Why our Barn could be your perfect wedding venue
Finding a wedding venue that feels true to you is key. At Old Down Estate, our Barn offers a relaxed, rustic setting surrounded by countryside views, ideal for couples seeking an intimate celebration filled with natural charm and character.
A Rustic Barn Wedding Venue in Beautiful Countryside
Set within 66 acres of beautiful countryside, the Barn is a cosy, converted space featuring exposed brickwork, timber beams and a welcoming log burner. It’s a warm, romantic backdrop for couples who love the look and feel of a countryside wedding.
A Ceremony Space with Authentic Character
The Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies, civil partnerships, blessings, vow renewals and humanist ceremonies, giving you full flexibility. With room for up to 70 guests, its stone floors, soft lighting and natural textures create an inviting atmosphere for your “I do.”
A Beautiful Walled Garden
Just outside the Barn, a beautifully maintained walled garden offers cut flower beds, water features and seasonal blooms, perfect for photos or an outdoor ceremony.
Outdoor Ceremonies, Come Rain or Shine
If an outdoor ceremony is part of your vision, The Folly provides a charming, weather ready space. This open-sided structure sits beside the Barn and overlooks the gardens, complete with climbing foliage and festoon lighting.
Food, Drink & Celebration
Whether you prefer a relaxed hog roast or a formal plated meal, our catering team offers flexible dining options. After the ceremony, enjoy drinks and canapés in the gardens before sitting down to your wedding breakfast, paired with a curated selection of wines, spirits and celebratory favourites.
