A 15th-Century Barn with Serious Wow Factor
This isn’t just any barn. It’s a restored 15th-century masterpiece, perfectly blending historic character with modern flair and four acres of lush gardens.

Why It Works for Your Big Day
- The barn features an alcove perfect for your evening entertainment setup — more space for dancing, more space for joy.
- High ceilings and smart lighting mean epic photos and a party atmosphere that begins the moment the music starts.
- Whether you’re planning cosy and intimate or bold and energetic, this venue adapts beautifully.
- Licensed for civil ceremonies in the barn, the farmhouse or the outdoor grain-store. Up to 140 guests for your wedding breakfast; the evening reception can stretch to 200.
- While the team resets the barn between your meal and party, your guests can enjoy the gardens — ideal for those golden hour shots.
The Evening Party Setup
Imagine: you’ve had your ceremony and dinner. The room transforms. A huge dancefloor. Room for a photobooth. My DJ booth sits in a dedicated alcove, giving your guests the centre stage. The night shifts gear. And you’re front-row to the party.
The Food Experience
Food matters. At Redcoats you’ll get award-winning catering that doesn’t just satisfy — it impresses. From classy canapés and fine dining to relaxed hog roasts and bacon butties, you decide the tone. Sit-down or buffet. Elegant or fun. Either way, guests leave talking.
My Recommendation
If you’re looking for a venue that feels exclusive, stylish, and infused with character — this is it. Remote enough to feel like escape; connected enough to keep everything smooth. And if you want a DJ who knows how to match the space and your vibe, let’s talk about how I can bring this to life.
