Tucked away in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside, our family-run venue offers you and your guests a rustic retreat in a stunning 16th-century barn with converted farm buildings and newly built spaces that beautifully balance old charm with modern comfort. We’ve been welcoming guests since 1997, and we absolutely love what we do. Now we’re inviting couples to celebrate their day with us in a way that feels real, relaxed, and entirely their own.
Upfront is ideal for wedding celebrations of up to 150 guests, with accommodation for up to 27 people across a charming cottage and several eco-lodges. Additional glamping options can be provided on-site, along with a range of nearby places to stay for your guests.
With over 50 years’ experience bringing people together for arts, music, and celebrations, we know how to create a great atmosphere. With our licensed bar, restaurant, and friendly, hands-on team, we’ll look after every detail so you can focus on enjoying your special day.

Upfront Weddings is a stunning country wedding venue located in Carlisle, Cumbria, Lothian and Borders.
