Birchwood Lodge Airfield is one of the region’s most distinctive wedding locations, an active private airfield where aircraft are still lovingly crafted by hand. Set against the sweeping, untouched backdrop of Skipwith Common, our venue blends aviation heritage, rural charm, and wide-open skies to create a setting your guests will talk about long after the day is over.
Our iconic barn-style workshop hangar is a working aircraft manufacturing space, filled with character, craftsmanship, and a sense of history you won’t find in a typical wedding barn. When transformed for celebrations, it becomes a breathtaking indoor venue, vaulted ceilings, expansive floor space, and the unmistakable ambiance of a real airfield hangar. It’s rustic, industrial, elegant, and completely unforgettable.
Step outside and you’re greeted by acres of open grassland, panoramic views, and endless flexibility. Host your ceremony outdoors with aircraft in the distance, make your entrance across the airfield, or capture once-in-a-lifetime photos with the dramatic horizon behind you. Whether you want a relaxed countryside celebration, a festival-style wedding, or a sleek modern event with a touch of aviation flair, the space adapts beautifully.
At Birchwood Lodge Airfield, you’re not just hiring a venue, you’re inviting your guests to experience a place where craftsmanship meets wide-open nature, where history is still being made, and where every celebration feels extraordinary.
