Maidens Barn Full Description
Here at Maidens Barn we have the space and facilities to cater for your entire day – from preparation right through to a secret bridal Hideaway Cottage – perfect for your first night as a married couple. We are licensed for civil wedding ceremonies inside the stunning new Oak Barn and of course, for outdoor weddings in the garden underneath the flowering wedding arbour. The stunning Oak Barn provides the perfect setting for both intimate weddings as well as larger wedding celebrations, seating up to 200 people if necessary. Chairs can be arranged with 6 on each side of the aisle in a traditional format or in a more relaxed curve if you prefer. The stunningly simple space within the Oak Barn has a high, beamed roof and picture window offers a magnificent space for wedding ceremonies. The numerous French doors open out onto the courtyard allowing the outside, in! Again, this space can be adapted perfectly for intimate weddings or larger wedding ceremonies – the choice is yours. Guests can be seated facing the picture windows in various configurations (depending on your numbers) and all looking out onto the ancient Oak Tree in the Bridal garden. We also have 14 bedrooms in the Hayloft Barn which sleeps up to 29 adults, and a Honeymoon Cottage for the newlyweds. This is a warm and intimate wedding ceremony venue, providing a blank canvas for you to decorate. Rustic arches and terracotta flower pots work well within this space but so do white aisle runners and modern pedestals.

Best day of my life!
So our wedding was on 12th of April of this year and I think its safe to say that it was one of the best days of our lives. The venue was beautiful, the staff were so lovely, kind and very cooperative and most importantly, my wife loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and I cannot thank them enough for making our day so special

The best day of our lives at the most amazing venue
We booked maidens barn 2 years ago and the minute we looked around we completely fell in love with it! It is the most amazing venue with the most incredible staff! On our wedding day we were looked after by Natalia, Sam, Mercedes and Elliot and they couldn’t have done more for us they’re a real credit to the team at maidens! All our guests have not stopped talking about what an amazing venue maidens it and how incredible and lovely all the staff were! Thank you so so much for making our day amazing I honestly can’t thank everyone at maidens enough for everything they’ve done for us over the past couple of years! I highly recommend booking your wedding at maidens barn!

Our Wedding - 15.03.24
We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Maidens Barn. The team at the venue were fantastic from start to finish, helping us with all the preparations in the run up to the day and being on hand for absolutely everything during the day itself. The venue itself was perfect. We were lucky with the weather and able to make use of the outdoor courtyard area for our post ceremony drinks reception and photos, which was ideal. The ceremony room was the ideal size and looked amazing. The barn for our wedding reception was also spot on, with a great area for the DJ / dance floor, and plenty of space for tables and people to catch up with each other. The food provided by Host Catering was excellent. The canapés and drinks on hand were very generous, and the afternoon tea option we went for went down really well with our guests. We stayed in the Honeymoon Cottage, which was a lovely place to stay after the day had finished. It would have been nice for the grooms party to be able to get ready in there, but the room available for them in the venue itself is really good too. The area for the bridal party to get ready was also really good, with a kitchen, toilet and mirrors / chairs for all bridesmaids. Some of our guests stayed in the hotel rooms on site. After speaking with them, they feel the check in process could have been smoother, and that a better breakfast could have been provided for the price paid. Rooms cost just shy of £150 and breakfast was self service. From our perspective though, we can’t fault anything about our wedding itself. We would throughly recommend Maidens Barn to anybody else looking to get married and are so happy with how everything came together. The staff, the location, the atmosphere were excellent. Maidens Barn will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

The most perfect day we could have ever wished for!
All the staff at Maidens barn are nothing but incredible! From initially coming to view we were greeted by Mercedes who was so helpful and we instantly fell in love with the venue! During the lead up to the day, all the staff were always on hand to answer any questions we had and made us feel so at ease as we approached the day. We would especially like to give a massive thank you for everything Natalia & Elliot did on the day, they made it run so smoothly. All the guests have said how friendly and helpful they were. We’ve had nothing but compliments from all our guests on the venue, food and all the staff. The venue itself was absolutely perfect and is so well kept! The accommodation on site was perfect for our guests! We would 100% recommend this place for anyone looking to get married!

Amazing wedding day at Maidens Barn
We had a wonderful February 2024 wedding at Maidens Barn right from the beginning of just looking around the venue, to booking our wedding date and then having our special day - the team at Maiden’s Barn were amazing. The team were attentive to us throughout the day, were at hand to answer any questions and they helped organise things flawlessly. No ask was too great and no question was too silly! The team had a good balance of checking in but giving privacy and space to enjoy the time with our guests. The venue is stunning and we really feel the staff (shout out to Mercedes, Alex, Elliot and Natalia) made our day all that much more special. Food was very good and our guests all particularly enjoyed the canapés. I would recommend Maidens Barn to anyone! We wish we could experience it all over again!
