The Wedding Barn

Make it your own

Fairbank Wedding Barn is centred around the striking traditional stone barn, with exposed wooden beams and lime rendered white walls – a blank canvas for you to style and decorate as much, or as little, as you wish! Adjoining the barn is our charming bar area, with access down a staircase to the Lower Courtyard and adjacent traditional barn, The Shippon. Both the main barn and The Shippon are licenced areas to host your ceremony, giving you the flexibility to surprise your guests with the majesty of the barn for your wedding breakfast, after your ceremony under the quaint eaves of The Shippon.

Fairbank Wedding Barn has outdoor space in abundance, surrounded by open fields and the lawned gardens of the onsite accommodation, all of which is included in our wedding package. Around every corner, you will find endless photo opportunities and quiet places to steal a kiss and enjoy a moment of peace on your big day! The lawn or surrounding land are also ideal for guests to camp (or glamp!) by prior arrangement.

The Tarn

Fairbank Farm is also home to a private 12-acre tarn; situated a 15 minute walk across fields from the venue. On your wedding day we can transport you and your photographer so you can head off and make the most of this beautiful backdrop for a great photo opportunity and enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet with your new spouse.

The nature of the venue means you are free to provide extra decoration to put your own stamp on it. You could add extra lights, fairy lights, floral decoration, drapes or foliage hangings to name just a few… or leave the barn minimal to let the traditional rustic charm wow your guests.
