From the vaulted ceiling, to the exposed stone walls and limestone flagged floor, our traditional 200-year-old Westmorland stone barn offers a unique rustic elegance that can be tailored to suit any style conscious couple’s theme. Enter through our traditional oak barn doors and walk up the aisle surrounded by all the character you could wish for, before you and your partner exchange vows under our enchanting canopy of festoon lights, or under our handcrafted outdoor pavilion with its stunning scenic backdrop. For couples seeking a church wedding, there are several beautiful historic churches nearby. In addition to the main barn we have a spacious adjoining Reception/Bar area with a striking floral canopy, cosy seating areas, and timber panelled bathrooms. Our newly created Couples lounge is available pre ceremony to get ready in and post ceremony exclusively for the couple. Guests are also able to enjoy our outside areas, which offer stunning views of the surrounding scenery from a landscaped lawn, outdoor sunken seating area as well as an undercover Tuscan inspired terrace adjoining the main barn. Eden Barn is run by the Harker family and we are conscious that this is your day and we want to make our venue feel special to you. With experience of over 300 unique & personal weddings you are in safe hands. Catering is provided by our sole supplier Southcott Events, who can create bespoke menus using locally sourced produce, and serve your evening food in style from ‘The Shack’. The accommodation brochure on our website (www.edenbarn.co.uk) highlights local places to stay, starting within the village itself. We also have an on-site business from which you can hire tables and chairs. We are located in Little Musgrave, 3 miles from both Kirkby Stephen and Brough, and 4 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The nearest train station is 5 miles away. Eden Barn is also close to Appleby and Ravenstonedale.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Cliff, Owner

Hello, let me tell you the story .... Eden Barn started when the Barn on our farm was restored for the wedding of our eldest daughter Andrea in 2015. The day was magical and, through couple requests, we opened our doors so you could enjoy your own Wedding at Eden Barn. My wife Carolyn and daughters Andrea and Julia, would love to meet your show you around either virtually or in person!

THE most amazing, Family-ran Venue!

Our dream Wedding Day! From start to finish, all involved with Eden Barn were an absolute dream to deal with - they also contributed to making our Wedding Planning experience SO much fun (& much less stressful!). First of all during our initial viewing - we were greeted by Cliff & Carolyn who were on it from the moment we arrived & instantly made us feel welcome. They gave an in-depth tour & an insight in to all the timings of the day which was brilliant in order for us to see how the whole day would flow! (& how accurate they were!) We fell in love with Eden Barn via Social Media, but this enhanced further during our viewing - it's even more amazing in real life! During the planning stages, they were always to hand & responsive with any questions or queries that we had - this goes for the Caterers of Southcott too! Nothing was ever too much trouble - they all completely put your mind at ease. Our Wedding Day flowed seamlessly! The staff, the service, the organisation, the food, the venue & even the weather - Amazing! Our day truly was all we could have ever dreamt of. Our guests even went on to comment that it was the most beautiful & organised Wedding Venue they had ever attended, which admittedly gave myself & my Husband the extra buzz after what we would certainly say was the best day of our lives so far! If a Barn Wedding is all you have dreamed of, then look no further than Eden Barn - you certainly won't be disappointed! X

Perfect venue for our special day

We had the BEST time getting married at the beautiful Eden Barn. The barn itself was just spectacular; even better than what you can see on social media. The Eden Barn team were brilliant and coordinated the whole day exceptionally, everything ran so smoothly - as a bride I didn't have to think about anything on the day as it was all taken care of, which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Eden Barn to get married.

All our dreams came true

From the first moment we met the Harker Family at Eden Barn we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding, and we felt excited to start planning the day we’d been dreaming of. The planning guide they provide is so incredibly helpful and everything is so organised, I can honestly say nothing about the venue or catering caused me any stress whatsoever and I don’t think many people can say that!! Nothing is too much trouble for the Harker Family or staff at Eden Barn. Every detail of your vision is captured prior to the big day and everything went perfectly, not a single glitch. A special mention goes to Andrea for helping me get in to my wedding dress and organising my bridesmaids on the wedding morning and to Julia for being so amazing with my 3 year old twin girls, making them feel confident enough to walk down the aisle to Daddy. If there was one thing I could wish for, it would be to do it all over again! Our stay at The Wilding Hotel was also lovely, the suite was beautiful and so was the food! We’ve had so many of guests tell us how much they enjoyed the day and how beautiful the venue was. We can only hope to be lucky enough to be invited to a wedding at Eden Barn as a guest in the future, we would love that!

Venue of our dreams

We got married at Eden Barn in April this year and it was truly everything we'd hoped for. It's a beautiful venue and so many guests have commented on how perfect it was and some said the best wedding they've been to! We loved the little touches that the Harker family took care of, like putting our photos up before the ceremony and boxing up our belongings and leftovers for us to collect the next day, they made things run smoothly and we are grateful for that.

The most magical day

We had our wedding at Eden Barn this August, and it was truly a dream come true. Living in Dubai, all our initial meetings were on Zoom, but we knew before even visiting in person that the venue and the Harker family were perfect for us. When we finally came home and saw it in person, we were blown away. From the stunning outdoor ceremony area to the meadows, the incredible bar, and the beautiful space where we had our wedding breakfast, it was exactly the style we wanted—glamorous yet personal. We’d hoped for over a year to have our ceremony outside, and although the morning of 4th August was touch-and-go with the weather, Cliff, Andrea, and Carolyn were incredibly flexible and worked right up to the line to ensure our outdoor wedding could go ahead. (Sorry for the stress!) Andrea was so supportive, understanding every little detail I wanted to include, and even helped me grab my bouquet and get the girls in order before the ceremony. Cliff, an absolute star, handled all the "man jobs" perfectly, and my dad told me he had some lovely chats with Cliff during the day, telling me what a great man he is! And everyone needs a Carolyn in their life—she kept me in check and made sure we stuck to the schedule. Everything flowed seamlessly. Eden Barn itself is stunning—a beautiful, cosy, and warm place to celebrate with family and friends. But for us, it wasn’t just the venue; it was the people. Without the Harker family, our day wouldn’t have been the same. Thank you for accommodating all our wishes and making our wedding the most incredible day of our lives!

The most magical day come true

As cliche as it sounds, the moment we walked into the venue, we knew that it was the one. From the rustic, thoughtful decor to the incredible couple who had it all come to life, Eden Barn ticked every single one of our boxes. In fact, it was pretty much my Pinterest dream! Carolyn, Cliff, Andrea & Julia were simply the most perfect hosts. They ensured that every need of ours was met, that any pre-wedding nerves were soothed and ensured the whole day ran accordingly. We will be forever grateful for the effort, care and attention that went into every aspect of our special day. Thank you so much Eden Barn for literally making our dreams come true!

The best day of our entire lives

We honestly couldn't thank the team at Eden Barn for making our day so special! The weather was absolutely awful but the team went above and beyond to make sure our day went to plan. Even catching my veil as the wind pulled it from my hair on the way to the barn!! 💕 Thank you so much!

A perfect rustic venue

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Eden Barn earlier this year and it was the best decision we made. The venue is a stunning barn conversion that housed rustic seating for our meal and night do, but with a gorgeous recently renovated bar in the next room. As soon as we started the planning process the staff were extremely helpful and had all the literature we could need to make our choices. All the staff were also great on the day and myself and my now wife didn’t have to think about a thing. We were also lucky enough to have nice weather on the day so we could make use of the stunning outside space for the ceremony and pictures. Including the adjoining field and stream which the photographer had free use of.
