One of the most sustainable wedding venues in the UK. Sheepdrove has been built to be as ethically and environmentally responsible as possible. Our impact on the environment has been minimised by using recycled, renewable and local materials.
Every detail has been considered to create a wedding venue that aims to be 100% carbon neutral and puts all of its efforts into protecting and enhancing the magnificent wildlife and landscape that we are a part of. It’s not just our building that makes a difference - our whole estate has been building biodiversity and enhancing the environment for over the past 15 years.
An inspiring, flexible canvas upon which to create a truly unique wedding day. We offer exclusive use on the day of the wedding and the day before to enable you to dress the venue as you wish.
We don't tie you into in house caterers instead we work with a handpicked selection of outside catering companies that locally source all produce to meet your needs; organic and non-organic. Alternatively, you can pick your own. We have our own fully licensed bar.
We are licences for civil ceremonies in two of our rooms; the cathedral-like vaulted Oak room and the light and airy Beech room. We have a wealth of unique and inspiring spaces for you to use exclusively: A circular Rook's nest in our entrance tower, a flint Mosaic amphitheatre, an aromatic physic garden, lake, boathouse and jetty, all encapsulated within a 2,500 acre organic estate.
We held our wedding at Sheepdrove in July 2018. From the moment we first visited Sheepdrove we knew it was the venue was for us. The setting as absolutely stunning, nestled away in the rolling Berkshire hills. The venue itself was like nothing else we had been to see and was a great alternative to the many traditional barn-style venues we had seen. Above all Kerry and the rest of the staff were welcoming and friendly, we really got the feeling that they genuinely wanted to help out all they could to make our day perfect. As for the day itself, we couldn't have asked for any more, the weather was perfect and the guests loved being able to wander the grounds between the ceremony and dinner. To top it all off the organic food was absolutely fantastic and it's one of the things friends have brought up whenever we've talked about the wedding since. We really couldn't recommend Sheepdrove enough!!!

Recently stayed here for a family wedding, at the small eco lodge bungalow. Absolutely amazing place, and I'm still thinking about the food!
