Facilities and Capacity At Selden Barns, wedding ceremonies are licensed for up to 100 guests in the stunning flint and brick Ceremony Barn adjoining the Farmhouse with original oak beams, fireplace, and exposed brickwork. To add a little extra sparkle, fairy lights entwine the beams overhead while you make your wedding vows. Alternatively outside ceremonies can take place on the manicured lawns with stunning views. After your ceremony, enjoy pre-reception drinks and canapes on one of the lawns within the walled gardens or terraces adjoining the main barn.
