THE SMALL BARN
Our beautiful, traditional, smaller barn is approximately 60 sqm. (38’ x 16’ – 12m x 5m) Features two entrance doors leading out onto our grounds with timber rafters under a tiled roof and exposed brick walls on all sides, making it a convivial and peaceful setting for a more intimate gathering. A range of teas, coffees and juices with tables and chairs will be provided for your guests and is included in the venue cost. We will also provide a staffed bar for guests to purchase drinks.
If you wish to personalise your wake arrangement, please feel free to add touches such as music from a favourite CD of the deceased, or a memorial video as a background.
THE GRAND BARN
Our beautiful larger room is approximately 360 sqm. (62’ x 62’ – 19m x 19m). The whole barn is swathed in beautiful, ivory pleated marquee drapes with swags and tails. The East facing wall has windows overlooking our lawns and the rolling fields and woodland where cows and sheep graze, while the horses and deer roam freely. The dining area can be configured to comfortably accommodate from 50 to 200 guests seated or up to 250 standing. All tables and chairs in the barn are included in the venue cost.
