everyone involved had the best time. I really hope to work here again soon. There is so much space and the ceremony by the lake was so beautiful

We recently catered for a wedding at Secret Valley. As a supplier and external caterer, the team were really welcoming and supportive, resulting in a fantastic day for all guests in attendance. We look forward to hopefully working together with the team again.

Stunning set up

We worked alongside Secret Valley Glamping for a wedding, and couldn’t be more thrilled!
Their set up was stunning and we heard lots of positive feedback about them from the clients when we collected our hay bales.
Looking forward to working with them again soon.

Fantastic venue for a unique, festival vibe wedding

We held our wedding here in early September and can only give Secret Valley the highest praise! We probably went into the 'full DIY wedding' set up a little naively as there is a lot to consider and organise, but the result was a fully bespoke wedding weekend with everything exactly how we wanted it. The site is stunning and so large that the possibilities seem endless. The majority of our guests stayed on site Friday - Sunday and we made full use of all the facilities on offer, we hosted pizza and quiz night in the Games Barn, a 5K park run, lake swimming, and were lucky that the weather held to have our ceremony and reception drinks down by the lake and oak tree. Lucy, Will and the team were super easy to communicate with throughout the year and on the week of the wedding were so helpful, particularly in receiving various deliveries onsite before we arrived. All of our guests commented on how unique the venue was, it really felt like a personal festival. We are so excited that we will be able to return to this special place in the future to remember our wedding.

Brilliant Glamping extraordinary working farm and land

We have just had an awesome weekend at Secret Valley attending a wedding. It was such a laid back wedding and totally magical and ‘wild’ in the sense that nature was very much part of the event. We were very happy with our wigwam. We reckon the sofas converted to a king size mattress so we had plenty of room. This may be useful to know for those bringing their own bedding. We were very happy with toilet which wasn’t far away at all and was proper flushing toilet which was cleaned every day. Showers in the block were clean and hot throughout the weekend. We had a 5k hike and a swim in the lake - just fantastic. The lamas and donkeys made us smile. Nothing was too much when we needed something. A quirky service which we embraced was the quad bike making rounds offering wine (at £25 the sparking wine was great value and made on site).
We would 💯 recommend Secret Valley for a glamping experience and fully intend to return return to repeat the fun another summer

The Most Beautiful Wedding Venue!

My wife and I recently hosted our Wedding at Secret Valley, and we cannot recommend this place highly enough! The team were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the organisation of the Wedding and on the weekend itself, big shout out to both Lucy and Will for being so great! The venue is absolutely stunning, the lakeside made a really special place to have our ceremony and the barn was the perfect blank canvas to realise our dream of a festival themed wedding! The accommodation options are all brilliant, with all the amenities you need to have a very comfortable few days. The wine they make is top notch so I can also highly recommend getting a bottle (or three) of the rose!

If you are thinking of hiring this venue either for a wedding or an event, or even just to stay for a little getaway, you won't regret it!
