Located outside Fressingfield near Framlingham in Suffolk, The Sancroft Barns is a wedding venue for those seeking to wed or celebrate in England's fabulous East Anglian countryside. This lightly renovated Barn venue combines both rustic features with a classic heritage exterior that is essential for a celebration that will live long in your memory. With a plethora of indoor character and outdoor event space available, The Sancroft Barns can host the wedding of which you've always dreamed – with a dry-hire venue you get a blank canvas and flexibility to create your very own special day. With lovely panoramic views of the countryside, this setting provides an idyllic romantic atmosphere.
Facilities and Capacity
You and your loved one can kickstart your day by tying the knot either in the gorgeous Tudor Barn (seats 115, licensed for 125), which is complete with massive wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls and more, or outside in the glorious sunshine or shade of the trees. After your ceremony (whether it is here or at a nearby church or registry office) you and your guests can make their way to the stunning courtyard for a splendid drinks’ reception. Here, you can chat and mingle with friends and family, sip on drinks of your choice, and admire the beauty of the buildings and venue. You will probably follow this with a delicious wedding feast in the Stackyard Marquee, using a caterer of your choice. This expansive area can accommodate your entire guest list (plus a few more as it seats 135) and can set the tone for your magical day. A night of laughter and dancing can then unfold back in the Barn with music and stunning light-show. There is space for seated guests, a bar, dance floor, and live entertainment or disco again of your choice. With the option for smaller (or winter) weddings of using only the Barn (up to 40) or having a giant marquee in the paddock (200+), you can perfectly tailor your exact requirements around the venue.
Services Offered
Upon booking your big day at The Sancroft Barns, the venue staff will be on-hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly. But being a dry-hire venue, you have the freedom to work with all outside suppliers to best match your specific requirements. The venue staff can advise you in the complete setup of the venue, which you will then transform into the venue of your dreams for this very special day.

From our very first meeting, Jeremy was nothing but helpful; giving us advice and ideas of his own and from previous weddings. It really felt like we could do what we want to make it personal to us. Not only were they amazing during the planning stage, they remained calm and organised on the day to make sure it still ran smoothly. The staff have a background/behind the scenes vibe and this was evident in the way everything was carried out on the day.
The venue itself is incredible - the barn has so much history written into its wall and the grounds have all the photo opportunities you could want. We could camp on site which made it a whole weekend celebration and our guests didn't have to travel too far before hitting the hay.
Jeremy and Rachael also took over the communication to the vendors which was a huge relief. We have had lots of comments about how our wedding was so chilled and relaxed and we always say that is because of Jeremy and Rachael. We both feel very very grateful that we were able to use Sancroft to host our special day.
It is evident that Jeremy and Rachael just want their couples to have the most amazing wedding day because they love what they do.
We would recommend Sancroft Barns to everybody! 100%

What a special place!
We had been getting frustrated when looking at other venues, which badged themselves as 'yours to do what you want with' - until you started actually asking "could we do x?" Most venues felt soulless, commercial and 'cookie cutter'.
Then we came across Sancroft. It was clear throughout that Jeremy and Rachael are doing this because they love it. They enjoy helping people have the best day of their lives. They say "yes, and..." when you have a fun idea, and nothing was too much trouble. They are truly lovely people, as well as being super organised, responsive, calm, and all the other things that you need to make a wedding run smoothly. The other venue staff on the day were also fantastic - you'd hardly know they were there if it weren't for the fact that everything that was supposed to be sorted was seamlessly sorted in the background.
The barn itself is absolutely stunning. The rafters, the original wattle and daub, and the tally marks from counting grain long ago, are both beautiful and fascinating. There are so many gorgeous photo spots in the grounds, from wheat fields to wildflower meadows.
Having guests to stay on site was fantastic for us. It made it feel like a full weekend, and meant people really committed to the party as they only had to stumble back to their tents!
We were constantly getting comments from guests about how lovely the venue was and "how did you manage to find such a gem?"
We are so, so lucky to have got married at Sancroft and would 100% recommend it.

The best venue ever
Lots of love
Mr & Mrs Seaman
Truly the most wonderful venue!
The setting is absolutely stunning and incredibly versatile. Having both the barn and the marquee was perfect, it gave our guests the choice in the evening to either enjoy the band or relax and chat in a quieter space. The gardens were beautifully kept and added so much charm to the day. Everything came together seamlessly, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our wedding at such a magical place.
Thank you Jeremy and Rachel for all your help and support!
Dream Wedding Venue - Beyond Expectations!
Jeremy and Rachael went above and beyond and were incredibly professional and accommodating throughout the planning, set up and on the day. Our guests cannot stop messaging saying how lovely they were and how great the venue was.
We are so grateful to have chosen Sancroft Barns for our wedding celebration and we highly recommend it to any couple searching for their dream location!
Perfect venue, beautiful blank canvas
Wedding day arrived and everything was perfect, we couldn't have wished for anywhere better!!!
The perfect Suffolk wedding venue
The venue itself is absolutely stunning and has all the amenities you could possibly need for a beautiful wedding. I would give 10 stars if I could.
The most perfect wedding vendor.
From the moment we met with Jeremy he was warm, welcoming and amazingly informative. The moment we saw the venue and met Jeremy we were sold. We knew this is where we were going to marry. Every piece of communication was 10/10. Always willing to answer any questions any time of the day. His expertise helped us organise our day from providing well known vendors to ideas to All the small touches he knew where to guide you to make the most out of your day. The venue itself is just stunning. We opted for ceremony and reception in the barn and wedding breakfast in the marquee and it was beyond brilliant. I met Jeremy wife racheal the day before the wedding. We set up the day before and we ran through every single detail. There is nothing they wouldn't do for us to make it a memory we will never forget, racheal made sure my trail was perfectly laid before I walked to my future husband. They helped coordinate a smooth running day from the moment we got there. Their professionalism is above and beyond. Put our mind at ease and worked amazingly alongside all of our vendors. Made sure our glasses were full and that every detail was smooth running. I could go on and on about how special and fantastic they made our day snd there is nothing they wouldn't do for us literally. Details such as making sure our music was on point for all points of the day to walking down the aisle to the mingling post ceremony. I couldn't reccomend Jeremy and rachael more and I have any further future big events I wouldn't hesitate to contact them to provide the day. Thank you both for just going above and beyond my expectations. From the mifflins x
