The Oaks Barn

The Oaks Barn is a beautiful exclusive hidden gem tucked away within 25 acres of rural Staffordshire Moorlands countryside. Family run and founded after the owners son and daughter-in-law decided to convert this stunning historic barn into a temporary wedding reception. Little did the family know it was the start of a successful and unique wedding venue! From full day traditional weddings to twinkling evening twilight weddings, there is a celebration to suit every love story. Great care has been taken to preserve the unique character and charm of this historic barn structure. The Forest Room is the venue’s main function room, accommodating up to 100 guests for your ceremony and reception, then holding up to 160 for evening partying! Organically evolving since The Oaks first opened it's doors, our latest show stopping features include a breath-taking shack that overlooks our natural pond, making for stunning photos. Earthy tones and materials are used throughout the buildings quirky shape and structure to compliment hundreds of years worth of history. A huge hand-crafted stone fireplace keeps The Forest Room cosy during the winter months and The Log Barn Ceremony room, true to it's name, has a wall of split logs in pallets. As a working farm, not only does it offer a fantastic backdrop but also heats the log burners and woodland BBQ/Grill. Did we mention our resident alpacas? Head over to our facebook or instagram to see what they've been up to! Our couples are not just numbers on a page, they become part of The Oaks story and family. As we don't do back-to-back weddings, we don't have any need to usher couples in and out. Instead, they are welcome to come the day before their big day to peacefully venue dress, drop the wedding dress off in the bridal boutique (if you choose to hire it) and bring their vision to life, in a stress-free environment. The day after the wedding, visit us up to 11am to collect decor, wedding gifts and vehicles. Let's savour the memorable moments from start to finish. We also hold two weddings fayres a year where we cherish getting to see our couples plot and plan their wedding day, catch up on the gossip and showcase all The Oaks has to offer, along with delicious canapés and treats handed out throughout the day by our multi award winning in-house caterers. We embrace change and fully accept a 3 course sit down meal may not be your thing. Our delicious menu offers everything from a sociable help yourself style buffet, cooked before you in our woodland BBQ, to rustic pie & mash! Or create your own bespoke fine dining experience with all the trimmings, the choice is yours. We have a wide range of recommended suppliers, available to see via our online brochure.
