Whole Venue at Elms Barn
About this space
The 17th-century barn is an exquisite example of rural architecture, nestled in the Waveney Valley. Built by William Marsh in 1648, the barn is a beautiful example of traditional English craftsmanship. Centuries later, it serves as a perfect setting for your wedding celebration. Licensed for civil ceremonies and marriages for up to 120 guests and a further 80 evening guests, the barn is a magical and versatile venue for your special day.
A wonderful additional area for you to use for both the day and evening. Attached directly to the barn, our marquee and patio area offer you extra space. Designed to blend in with the elegance of the barn itself, the fixed marquee is equipped to host your pre or post-wedding drinks, canapé reception, and evening entertainment. Spacious and tastefully furnished, it can be personalized to your celebrations and is included with the venue hire.
