A mixture of rustic elements entwined with military tradition, just as the weather entwined summer sunshine with hacking downpours!

Standard procedure nowadays!

Bit that certainly did not take any of the magic and warmth away from a beautiful wedding ✨

We are perfectionists in everything we do...detail matters.

So for our Festival Weddings we have carefully created a variety of drinks packages, you both then choose exactly what you fancy. Not into wine? Why not choose cocktails, real ale & some spirits? Its all your choice – we then can stagger the drinks service across the property and across the day at times of your choosing 🍸

To find out about our Festival or Traditional weddings please just contact us directly ☺️
