Twelve acres of heritage orchard, a restored threshing barn and a glasshouse built for toasts. One celebration a day, looked after from your first tour to the last dance.
The place
About The Orchard Hall
A working orchard that opens its gates for one celebration a day — so the barn, the lawn and the light are entirely yours.

The spaces
Four rooms, one orchard
Say your vows under the oldest tree, toast in the glasshouse, dine in the barn and finish by candlelight in the cider room. Every space is a short, step-free walk from the next.
The Orchard Lawn
An aisle mown between two rows of Bramley trees, ending at an arch beneath the oldest tree on the farm.
- Up to 220 for ceremonies
- Outdoor vows
The Cider Room
Brick arches, old pressing barrels and candlelight. Made for rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks and the acoustic set after the main band stops.
- Up to 60 guests
- Late-night lounge
The Glasshouse
A Victorian-style glasshouse among the fig trees, for intimate dinners, golden-hour portraits and the first toast of the evening.
- Up to 40 guests
- Small weddings & toasts
Seasonal looks
The orchard changes its clothes
The same barn, four entirely different weddings. Here's how the grounds look through the year, and how couples tend to style them.
Spring · April – May
Blossom season
The trees flower white and pink for a few short weeks. Pastel linens, open glasshouse doors and ceremonies under falling petals.
Summer · June – August
Long tables
Late sunsets and dinners on the lawn. Wildflower centrepieces, a lemonade bar and string lights that come on just after nine.
Autumn · September – October
Harvest
Ripe fruit, cider pressing, deep reds and candlelit dinners as the evenings draw in.
Winter · November – February
Candlelight
Bare branches, frost on the lawn and a fire in the barn hearth. Velvet, evergreen garlands and a warm cider welcome.

Cider & canapés at the Glasshouse

Dinner in the Great Barn

Dancing & the fire pit
The band plays in the barn; the fire pit and blankets wait outside.
Sparkler send-off

Good to know
Questions, answered
What happens if it rains on the day?
Every lawn ceremony comes with the Great Barn held as a backup at no extra cost. We make the call together the morning before, and the team can flip the room in about an hour.
Can we bring our own caterer?
We work with a short list of partner kitchens who know the barn well. Outside caterers are welcome too, with a kitchen-use fee and proof of insurance.
How late can the music go?
Amplified music in the barn until 10:30 pm, then the Cider Room stays open for an acoustic set or quiet drinks until midnight.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. There are step-free paths to all four spaces, accessible restrooms beside the barn and a golf-cart shuttle from the car park for anyone who'd rather not walk.
Can our dog be part of the ceremony?
Absolutely, as long as a named friend is on handler duty for the day.
How far ahead should we book a tour?
Autumn weekends go first, so if you're set on harvest season, we suggest touring twelve to eighteen months ahead. Weekday and winter dates are usually more flexible.
