Mike and I had our wedding at Tall John’s House in December 2022. And we honestly couldn’t have picked such a perfect venue. From the moment we viewed Tall John’s, we completely fell in love with the place- the house, barns and grounds are beautiful, and it was exactly the kind of ‘blank canvas’…

We had the most amazing wedding at tall John's in May 2024. We took exclusive hire of the whole site and stayed in the beautiful house from Thursday night to Sunday. Dinners and breakfast were really good quality and value for money and it was lovely to have the gorgeous sitting room and games room…
