The Traditional, all inclusive wedding package​

Our traditional, all inclusive yet fully customisable weddings are held in The Arboretum – our elegant, brand new, all season permanent ‘glass’ Marquee venue. It is purposefully positioned at the bottom of a hill in a natural valley surrounded by woods, trees, apple and pear orchards. 
For traditional full day weddings, The Arboretum can host up to 300 guests, with a choice of four different ceremony areas to tie the knot.

Twilight Wedding Package in the rustic barn

For couples who wish to have a slightly less extravagant wedding day, are on a stricter budget or just simply prefer a rustic barn venue we are now offering a new package, ‘Twilight’ Weddings. You get married later in the day and go straight into an evening party. The timing of these is such that sit down meals, formal speeches, table layouts etc are not required and thus removes any headache these could potentially bring to the wedding couple.

Intimate Wedding Package

Here at the BarnYard we can offer you a private intimate wedding ceremony and sit down reception for your closest family and friends.

Have your ceremony in our sparkly, twinkly, rustic Apple Barn followed by a sit down meal or BBQ with your nearest and dearest. Speeches and cake cutting to follow and if required the first dance for the wedding couple to end the evening.

the barnYard's signature wedding package

You can have total exclusive use of our two venues along with the entire site for your wedding day. With this option, we close our restaurant from lunchtime and you have the total run of the whole enchanting wedding venue – using the various buildings and outside spaces as you prefer. This is a great option if you can’t decide which space you’d prefer for your wedding day. Our staff can guide you in how we could see this working for you.

The Apple Orchard Whispers:
"Each Tree Holds A Memory,
Each Blossom a Dream,
In This Quiet Corner Of The World,
Your Heart Begins To Gleam"
