The Ashes Exclusive Country House Barn Wedding Venue

The Ashes is a magnificent Grade II* listed family home with two listed barns which have been caringly converted to provide an unrivalled venue for weddings, civil ceremonies, functions and corporate events.

Available for exclusive private hire, the barns, which include an old dairy house, have been sympathetically converted and offer a luxurious and comfortable setting providing the perfect venue for a truly unique experience.

Packages can be tailored to meet your exact needs and you can be assured that you will be the sole focus of our attention from start to finish.

We can cater for every choice of function, whether a simple barbecue to a five course banquet, from intimate gatherings for say 30 to 40 guests to formal sit-down meals for friends and family of up to 150 guests.

The Old Dairy is a small suite of two rooms and a shower room, furnished with sofas and full-length mirrors, which can be used by the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready before the ceremony, and for the use of the bride and groom throughout the day.
The West Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships. The stone flagged floor and exposed wooden beams make an individual setting for all sizes of groups, using the viewing gallery allows a maximum of 150 family and friends to witness your ceremony. The Juliet balcony also provides the perfect place for a string quartet to play or for your photographer to get that perfect shot.
Following the ceremony, doors lead onto the stone flagged court yard, enabling guests to freely mingle and enjoy the surroundings whilst being served with your drinks reception and canapés.
For the evening entertainment the lights are dimmed in The East Barn and a band or disco can play. Alternative evening activities can take place in the West Barn, for instance giant games, a magician, or Punch and Judy show for any younger guests (or not so young) and a fun casino can ensure there is plenty for everyone.
