Wedding Open Days

The best way to fall for a venue

Nothing beats
seeing it in person

Photos can show you a venue. An open day lets you feel it. Our open days are free to attend and wonderfully relaxed: walk the ceremony spaces, taste the food, browse inspiration from real weddings and have every question answered by our team, all in one afternoon. No pressure and no sales patter, just a proper look at The BarnYard before you decide.

Book a private tour

We offer private venue tours on selected weekdays through the year. A private tour gives you one-on-one time with a senior coordinator, with no other couples around and our full attention on your plans.

Tours take around 90 minutes and can roll straight into a planning consultation if you would like to go deeper into your own vision.
