Description
We only host up to a maximum of 10 weddings a year, making sure that College Farm remains an exclusive venue. We want you to feel that College Farm is your home for the weekend of your wedding and all your guests feel as if they are being welcomed to our home and not a corporate venue. This is very much our family home that we enjoy sharing with you and your guests. If you are looking for a personal, intimate venue run by a hands on husband & wife team (who were married here in 1985) then this is the venue for you!
Personal Message from the Manager

To us, this is the most perfect venue to get married and we couldn't be more excited to share the day with you and help you achieve the best day of your lives.
