The stunning, environmentally friendly conversion of historic barns stands just metres from Sandon Manor. It’s an exceptionally stylish and flexible space to create bespoke weddings with a romantic, historic, yet elegant ambience. Sandon Manor is situated by the Medieval Hall; this stunning Grade II listed manor house has been recently refurbished and provides sumptuous accommodation for the wedding party, sleeping 18 across seven bedrooms. 

Multiple reception rooms and dining spaces allow excellent pre- and post-wedding celebrations. It seats up to 150 guests and transforms seamlessly into a hall for celebrations. With dramatic beams, a stunning cocktail celebration bar, surround sound and party lighting within the dance pod, this is an inspirational and magical space for feasting and dancing the night away. The stunningly appointed Dovecot sits next to The Medieval Hall offers a perfect Bridal Suite complete with a double bed in a mezzanine bedroom, a cosy seating area with a wood-burning stove, plus a kitchen and bathroom.

 Arrive with family and friends the day before for a relaxing start to celebrations. Let the staff spoil loved ones with afternoon teas on the lawn, games and activities for the children or intimate pre-wedding feasts before gathering in one of the beautiful reception rooms for drinks around a roaring fire.
