The Barn At Drovers

We got married at Drovers Rest in September 2022 having come across the venue on Instagram. We loved the venue, what it offered and after a Video call with Kesri, one of the owners, we booked without visiting! We felt so confident in what we were getting and it did not disappoint. It was everything we wanted our wedding weekend to be. It is the most amazing venue. With amazing views, the cutest animals and great accommodation that enabled us to spend the weekend there with everyone closest to us. But our biggest thing was tasty food and lots of it - we certainly got that! The food is outstanding all our guests commented on the food that was served to them on our wedding day. From our initial call with Kesri and then meeting Paul they were very relaxed and helpful with all of our queries. The staff throughout the weekend couldn’t have been more helpful. We wish we could do it all again and look forward to coming back to visit. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a relaxed weekend wedding with lots of food and drink and a place to make your own!

“The whole team at Drovers made our wedding weekend perfect from start to finish. The venue is ideal for a beautiful country wedding where you and your guests can immerse yourself in the nature on site whilst enjoying the incredible food and hosting that Kesri and the staff tailor to your individual needs. Everything about this venue was perfect for our wedding. The accommodation, food, drinks, venue and staff helped create memories for us and our guests which we will cherish forever. Having the whole weekend to enjoy with our guests and their dogs made it even more special. Drovers will remain one of our favourite places and we can’t wait to return in the future to relive those memories.”

We searched for a venue that mirrored us as a couple and stumbled across Drovers Rest Farm, A hidden Gem that is so stunning it took our breath away when we visited and we booked them on the spot. The farm itself is magical. It has history embedded in its roots, with stunning old stone buildings so beautifully and tastefully converted, maintaining a rustic charm with modern necessities. They Glamping options and really upmarket with all the glam. We loved that it was run by the family and extended family even their teenage children who are super cool. The animals Jake the Drake who comes to check things out and the Toffee the alpaca who eats apples from your mouth and the disco chickens. everything so absolutely quaint and dreamy. Our family wanted us to have a posh wedding at a country house and Drovers met both our needs. We all loved it and the food was simply outstanding. Sustainable, delicious and takes real skill preparing the food on the fires in front of all the guests throughout the day. The staff are all extremely friendly and it felt like we had our wedding at our extended family's farm rather than a booked venue. Definitely dent feel like a wedding factory like so many other venues we visited. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cool venue thats a bit different

You know what its like all your mates are getting married and you want a different venue to the typical ones that represents you as a couple. Then we stumbled across Drovers. And we finally got excited about our big day. From the first email to the visit to the planning to the actual wedding day. Everything went so smoothly although I know behind the scenes a lot of fires had to be put out, from my grandmother asking for different food on the day of the wedding!! to some of our guests misbehaving very badly, rocking up at the venue the night before at midnight, to playing pranks on the groom at the expense of the accommodation!! What are they like!! During all of it Kesri and the team were amazing when at times I was ready to cry, she brushed off the incidents and concentrated on making my day magical. Thank you so much team at Drovers. You are the best.

I'm originally from the US and when I planned my wedding I wanted a venue that my family coming over from the States would love and could spend the weekend there. The Barn at Drovers is so much more than just the barn. You get so much for the price a whole entire farm estate. 2 barns and so many outdoor cool spaces. The family who run it are happy to help make it your own special day and nothing was too much trouble. The stone buildings is what I imagine english countryside to be and this farm is all that and more. My favourite were the fact that they had Alpacas and gave us food to feed them so they surrounded us. And there was a wee baby there as well. Kesri and her team are also very experienced and gave us advice we hadn't even thought of. The planning was so much easier as the venue doesn't need much in the way of decoration it looks amazing. And included is all the furniture, cutlery, crockery etc and they do the catering as well. We didn't want chair covers and table cloths and those typical wedding chairs and their furniture was all handmade and the frames designed with a local blacksmith. We visited the venue before booking and enjoyed a Sunday Lunch and the food really is outstanding. All our guests said it was the best food they have ever had!! All cooked on the fires, made it even more memorable. They managed to also cater for the dietaries very well and we were so impressed with the vegan options too. We live in London and this felt like a destination wedding to us even though it was still in the UK. I would highly recommend a wedding here especially for a couple interested in nature, are foodies and love animals. We were even able to bring our dog to enjoy the nuptials
