Our private estate features rolling countryside, landscaped grounds, and beautiful gardens that serve as a spectacular setting for unforgettable weddings and timeless photography.
Sustainability
As a carbon-negative venue committed to the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, we ensure your dream wedding supports a greener future through solar power, EV charging, and dedicated re-wilding efforts.
Versatile Spaces for Every Vision
For couples searching for a rustic barn celebration with modern comforts, Crockwell Farm offers the perfect balance of character and convenience. Whether you envision the historic wedding venue vibes of our vaulted main barn or the airy romance of an outdoor ceremony in the orchard, we provide flexible options to suit any season.
Our main barn features original features that provide a sense of timeless elegance, while our indoor marquees offer panoramic views of the surroundings. This ensures all our guests stay warm and comfortable regardless of the English weather.
Our on-site lodging includes nine spacious bedrooms in farm cottages. This allows your core wedding party to relax and enjoy the celebration without the need for a midnight taxi search.
If you have plenty of guests coming over, we have an extensive list of highly recommended local B&Bs and hotels, such as Holt Hotel and Badgemore Park. This list can be emailed to them so they can book their accommodation in advance.
