About The Sancroft Barns

Located outside Fressingfield near Framlingham in Suffolk, The Sancroft Barns is a wedding venue for those seeking to wed or celebrate in England's fabulous East Anglian countryside. This lightly renovated Barn venue combines both rustic features with a classic heritage exterior that is essential for a celebration that will live long in your memory. With a plethora of indoor character and outdoor event space available, The Sancroft Barns can host the wedding of which you've always dreamed – with a dry-hire venue you get a blank canvas and flexibility to create your very own special day. With lovely panoramic views of the countryside, this setting provides an idyllic romantic atmosphere. Facilities and Capacity You and your loved one can kickstart your day by tying the knot either in the gorgeous Tudor Barn (seats 115, licensed for 125), which is complete with massive wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls and more, or outside in the glorious sunshine or shade of the trees. After your ceremony (whether it is here or at a nearby church or registry office) you and your guests can make their way to the stunning courtyard for a splendid drinks’ reception. Here, you can chat and mingle with friends and family, sip on drinks of your choice, and admire the beauty of the buildings and venue. You will probably follow this with a delicious wedding feast in the Stackyard Marquee, using a caterer of your choice. This expansive area can accommodate your entire guest list (plus a few more as it seats 135) and can set the tone for your magical day. A night of laughter and dancing can then unfold back in the Barn with music and stunning light-show. There is space for seated guests, a bar, dance floor, and live entertainment or disco again of your choice. With the option for smaller (or winter) weddings of using only the Barn (up to 40) or having a giant marquee in the paddock (200+), you can perfectly tailor your exact requirements around the venue. Services Offered Upon booking your big day at The Sancroft Barns, the venue staff will be on-hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly. But being a dry-hire venue, you have the freedom to work with all outside suppliers to best match your specific requirements. The venue staff can advise you in the complete setup of the venue, which you will then transform into the venue of your dreams for this very special day.

My wife and I had the most perfect wedding reception at The Sancroft Barns. Jeremy and Rachel were the perfect venue hosts from start to finish, providing support, collaborating with our caterer, bar, sound engineer etc., and helping out on the day to make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue…

Having passed the sign for Sancroft Barns at least twice a day for six years we decided last sept to go and have a look, when we arrived I said to my then fiancée "no booking we are just looking" as this was the one & only venue we had viewed (still is). We were both blown away by the beauty of the…

What a special place! We got married at The Sancroft Barns last weekend and can't say enough good things about it. We had been getting frustrated when looking at other venues, which badged themselves as 'yours to do what you want with' - until you started actually asking "could we do x?" Most…
