An Enchanting Wedding Venue in Kent
Family owned, Dedicated to providing one of the
most enchanting wedding venues in Kent.
Tranquil and unique.
One of Kent's top wedding venues
Nestled in a natural valley surrounded by 150 acres of stunning landscape combining rolling hills, natural woodland and romantic orchards, lies The BarnYard – an enchanting setting to host the most memorable day of your life.
Totally tranquil, charming and unique.
Licensed for Ceremonies and home to both a beautiful converted barn venue (The Apple Barn) as well as a truly luxurious permanent glass marquee venue (The Arboretum) which can host lavish wedding receptions for up to 300 guests.
The Traditional, all inclusive wedding package
Our traditional, all inclusive yet fully customisable weddings are held in The Arboretu – 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.
A glance at the biggest day of your life.

Intimate Wedding Package
Here at the BarnYard we can offer you a private 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 venue’s and entire site for your special day. With this option, we close our restaurant from lunchtime and you have the total run of the whole site – using the various buildings and outside spaces as you prefer. This is a great option if a) budget is no issue and b) 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 hearts begin to gleam"
with love and excitement,
with love and excitement,
– BarnYard Family, 2024
licensed ceremony areas
We are licensed to hold indoor and outdoor Civil Ceremonies and Partnerships. Indoor Ceremonies can be held all year round in either The Arboretum, our luxurious permanent ‘glass’ marquee venue which is surrounded by orchards and beautiful landscaping, providing a serene ambience or in our new rustic barn venue with thousands of fairylights like a halo above you twinkling away. If you are looking to be married outdoors, we have three very unique ceremony areas to offer – two of which having far reaching views of the orchards and hills which surround The BarnYard.
dog friendly wedding venue
Don’t panic! We love them just as much as you do.
Bringing your furry friend to your big day can be the icing on the cake for many. Our dog friendly wedding venue welcomes them with open arms (in a literal sense!).
We also work with a lovely local supplier, Here Comes The Hound, who can look after your four legged friends on the day and relieve all stress involved.
