Description
Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Aldington, Ruffynes Barn is a Grade II listed venue that combines olde worlde charm with modern amenities. Dating back to the 16th century, this five bay barn has been lovingly and meticulously restored to its former glory whilst still offering the comforts of a contemporary event space. Covering a generous 250 square metres, the barn’s imposing oak structure and rustic chic creates an ambience that is both dramatic and enticing.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Suze Gibson
I am thrilled that you have found Ruffynes Barn on Bridebook... We are a family run business looking to create beautiful, individual, unique weddings for a few wonderful couples. Ruffynes is a magnificent large Kentish barn that we have restored back to its former glory on the outside, with subtle modern amenities added within, all neutral and within keeping. It now provides a huge blank canvas with a real 'WOW' factor where visions and ideas for the perfect day can run wild!
