The venue of our dreams!

The beautiful setting of the granary estates speaks for itself with its natural flint walls, exposed beams, glass walk way, and intimate barn spaces. But the stand out for us was the gorgeous courtyard garden filled with brightly coloured wild flowers and the corn field that surrounds the venue. We were lucky enough to have a warm sunny day and so really made use of all of the outside spaces which were well maintained and looked after to such a high standard. The team was also fantastic, and made sure the day ran seamlessly without ever overly interfering. They guided us and gave us very professional advice when asked but also respected all of our ideas that made our wedding unique to us. Despite it being peak wedding season, we were made to feel very valued and special. The team were easy to communicate with and I really appreciated Joely popping over to the cottages on the wedding morning to reassure us all and to confirm everything was in hand. What stood out was how personable all the staff at the granary were. One reason we chose this venue was because we could bring in our own decorations and entertainment or suppliers without being tied into set packages. There was always flexibility. Overall, we felt everything was very slick and professional whilst maintaining a relaxed, calm and happy atmosphere. A perfect day for us and I would highly recommend this venue! Thank you to all involved.

Our Dream Day

We celebrated our wedding at The Granary Estates this August, and we had the most perfect and special day. Emily along with the full team went above and beyond to make sure we had an absolutely incredible wedding. Everything went so well and every single interaction we had with the team from our initial viewing of the venue to the day itself, was so positive and professional!

All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue itself and the grounds were as well as how fantastic the staff were.

We really were made to feel like our wedding day was the most important thing to the staff and nothing was ever too much of an ask.

We were looking for a venue which we could customise to the specific style we wanted for our special day and we definitely got this – even down to the way the tables were laid out and the drinks we served.

Seeing our vision come to life was beyond special (and even provoked a few tears!) and we are so grateful to everyone at The Granary Estates.

Holly & Michael 25:07:25

We planned our wedding in just six months, and The Granary Barns at The Granary Estates was only the second venue we visited — but it immediately stood out as the perfect place for us. The venue itself is stunning, and the team made us feel confident from the very start that our vision would be understood and brought to life.

From start to finish, Emily and the team were fantastic — nothing was ever too much trouble. I had hundreds of questions and details to check, and they were always patient, helpful, and reassuring. From day one, they completely understood our vision.

We also cannot recommend their wedding open days enough. They showcase wonderful suppliers, and thanks to them we booked an incredible singer and videographer, plus gained so much inspiration.

On the day itself, we trusted Emily and the team 100% with setting the tables, flowers, and décor — and they exceeded every expectation. The venue looked perfect, the tables were set beautifully, and all of our guests raved about what a wonderful setting we had chosen. Emily was on hand all day with the highest standard of professionalism — she was outstanding from start to finish, and truly a joy to have looking after us.

We honestly cannot recommend The Granary Barns highly enough. Thank you for making our day so very, very special!

Best day of our lives!! Mr & Mrs Woods, 7.8.25

Where do we even begin, as soon as we were engaged in July 2022, we started the search for the perfect venue. We got to work on putting together our guest list, and soon realised we would be having a large wedding, therefore needed the venue to accomodate! We began the search, and came across The Granary Estates, we were excited from viewing their website and socials, so booked a viewing straight away in August 2022. We knew instantly that this would be our wedding venue, and started picturing our day and having all of our loved ones there to celebrate with us. We knew we wanted to get married in 2025, and were the first couple to book for this year, so we had a choice of any date we wanted! From August 2022, to August 2025, we received consistent communication, we attended open days with family, Christmas markets, the Tropic skincare evening, any excuse to go back to our wedding venue, we made the visit! Before we knew it we were 2 weeks out from our wedding day, and came in for our final meeting, with Beth and Parris. We talked through every single moment of the wedding in detail, and we felt so at ease after our meeting! I stayed at the venue the night before with my bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and flower girls, we dropped off our supplies to Beth who checked over everything and made sure I wasn't stressed, which funnily enough once I was at the venue I felt so calm! Parris and Beth checked in on us throughout our wedding day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from our prosecco tower, to the confetti cannons during our first dance, our special added extras went down so well, and have been a talking point from our guests since! The Granary Estates is such a beautiful venue, it fit our vibe perfectly, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a venue for any event! We cannot wait to continue to visit for any reason we can, and that is one of the things we love about the venue is that there is always events happening that we can attend! Our guests have had nothing but great things to say about the venue, and echo our reviews of how beautiful, picturesque and perfect it was for our wedding day. Thank you so much again for making our wedding the day of our dreams, we couldn't have done it without the team at Granary Estates, and would do it all again in a heartbeat! Best wishes always, Mr & Mrs Woods x

Incredible

We got married on the 5th July 2025 and Granary Estates was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The venue itself is just stunning and Abbie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Smooth Wedding Day Thanks to a Great Team

We had our wedding at The Granary Estates and had a great experience.

On the day, everything ran perfectly. The team was super helpful with setting up, and the day flowed smoothly without any issues. Our outdoor ceremony (the venue’s first!) was beautifully handled.

A special thanks to Emily, who kept everything on track and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were able to fully enjoy our day — and that meant everything.

The Granary Estates - our perfect wedding venue

The granary estates wast the perfect choice for our big day!! From helping plan, to setting up all the decorations, to ensuring the day ran smoothly and on time, granary estates orchestrated everything perfectly!!! They allowed us to have our individualistic and unique wedding of our dreams while ensuring that from as soon as we walked down the aisle we no longer had to think of a single detail and the whole day ran smoothly! The setting was lovely and we had multiple comments that it was the most beautiful wedding our guests had even been too! Truly perfect, best day of our lives and not a single thing went wrong! Cannot recommend any more highly!

Our perfect day

Everything was perfect- the organising, the help to plan, the team, the venue, everything on the run up to the day was so very helpful. The day itself was everything we had dreamed of, and the team were amazing. We couldn’t be more grateful for the support and kindness- it made a magical day even more special.

Fantastic wedding experience!

The Granary Estates helped us curate a wonderful wedding, from the second we even looked around. The staff are always friendly and helpful. On the wedding day our wedding coordinator silently worked with our grooms and bridal parties to ensure everything flowed seamlessly - which they whole day did!! I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event.

The perfect venue

We couldn't have been happier with The Granary Estates as our wedding venue. From the first time we visited we knew it was 'the one' and we had so many comments from guests saying it was the best venue they've been to. Even though it rained for part of the day, it didn't matter as the inside was so beautiful with the fairy lights and there was plenty of space for all our guests.
Abbie led the coordination of our wedding and her and team were brilliant throughout the planning process, answering our many questions, advising on suppliers, and making sure everything ran perfectly on the day. Friends and family kept asking if they could help set up beforehand but Abbie and team already had everything in hand so we just had to relax!
We also booked the two cottages on site for the weekend which were lovely - and one of them includes a 'getting ready' lounge with space set up for the bridal party to get their hair and makeup done - ideal!
We had a magical day and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue.

Absolutely stunning venue

The Granary Barns is the perfect mix of modern and rustic. The Barn joined by the glass walkway really elevates the venue and helped our wedding day have a lovely indoor-outdoor feel that was welcoming to our guests.

The grounds are excellently maintained and there are so many perfect spots for photo opportunities throughout the day. We had 50 day guests and 80 evening guests and the venue was the perfect size but could have easily held more.

The prop shop with fire pits/ lighting options and other details available were a fab addition and one we loved having access to.

All of the staff at The Granary were so helpful throughout the process from booking to the day of and we will treasure our day forever. We could not have asked for anything better.

Wedding Review

The Granary Estates is a beautiful venue with fantastic staff who are so attentive and supportive. Because of the staff, Beth & Abbie mainly, our day went incredibly smoothly and all of our guests complimented both the venue and the staff.

In the build up to the wedding, Granary were so responsive to emails, our wacky ideas and always had a solution to any problem that we had.

I can't praise the venue or the staff high enough and we are definitely coming back to visit!

Our dream wedding

We were married at The Granary Estates in July 2024 and we cannot thank them enough for putting on our dream wedding. I knew that The Granary Estates was the one for us before we even visited it, but as soon as we arrived for our first visit, we were sold. The girls who work at The Granary Estates seemed to have a reputation amongst all of the suppliers that we spoke to as being incredibly helpful, professional and organised and honestly we cannot agree more. They really do make the whole experience a joy - which is exactly what you need when planning an event like this.
We really did feel like we were able to trust them with everything that we had in mind for the day and we were completely blown away when we arrived and saw our vision in real life.
On the day, we had a slight issue with our registrars not turning up but Megan and her team were so kind and on it, making sure that we were both calm and ensuring everyone was comfortable, even on the hottest day of the year.
It has been less than a week since our wedding and the wedding blues are hitting hard, but we cannot thank the Granary Estates enough for the help they gave us. If you are considering booking The Granary Estates for your event, do it! You will not be disappointed.

Couldn’t have asked for a better team! xx

Beautiful barn with amazing grounds, the Granary Estates is a luxury venue, at an affordable price that we couldn’t recommend more.
Beth and the team were fantastic! They were professional and kept us at ease throughout the planning process, whilst being friendly and genuinely enthusiastic and excited for us.
On the day they took care of everything, we didn’t have to think about any minor details, they had it covered.
If you do book here, ask for Beth!

Wedding at Granary

We got married at The Granary Estates in June 2024 and had the most wonderful day. From our very first planning meeting (when we had no idea about organising a wedding) to greeting us the day before our wedding, the team were absolutely amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful.
Megan was amazing and guided us through everything on our big day and it all ran so smoothly. Everything was set up in the venue for us exactly as expected. We had an amazing day and certainly recommend to anyone wanting a wedding or event in a beautiful barn!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
