The Venue

Sancroft Barns

The Tudor Barn

The venue is centred around the stunning Tudor Barn; 16th century in origin, with many additions down the centuries. 

Ancient oak beams frame the gorgeous russet brickwork and timber, and it's the perfect place to say your vows in front of 115 of your favourite people, having entered through the double doors. 

There's plenty of natural light, with chairs, lighting, music, heating and ceremony table included - oh along with oodles of atmosphere!

Outdoor Ceremony Areas

There's loads of options here: firstly the Victorian Wed Shed (an old cattle shed complete with original graffiti), where you can be under cover, but your guests remain outside to witness the ceremony!
Or two separate areas in the paddock, with either our thatched farmhouse or the trees as a backdrop - lovely in the shade of the hot sun.
And then there's the wooded glade, where you can all get a bit more shelter from the sun, be surrounded by the grass and wildflowers.
All areas can be personalised by you for the Big Day.

Your Drinks Reception

This is usually taken in the beautiful Portugese limestone-stepped courtyard right outside the Barn, where following a confetti throw, you and your guests will be in just the right place. Your photographer might first sneak you off to our private gardens where opportunities abound for stunning shots. 
Meanwhile your caterer will be serving scrumptious canapes, and the welcome drinks of your choice will be freely flowing. It's the first chance you have to catch up with all your wonderful guests.
You do have an option after an outdoor ceremony to have your drinks in our gardens, but beware the pond and moat.

The Wedding Breakfast

Our light and airy marquee will perfectly accommodate up to 135 guests.  Use our round tables or hire in trestles depending on your wishes; and you can decorate to your hearts content. There's music of your choice too from our PA system, and you have the option of doing your speeches in here.
From 3-course royal feast, to buffet, to hog roast the choice again is yours, and your caterer is just next door in the catering marquee.

Evening Partydance

The evening partydance can be kicked off with the cutting of the cake in the Barn. Everyone will want to see it, then join you on the floor after your first dance to DJ or band. 
Your bar will be in the Barn too, maybe a couple of casual tables, perhaps even your evening food buffet (or from food trucks outside), but the whole venue remains for your use. Dance and sing the night away, chat to old friends and new, and await the golden hour when the sun sets over our golden fields of wheat.

Accommodation?

Well we don't currently have any bespoke accommodation at the Sancroft Barns, but many couples choose to camp on our spacious paddocks. There's a great local supplier of luxury Bell tents, giving you the whole rustic experience. Wake up with all your friends nearby, a hot tea or coffee on tap, and many stories and memories of the previous brilliant day.
Of course there are hotels and other accommodation nearby where your guests can also stay.
