A wedding venue that's all yours

The Ashes


The Ashes Barns Wedding Venue is an exclusive use wedding venue. On your wedding day the only people at The Ashes are there by your personal invitation.

We do not operate a restaurant, spa or any other facilities which are open to the general public so you can enjoy having the entire 50 acre estate all to yourselves.
