Set on the Hampshire and Berkshire border, Close to London. Near Basingstoke and Reading, Silchester Farm is an exclusive-use countryside wedding venue where 400 years of history, lakeside ceremonies, exceptional food and luxury accommodation come together across one private rural estate. Our Estate. All yours. Ceremonies for up to 140 guests can take place beneath the original oak beams of the 400-year-old Hampshire Threshing Barn, illuminated by strings of warm lights, or outdoors beside the lake beneath the farm’s beautiful weeping willow. Better still, couples can keep both indoor and outdoor ceremony options open until the wedding day, allowing the British weather to make one less decision for you. After the vows, the estate is yours to explore. Enjoy English sparkling wine and canapés across the lawns, Hen House and courtyard before moving into the Cow Shed for your wedding breakfast, speeches and evening celebration. From the Kitchen Garden and terrace to the Woodshed and Dutch Barn outdoor kitchen, different parts of the day can unfold naturally across the farm. Food grown closer to home Food and drink sit at the heart of a Silchester Farm wedding. The in-house chefs create seasonal menus shaped around each celebration, from relaxed sharing feasts to individually designed dining experiences. Ingredients are sourced locally from Hampshire and within a 70-mile radius wherever possible, complemented by herbs, fruit and vegetables grown in Silchester Farm’s own Kitchen Garden. As day turns to evening, the nine-metre bar becomes a natural gathering place, serving Silchester Farm spirits alongside locally brewed beers, English sparkling wines and a carefully selected wine collection. Stay together at Silchester Farm The celebration doesn’t have to finish with the final dance. With on-site accommodation for up to 47 guests , your closest friends and family can stay right here on the estate.
