The Barn At Drovers Full Description
Gather your friends and family and celebrate your wedding here with us. Get back to nature and sleep under the stars, at our family run, organic farm, near Hay on Wye. Nestled at the foot hills of the Welsh Black Mountains, on the border of Herefordshire & Wales. Enjoy home grown wild feasts, cooked from scratch on open fires. Roam freely on our 40 acres of farm, fields and forest, yours exclusively for your wedding celebration here with us. SPACES: We have two gorgeous barns and stunning outdoor spaces including woodland to choose for your ceremony, reception, dance and Epic Photo opportunities. And did we mention we have alpacas?? So if you are planning an outdoor element for your wedding, no stress if the weather turns bad we can change location to one of the barns even if we decide on the Day. FOOD We are South African and expert at fire cooking where all our food is carefully tended over the open flame. In the summer enjoy our carefully curated canapes and cocktails or a crisp bubbly, followed by a lush main that your guests mouth will be water for seeing the food being cooked on the fires, then finish off street food style with help yourself puddings from the kitchen hatches and evening food of sourdough pizzas hot from the oven. Full menu available. In Winter make more of the warm and cosy barn by a lush 3 course meal for your wedding celebration ACCOMMODATION: 36 of your guests can be accommodated onsite in our beautifully restored, old stone Drovers cottages Or in one of our posh glamping safari tents, perched on decks with amazing rural views, all with private underfloor heated bathrooms, wood-burners and electric blankets. We can also accommodate more in our pop up bell tent village (10 fully furnished bell tents sleeping 2-4) with posh showers and toilets in recently converted shepherd huts). Enabling more of your guests to let their hair down and enjoy partying late into the night without worrying about how they will get back.

Best Venue Ever!
This venue is a hidden gem. I am sure as soon as the secret is out it will be fully booked. Family run really does mean the attention to detail, love and care is all there. I did not think of bringing our guests away for our wedding but someone recommend The Barn at Drovers to us. We always wanted a wedding that was different and really the venue makes your wedding. If it's as magical as Drovers then it needs not a lot else. A huge thank you for the care love and attention your put in.

We planned our wedding to be a meeting of cultures. We had loads of guests coming from abroad as well and wanted them to have a beautiful location to come to. And really it was spectacular. The venue has stunning onsite accommodation and we could book the venue and catering for the entire weekend. They allow fire ceremonies and were well versed on Henna evenings and Sangeets. They helped take most of the planning out of the way. And made our day magical.

Stunning Farm Venue
We were after a more relaxed wedding and this certainly fitted the bill. The owners are laid back and never say no. We chose a spot on the estate no one had gotten married in before. Although it presented logistical challenges they totally made it happen and it was indeed magical. The food is also a huge highlight. All the food is cooked fresh on site and the guests see the amazing fire cooking. All our guests said it was the best food they have EVER had at a wedding

Best Day Ever
Cannot recommend this venue more highly. It's not a wedding factory with loads of dos and dont's. They really listen and help make your dream a reality. The food is amazing. Very flavourful and memorable. And the best bit we could bring our dog down the aisle. Dogs are welcome and we even got to take pics with the alpacas
