About
The Octagon Barn is a stunning vaulted ceiling Barn built in the late 1600’s. Yours exclusively for the day, it is the perfect venue to welcome your guests and create your special day to be everything you had imagined and more.
We are ideally located 5 miles east from the centre of Norwich and only a stones throw away from the Little Plumstead Church.
Here at The Octagon Barn, we pride ourselves in our flexibility, as we know that each wedding is unique, we therefore strive to support you in any way that we can.
The barn provides its own flexibility due to its size, allowing you to make use of it in many different ways. Parties from 30 to 230 can be seated comfortably alongside the dance floor, meaning you can enjoy your wedding entertainment to its full potential, without having to rearrange. We can also accommodate up to 350 guests for a buffet type wedding breakfast.
Our beautiful enclosed garden provides the perfect area for your guests to relax, enjoy some welcome drinks on the lawn, and maybe even play some games. It also offers a beautiful backdrop for some family photos.
Set in 25 acres of land, the Octagon Barn has plenty of beautiful hidden spots for you both to escape to and have your wedding photographs taken.

Hi, I’m Ella – Wedding & Events manager at The Octagon Barn and in-house stylist behind LAOD Styles. I’ve always believed that the magic is in the details, and I feel incredibly lucky to spend my days helping couples and clients create moments they’ll remember forever.
At The Octagon Barn, I manage everything from intimate elopements to full-scale celebrations, ensuring each event feels deeply personal and runs smoothly from start to finish. My goal is always to make the planning process feel effortless and fun – like you’ve got a friend who just happens to know all the logistics.
With LAOD Styles, I get to bring my love for design into the mix, curating beautiful, intentional styling that reflects your vision and personality. Whether it's layering textures, picking just the right shade of linen, or reimagining a space entirely, I’m all about creating a vibe that feels like you.
When I’m not styling or managing events, you’ll probably find me scouring vintage markets for hidden gems, scrolling through Pinterest, or sitting in my garden reading with a tea in hand.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Hello, I’m Libby – wedding planner and events coordinator at The Octagon Barn. I’m here to make sure your big day feels as seamless, joyful, and uniquely you as possible.
With a background in bridal styling and colour analysis, I bring an eye for detail and a love for personal touches to every event I plan. Whether it’s curating your colour palette, helping you find that perfect dress, or orchestrating all the behind-the-scenes logistics, I’m passionate about creating a day that looks and feels effortlessly beautiful.
At The Octagon Barn, I work closely with couples to bring their vision to life – from the first mood board to the final toast. I believe planning your wedding should be an experience in itself: exciting, inspiring, and full of heart.
When I’m not planning weddings or coordinating your event, you’ll probably find me at brunch with my friends, scrolling through Insta for inspo, or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee and my partner.
I’d love to help you create a day that feels like absolute magic.
