About Maidens Barn

Here at Maidens Barn we have the space and facilities to cater for your entire wedding day – from your preparation in the morning to a delicious locally sourced breakfast with your guests the following morning. We are licensed for civil wedding ceremonies inside the stunning Oak Barn and of course, for outdoor weddings in the garden underneath the flowering wedding arbour. You would start your morning in the Granary getting ready with your closest friends & family, we also have a 2nd prep room within the Elm Barn where your partner can get ready. The stunning Oak Barn provides the perfect setting for both intimate weddings as well as larger wedding celebrations, seating up to 150 people. Chairs can be arranged with 6 on each side of the aisle in a traditional format or in a more relaxed curve if you prefer. The stunningly simple space within the Oak Barn has a high, beamed roof and picture window offers a magnificent space for wedding ceremonies. The numerous French doors open out onto the courtyard allowing the outside, in! We have 14 bedrooms in the Hayloft Barn which sleeps up to 29 adults, as well the Honeymoon Cottage for the newlyweds. This is a warm and intimate wedding venue, providing a blank canvas for you to decorate. Rustic arches and terracotta flower pots work well within this space but so do white aisle runners and modern pedestals. This family-run business is led by a small & dedicated team who are known for going above and beyond for soon-to-be newlyweds. With everyone working hard to ensure that your day is perfect, you can feel at ease and savour every moment with your loved ones.
