We are a small family-run venue in the heart of the beautiful Suffolk countryside. We offer 4 unique ceremony spaces including our stunning woodland area. Our reception area is a large marquee-lined barn which provides couples with a neutral starting point from which to personalise the area completely. The on-site Glamping Pods offer the perfect accommodation for couples and their guests to retreat to after their special day. For the animal-lovers out there, the goats and alpacas are always looking for a little bit of attention and make for a great photo opportunity!

“Thank you so much for considering us for your big day! We pride ourselves on the fantastic customer service we are able to offer each and every one of our couples and can’t wait to work with you to create some truly special memories for your wedding day.”
