About
Moat Hall Barns has been within the family for over 80 years. The historic farmhouse, dating back to the time of Henry VIII, showcases its original timber framing, intricate plasterwork, and hidden priest holes. The farmyard features charming brick barns with ancient oak beams alongside more modern structures. Amy's father fondly recalls The Top Barn and Hayloft, now the primary event spaces, once bustling with cart horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. The surrounding fields continue to serve as grazing pastures, so you might catch a glimpse of dairy cows or sheep on your wedding day. In the converted farmyard, you may encounter a few chickens, playful cats eager to join your wedding photos, and, if you're fortunate, some peacocks and guineafowl.
Since May 2023, they have been hosting beautiful weddings, and can’t wait to hear your exciting plans!
