Full of charm
The Barn stands in the heart of Old Down Estate - surrounded by 66 acres of green space and home to many animals and wildlife. Our converted barn provides a charming style choice for our wedding couples with it’s exposed brick, wooden beams and log fire. In addition, our adjacent Victorian Walled Garden gives couples and their guests an exclusive piece of the park. Walk around the garden and you’ll find bird aviaries, a lily pond, trellis walkways and even a park for little ones to enjoy.
An intimate space
We are licensed for civil ceremonies, civil partnerships and welcome blessings, the renewal of vows and humanistic ceremonies. The Barn offers a wonderfully intimate space for you to share your special day with up to 70 guests. The exposed wooden beams, flag stone floors and wood burner make for a wonderful backdrop to capture the romance of the day.
Say 'I Do' Alfresco
Beyond the Barn doors, hides a beautifully kept walled garden featuring cut flower beds, water features and a pergola of seasonal flowers. It is the picture-perfect environment to hold an outdoor ceremony.
The manicured lawn features a classic white pergola licensed for you to get married at one with nature in front of all those you know and love.
As there is no guarantee with the British weather, The Folly provides a shelter from the elements. It's a lean-to structure adjoining the Barn, featuring festoon lighting, climbing plants and a view of the gardens. So if getting married outdoors is a must, we can accomodate your dream, no matter the weather.
A wedding breakfast that suits you
The Barn has a diverse offering of catering options from the more relaxed and informal buffet or hog roast option to a seated 2 or 3 course wedding breakfast. Soak up the atmosphere during your wedding reception with a glass of Pimm’s and canapés to take the edge off your hunger now you can relax after your ceremony.
A wide range of fine wines and spirits are available to compliment your wedding breakfast or perhaps you would prefer an ale on tap or soft drink.
