The Normans

Wow! What an incredible venue!
The Norman’s was the very first wedding venue we booked to view back in September 2024, and we instantly knew it was the one. We had three other venues booked in for viewings over the following weeks, but after seeing The Norman’s, we cancelled them all. Nothing else could compare!

We were greeted by Sharon, who welcomed us with the warmest smile and so much enthusiasm as she showed us around their absolutely stunning venue. She talked us through how a typical wedding day would run and showed us all the different areas we would have access to.

Our tour began in the beautiful ceremony barn, which was adorned with fairy lights and candles, creating the most romantic, rustic atmosphere. We could instantly picture ourselves standing at the end of the aisle, ready to say, “I do” and begin our forever together. It was everything we had imagined and more.

We were then shown the other areas available to us, including the cow stalls and a smaller back room complete with comfy armchairs, log burners and large seating booths. As we were planning an autumn wedding, these spaces looked absolutely perfect and so cosy!

Next was the main barn, where we would hold our wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. Honestly, it was breathtaking! Filled with beautiful fairy lights and tables set out just as we had envisioned, it gave us an instant feel for how magical our wedding day could look. The space had absolutely everything we needed, from plenty of room for our guests to a fully stocked bar, dance floor and stage for our evening entertainment.

We also got to view the on-site accommodation, which was just as beautiful. There was a gorgeous two-bedroom bridal cottage with the most stunning space for getting ready and glamming up on the morning of the wedding, as well as a six-bedroom cottage for our bridal party to stay in the night before. Both had such a lovely, cosy cottage feel and were perfect for what we needed, as well as looking beautiful in our photographs.

After the tour, Sharon took us to the office to go through any questions we had and discuss the finer details. We left feeling so excited and confident that we had all the information we needed to make our decision which, of course, was to book The Norman’s!

From that very first viewing right through to our wedding day, Sharon kept in regular contact with us, which was so reassuring. As the big day approached, she sent us helpful information about what to expect, a breakdown of how the day would run and reminders of anything else we needed to arrange or plan. We always felt informed, supported and in safe hands.

One of the many things we loved about The Norman’s is that you get access to the venue from around lunchtime the day before your wedding, giving you plenty of time to set up any personal touches yourselves. You then have until 11am the day after the wedding day to check out, meaning you can enjoy your wedding weekend without the stress of tight set-up and pack-down deadlines. Having that extra time makes such a difference and allows you to truly relax and enjoy the experience.

We had ordered a large neon sign to put somewhere in the venue and Sharons husband David had no problem taking it and sorting this for us and placed it hanging perfectly behind our top table, it was something I was slightly stressing about leading up to the wedding as to how and where we would hang it but he took it off our hands and took care of it instantly for us.

The step up went so smoothly and when we arrived the other suppliers such as caterers and florist/stylist had already been and set up the space and it looked way better than we had ever imagined.

Now, onto the wedding day itself… WOW!

Sharon and David were incredible. They were so hands-on, attentive and dedicated to making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Everyone always tells you that something will go wrong on your wedding day, but honestly, we cannot think of a single thing that didn’t run smoothly!
Sharon even came to check on me on the morning of the wedding to see how I was feeling, let me know what time the registrars would be arriving and reassure me that she would come and collect me when it was time to make my way down the aisle. Those little touches made such a difference and helped everything feel calm and organised.

Both Sharon and David went above and beyond throughout the day. They genuinely couldn’t do enough for us, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. It was such a special feeling knowing that everything was being taken care of, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends.

One particularly lovely touch was that Sharon kept some of our evening food warm for us and gave it to us at the end of the night to take back to our cottage. After a full day of celebrating, drinking, dancing and spending time with all our loved ones, it was very much appreciated!

We also have to give a huge shout-out to Hog & Apple, The Norman’s exclusive caterers, who were absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible, and even now, we’ve had so many of our guests tell us how delicious everything was and how much they loved it. We decided to move away from the more traditional wedding breakfast menu and opted for their Nando’s-inspired feast instead, which went down an absolute treat with everyone!
It was exactly what we wanted for our day, something a little different, relaxed and full of flavour, which our guests could really enjoy. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice and would highly recommend Hog & Apple to anyone getting married. They really helped make our wedding breakfast something special!

We honestly cannot recommend The Norman’s enough. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but it’s Sharon and David’s care, dedication and personal touches that make it truly special. From our very first viewing to the very end of our wedding day, we felt supported, looked after and completely at ease.

If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, romantic, rustic and full of character, with a team who genuinely care about making your day perfect, then The Norman’s is the place for you.

You really do have to see it to believe it. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding, and we will be forever grateful to Sharon, David and the team for helping make our day so incredibly special.

Wish we could do it all again.

The Norman’s did an amazing job, we ended up having our day between two major storms and the Norman’s handled it brilliantly. We were married off site so the ceremony barn was used as a reception area, it was warm and inviting despite the awful weather outside and the staff went above and beyond to keep all the guests warm and dry! We had a large number of young children attending and set up a ‘baby room’ in the tack room which worked brilliantly. All our guests had a great time and so did we! Oliver was amazing on the day and Sharon was so helpful in the run up getting organised! Thank you both!

Wow - I don’t even know where to start with this review. To start, I’ll say if you’re even considering The Normans as a venue, you NEED to book it. You will not regret it!

From the moment we stepped foot into the Norman’s in September 2024, I knew I had to get married there. We booked in October 2024 and then got married in September 2026. Throughout our planning, Oliver, Sharon and the team at the Norman’s couldn’t be of more help. Every time we emailed or contacted them, nothing was ever too much.

We had our wedding last weekend, we arrived on Friday and we were left to our own devices to set up. In the background the team were dealing with any issues that arose and answered all questions we had. We had the venue for three days which really took the stress out of the set up and the clean up.

We couldn’t be more thankful for everyone at the Norman’s for all the help and guidance they gave us.

Our day itself was seamless, the team organised everyone and everything. They ensured our guests and suppliers were looked after. We’ve had so many compliments about the venue and the food.

The hog and apple who supply the food are incredible, you will never ever have food like it. Especially at a wedding! They were also incredibly helpful throughout the planning stages and on the day, Katie from the Hog and Apple really went out of her way to ensure we had everything we wanted.


We had the most incredible wedding day and we believe that it was made so amazing by the team at the Norman’s and Hog&Apple.

Cannot give Oliver and Sharon at The Normans enough stars for how incredible they were.
No question too small and very responsive during the whole process. Oliver was incredible on the setup/day of and made sure everything went smoothly.
Even did a video for social media which we now have forever as we didn't get a videographer/content creator. Honestly the best team and most beautiful day.

There are simply not enough words to do justice to how incredible The Normans were as a wedding venue.

From the moment we first viewed the venue, right through to the final moments of our wedding day, Oliver, Sharon and the entire team made us feel like we were the most important people in the world. Planning a wedding can be a lot at times, but The Normans have perfected the balance of professionalism, organisation and genuine care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, no request felt too big or too small, and every question was met with patience, reassurance and expert advice.

The venue itself is stunning, and even after multiple visits, still makes you feel a certain way. The beautifully restored barns, stunning grounds and thoughtful attention to detail create a setting that feels both incredibly special and completely relaxed at the same time. It's one of those rare venues that genuinely exceeds the expectations set by the photographs.

What really sets The Normans apart, however, is the people. The team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran seamlessly. They anticipated needs before we even knew we had them, managed suppliers effortlessly, and allowed us to spend the day entirely focused on enjoying ourselves and making memories with our loved ones. Oliver, who worked the day, ended up feeling like another member of the family by the day's end and that, as much as anything else, is testament to just how much he and the rest of the team took care of us on the day. The result was, without question, the best day of our lives.

A massive shoutout too to their catering partners, Hog and Apple, who delivered a phenomenal dining experience. The food was exceptional from start to finish and weeks later our guests are still talking about it. Having attended plenty of weddings myself, it's not often the food becomes one of the stars of the show, but Hog and Apple achieved exactly that.

If you're considering The Normans, stop looking and book it. We genuinely cannot imagine a better venue, team or experience. Just wish we could do it all again.

A personal thank you to Oliver, Sharon and every member of the team. You didn't just host our wedding; you helped create memories that we will stick with us for the rest of our lives. We felt cared for, supported and celebrated every step of the way, and we'll always be grateful for the role you played in making our day so special.

We had our wedding at The Normans in May and it was truly wonderful. The venue is beautiful, the catering amazing, and the team couldn't do enough for us. There was wonderfully quick communication throughout the planning process and no question was too much. The day ran so smoothly with their on the day guidance and we had the absolute best time!! Thank you so much!

We got married at The Normans on 9th May 2026. The Normans is an absolutely amazing venue in itself but the way Oliver and the team managed the day for us was next level and we couldn’t have asked for anything more - thank you so so much!! We had the absolute best day from start to finish and would recommend the venue to anyone. The entire process and organisation was seamless from start to finish and we couldn’t have wished for anything more! Thank you for everything!! Love from Ellie and James xx

Where do I even start, Oliver and his team were the most amazing hosts from the minute we met them, they made us feel so special and showed us around the venue virtually at first as we had a newborn baby and struggling to find time to visit the venue.

We booked instantly from a virtual viewing as there were only 2 Saturdays left for the following year, and you can totally understand, the venue is so thought out, everything is considered to make sure you and your guests have the most amazing day.

The venue is stunning that I saved so much on decor as it didn’t need anything adding, only a few personal touches for the groom and I.

Another thing I loved was that the ceremony room and wedding breakfast area are seperate so it ensures you day flows and no changing of a room during the day.

Oliver met us the day before our wedding and no request was too much, he took away all of the stress for Steve and I and it allowed us to be fully present with our guests.

The accommodation is beautiful and there is a big car park for guests to park the day / overnight. The venue felt like ours for the weekend and I’m sad to see other weddings there as it truly felt it was ours.

The catering from the hog and apple is also fantastic and you can tell the team work well together to make sure everything is smooth on the day.

I couldn’t recommend the venue enough - it was the first venue I looked at and being a bit of a perfectionist I knew I wouldn’t have found better. If you want a personal, family feel then The Norman’s is for you.

Thank you so so much to the team, Steve and I will never ever forget all of the effort that when into the day and how you made us feel.

We had our Spring wedding at The Normans and are so glad we picked this venue. It is a beautiful, rustic, authentic place, tonnes and tonnes of gorgeous fairy lights to enhance it but has also kept its natural charm with lots of original features. Even on a chilly, windy spring day, it was warm and cosy which was exactly the vibe we wanted!

From day one, the communication from Oliver and Sharon was fantastic. They made us feel like the only engaged couple on the planet! They went out of their way to accommodate what we asked for, answered questions promptly and were so warm and professional as well. We cannot thank them and all the staff enough for being a part of our special day!

My husband and I got married at The Normans in December 2025 and we cannot recommend it enough as a venue.

We actually booked The Normans based on just my husband's viewing (I didn't see it until months later as we were living abroad), because he was so certain it was the perfect place. And he was right!

Oliver, Sharon and the whole Normans team are absolute pros at making sure everything runs smoothly (both in the run up and on the Big Day), and it was clear they really cared about each detail to make our wedding (and I suspect every single wedding they do) special. We didn't worry about a thing on the day because Sharon was masterfully managing everything for us.

The venue itself was beautiful - especially in the winter as the Christmas trees and lights everywhere made it utterly magical. But beyond that, one of the things we loved most about The Normans is that, because it is specifically a wedding venue, every single detail is considered for that purpose - from the wall of fairy lights in the Ceremony Barn, to the cottages on site (one with a getting ready room, as well as fancy hooks to hang your dress!), to how Oliver and Sharon manage the "flow" of the day with guests moving from space to space. The whole experience is incredibly intentional and well thought out.

Hog and Apple (the designated caterer) are also incredible and multiple guests said it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding.

Thank you to the whole Normans + H&A team for the most incredible day!

The Norman’s was the perfect venue! Oliver and Sharon were fantastic from start to finish - they were always extremely welcoming and happy to accommodate our requests. Oliver did a great job on the day of organising/ keeping things on time, calming our nerves before the big moments and being a hype-man when needed!

The venue itself is perfect! Couldn’t imagine getting married at a different venue. The barn was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and the grain shed was the perfect setting for the wedding breakfast/ party afterward. When we walked in the day before to set up, we thought that the venue looked so nice that it didn’t even need any additional decorations.

Our wedding day couldn’t have gone much better and that’s in no small part to The Norman’s and Oliver/Sharon, so we are extremely appreciative and couldn’t recommend them any more!!

The wedding venue of our dreams! We had the absolute best day of our lives at The Normans. The stunning country surroundings and the breath-taking ceremony and reception barns - not to mention the cosy fireplaces and quiet nooks - are all part of what makes this place so special. Ideal for weddings of any seasons (ours was a gloomy autumn day!), this place is perfect dressed up or kept as is. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding venue they’d ever been to, especially when the double doors were thrown open to the grain shed and they were met with the enormous reception barn (which they’d had no idea even existed). We partied all night on the dance floor with our fab band and felt that we were properly looked after by both the smooth-running of the venue and the friendly staff from start to finish. The food from caterer partner The Hog & Apple made the day even more special, and we felt that no ask was too much by anyone at The Normans or H&A. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

We don’t even know where to begin in describing how perfect our wedding experience was at this venue. From the very first visit, we knew it was something special — but the level of care, professionalism, and warmth we received from Sharon, Oliver, and the entire team completely exceeded anything we could have imagined.

Every step of the planning process was made so much easier thanks to the team's incredible attention to detail and their calm, reassuring presence. They were always ready with advice, answers, and solutions, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We genuinely felt looked after from day one, and that kind of support makes such a difference when planning a wedding (which I found can be quite stressful!). Any questions and queries were answered quickly and in detail that it took a lot of stress off the planning process.

The day before and on the day itself, Sharon and the whole team were absolute legends. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they did it with such kindness, confidence, and professionalism. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing — they had it all completely under control, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment.

Our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, how seamless the day felt, and how friendly and welcoming every member of staff was. So many people commented on how well the day flowed, and that’s entirely down to the team’s hard work, organisation, and genuine dedication to making the day perfect - so many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

The venue itself is breathtaking — from the stunning ceremony space with the fairy lights, to the gorgeous reception areas and the incredible photo opportunities everywhere you look. But what truly sets this place apart is the people. Sharon, Oliver, and the entire team go above and beyond in every possible way. It felt like they put their hearts into what they do and that our wedding was the only one that mattered at the time and it shows. I am sure every single couple feel the exact same as this.

We will forever be grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped us create. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made, and we would recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding day that feels magical, effortless, and genuinely cared for. Thank you all so much — our day wouldn’t have been the same without you and we are beyond upset we can't redo the day again, but hopefully we will be back to visit at some point in the near future.

The Normans was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From the moment we first visited, we were given a great welcome and could tell how professional and well-organised the team were.

Their communication throughout the planning process was exceptional - every question was answered quickly and clearly, giving us complete confidence in the run-up to the day.

The venue itself is stunning and created such an incredible atmosphere; we’ve had so many comments from guests saying how amazing it was. The food, provided by Hog & Apple, was tremendous - multiple guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

On the day, everything ran seamlessly thanks to Oliver, who managed the guests and all the vendors perfectly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy ourselves.

Overall, a highly (highly!) recommended venue for anyone considering The Normans - they exceeded every expectation and made the day truly special.

My husband and I fell in love with this place when we first saw it in the middle of a thunderstorm and knew straight away this was where we were getting married! Every room in this venue was beautifully set up and we knew this was us when we saw the lights and exposed brick in the ceremony room to the grain bags in the stables for guests to relax. We had many visits with varying family members and attended a Hog and Apple food tasting which was AMAZING! Sharon was a superstar on the day and was on hand to sort out the music, calm down the groom before the vows and make sure the day went perfectly. All the guests commented on how amazing the venue was and how they wished they had got married there or would love to get married there! The Hog and Apple put on some amazing food which guests have enjoyed telling me was delicious and the best food they have tasted which we would have to agree, The Hog and Apple staff were amazing and we would not have changed a single thing!
