Celebrate in style

hire. Whether you’re planning a magical wedding, a charming baby shower, a lively birthday celebration, or a heartfelt family gathering, we’ve got just the place for you.
Our beautiful Tipi, rustic yet elegant events barn, and welcoming café space are all available to make your event one-of-a-kind. You can hire one of our unique spaces individually or enjoy exclusive use of the entire venue for a completely private celebration. With a stunning blend of natural beauty, rustic charm, and modern comfort, our venue is a unique blank
canvas for your dream day.
We work closely with the talented Darren Lovell Photography, who captured this beautiful shot — along with many others below — and UME Floral Design, who styled the table and created the stunning florals.

Review
“We hired the shiny new venue, The Little Barn, for a family function last weekend & had the honour of being the first event to be held there. We were blown away with the events space, the service & the food. The Little Barn has been beautifully decorated, the little vases of flowers on the tables were a lovely touch & there was plenty of space for our party of 18. The selection of food from the deluxe buffet was excellent - including the veggie options - all the food tasted amazing & there was plenty of it, great value for money. The staff on the night were wonderful, friendly, nothing was too much trouble & I can honestly say that from start to finish, organising our family event was made all the more easier thanks to Sophie, the events coordinator/organiser. A huge thanks to the team for helping to make a memorable birthday celebration that all the family enjoyed!” - Jennifer
“Big birthday event at The Little Barn
I hired The Little Barn to celebrate my 'big' birthday. Everything was absolutely fabulous. The staff who assisted us on the day (Jack & Livi (who was new, I think)) were very attentive and helpful. The venue was spotless and was arranged as we had requested. The food was amazing (so much of it too)! Many of my guests remarked on how lovely the food was and it was a really nice touch to include take away cartons so that very little went to waste. Even now, several weeks after the event I'm still getting compliments on the yummy food and the venue. To be honest there is really nothing I can fault; it was fantastic!” - Roving
