Description

Couples are invited to tie the knot in the 400-year old Hampshire Threshing Barn, a traditional oak beamed barn, steeped in history and brought to life with twinkling fairy lights. It is the perfect space for that ‘I do’ moment. If an outdoor wedding it what you have always dreamed of, our licensed ceremony pavilion sits on the bank of our lake, surrounded by willow, water iris and the odd wild duck. After the ceremony has taken place, invite your guests to enjoy reception drinks in the Old Hen House and Silchester Farm Bar, spilling out on to the beautifully landscaped gardens, courtyards, and luscious green fields. We offer a choice of trusted caterers, who work with you to create delicious food for your wedding day. Menus are expertly prepared and beautifully presented, giving you and your guests a spectacular dining experience. Every element of the day is bespoke and tailored to your needs, from the more formal wedding breakfast, to theatrical street food, barbecues and canapés. As the sun goes down, the interjoining barns become a spacious open plan setting for your evening celebration. Dance the night away surrounded by the grandeur of the Hampshire Threshing Barn, relax in front of the fires in the quintessential English country pub atmosphere of the Old Hen House or enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the starlit gardens. What’s more, this barn wedding venue is exclusive use for you to be able to use without interruption for you and your loved ones to celebrate all day long, hidden, in a world all of your own.

Amazing wedding venue
The staff are so friendly and helpful and the venue co-ordinator made sure everything went to plan and had lots of check-ins before hand with helpful tips! We loved this venue because it’s so romantic and cosy and it took us so long to find a venue with a beautiful indoor and outdoor option so if it rained we wouldn’t be disappointed! The venue also let me confirm on the morning of the wedding if I wanted to be outside which was perfect! The food, cocktails and overnight accommodation were also incredible with a special honeymoon suite separate to the other rooms. The getting ready room is also stunning!

The perfect venue
Silchester Farm was our dream venue and we truly couldn’t have asked for anything more for our big day. The setting is absolutely stunning and offered the most beautiful backdrop to our wedding. The team were super professional, and the service was top notch. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing. I’d highly recommend to anyone!

"beautiful place"
Thank you to all the team at Silchester Farm for all you did towards our special day on October 1st. Your help and support before the day was amazing - we really felt like nothing was too much trouble and you went out of your way to ensure everything was perfect for us. The venue itself is incredible with knowledge and professionalism helped to ensure we knew it was everything we wanted. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful place it is and they instantly could see why we chose you. What you have done to the venue in the past year has been amazing too and meant we actually got so much more than what we originally saw and fell in love with during our initial visit - it was so exciting coming back each time and seeing something new! The day itself ran smoothly and without a hitch (nothing that we noticed anyway!) and Daniel was always there to let us know what was next and where we needed to be without making us feel rushed. He is such a lovely person, always calm and smiling which is just what we needed, and a credit to your team. THANK YOU X

"surpassed all our expectations"
We had our wedding at Silchester Farm in September 2021 and surpassed all our expectations. The team at Silchester were so accommodating during helping us move dates during the pandemic and so helpful and knowledge during the planning process. Emma and the rest of the team really went out of their way to make our day extra special, including moving all of decorations around, being very flexible with what we wanted, and making sure things ran like clockwork behind the scenes. The venue is absolutely stunning and perfect for all weathers, we had so many lovely comments from our guest and wish we could relive the whole day again. If you have the chance to get married at Silchester Farm, then don’t hesitate and go for it - you’ll have the best day ever and you’ll be treated as though your part of their family. 😊🎉

"what an amazing place"
My daughter had her wedding here at the start of August, what an amazing place. Every building was excellent, and beautifully finished and decorated. The Threshing Barn was a perfect location for the ceremony, the Cow Shed was a great building for the meal and party with plenty of space inside and out, and the other buildings and grounds just topped off the day. Al and Carla are great, and all the staff were excellent throughout the day. so many thanks to them all. I would not change a thing, and would highly recommend Silchester Farm to everyone looking for a venue for a special occasion.

"The best wedding venue there is!!"
The best wedding venue there is!! Myself and my now husband absolutely fell in love with this venue when we first saw it back in early 2019. And what they have done to the place since then is just amazing! Having the chance to have 2 large buildings to spread our day across was just perfect! No other venue has this kind of luxury, and it really is luxury! The Threshing Barn was the perfect place to have our romantic ceremony, the attention to detail in that barn is just beautiful, they’ve kept the rustic, intimate vibe but with such a high end feel. And then we moved up to the new Cow Shed, where our guests were amazed all over again with this beautiful space! There was something really special about seeing our guests faces when they entered and it is honestly the best venue! So much space inside and out, all the decor is beautiful, a huge bar and a big kitchen for the caterers. I’ve not seen a venue with this much space before, it’s perfect to spend the rest of your day there. The terrace is great for people to relax after a big meal and the space inside is great for the evening party! It was also lovely being able to look out across the fields and back down to the Threshing Barn with all the festoon lights in the evening! The Barn House and Wood Shed are also an amazing addition to the venue. The rooms were gorgeous, the interior design was second to none and all our guests that stayed had the perfect night sleep. The outdoor space is also stunning, amazing views of the Hampshire countryside and ample photo opportunities! This truly is the most magical venue and our day was just the best. The team at Silchester are all amazing! So friendly and helpful, nothing is too much of an ask. They have the perfect balance of being on hand if you need anything but not too encroaching, although we wanted them all there to celebrate with us as they have such a family feel to the place, they felt more like friends than business owners!
