Wedding of our dreams
We had our wedding in August 2024, planned by Paige & coordinator Britt who made this the most special day we could have ever asked for. The planning stages were so well organised, thoughtful & nothing was ever too much trouble. Both coordinators are so passionate & it shows in their work. Our wedding day was faultless, beautiful; better than we could have ever imagined. All the staff on the day were brilliant, friendly & professional. All our guests kept giving compliments on the day as a whole, including how amazing the food was. We visit the Farmhouse on numerous occasions; great food & atmosphere every time. We can't speak highly enough of the Folly for a wedding.

Best day!
We had the best wedding day at the Folly at the Farmhouse. Planning a wedding can be really stressful but during the lead up, the whole team was wonderful and really put you at ease. They really know what they are doing and will tell you what to do and where to be on the day so you do not have to worry about a thing. The whole team were really accommodating, from the wedding planners Abi and Paige to the bar and catering staff. The folly is a beautiful venue and just what we wanted for our day. Couldn't be happier!

Amazing Day ! Perfect !
Highly recommend this venue. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Friendly, relaxed and very attentive. They allowed us to have the room the day before to decorate, always offering help. And couldn’t do enough for us all throughout the day. Impressed with the canapés and drinks on arrival, plenty to go around too. Lovely room and surroundings outside, all clean. The fire pit was a lovely addition in the evening, we could bring our own marshmallows. Grass area ideal for families and grooms football !! Meal was great, more than enough. Pizzas in the evening were outstanding - although we were still full after the main meal ! If you are thinking of this venue for around 100 guests - we highly recommend especially if you are on a budget as we were. Breakfast together the day after was a lovely touch and a nice ending to it all. Couldn’t have been any better - thank you Farmhouse !

The venue itself is utterly beautiful, it felt like the whole place glowed on our wedding day!!! The staff are incredible, they helped make our day so much fun and truly so magical. The whole wedding was just breathtaking, I can’t thank them enough!!!

A very special Day
A great local venue for us, the venue and staff were amazing!! Very helpful with the set up of the day from the planning meetings. We were fortunate enough to have lovely weather so we could have the fire lit in the evening for toasted marshmallows. We had an amazing day!! Thank you all again.

Stunning Venue
We had our day in April 2022 and from the first moment we viewed the Folly in 2020 we knew it was the place for us! So down to earth and nothing was too big or small for the team! They regularly have open days and showcases where you can see it set up in all its glory. All our guests commented on the lovely venue and staff and we love that we can go back to visit anytime!

Flawless from start to finish
We got married here in September 2022 and I couldn't fault the process or the day. Nothing was too much and we were kept up to date on everything. Emails were promptly replied to which when planning a wedding and feeling a tad stressed makes things much smoother. The day went without a hitch. The staff were amazing, food was delicious and venue was perfect. Would highly recommend if you are on the search for your perfect venue.

A Magical Day ✨
Despite our wedding planning taking place during the years of COVID, the team did everything they could to support our special day. I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible place to say I do and would recommend it to anybody looking for a beautiful venue that you can add your own special touches to. Thank you so much for everything, we love coming back to the restaurant to reminisce and will always recommend this amazing venue💖💖💖

From the moment we booked the venue right until we were married everything was perfect. The staff were so friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble for them.
