About Sandhole Oak Barn

Any couple that choose Sandhole Oak Barn as their wedding venue will benefit from unbeatable views. The picturesque venue can play host to your whole wedding day, with options for a civil ceremony, space for your reception and beautiful accommodation

You’ll have the choice of either the Medieval-inspired oak beamed barn or the stunning Oak Clock Tower for your ceremony, both offering incredible views. The Oak Barn mixes period style with contemporary design pairing heavy oak beams and wrought iron cartwheel chandeliers with wall lights, under-floor heating and full-length windows that look out onto the lake. If it’s an outdoor ceremony that you’re after, you’ll love the Oak Clock Tower and its tranquil atmosphere. Positioned between the rolling countryside and the serene six-acre lake, it’s a truly idyllic spot to exchange vows.

Throughout your reception, you and your guests will be able to explore the grounds, soaking up the countryside atmosphere. You can choose to have your reception drinks on the large decked veranda, that overlooks the lake, or on cooler days enjoy the views from inside the warm and comfortable barn.

There’s also the Small Barn onsite, which is yours to use as you wish throughout your wedding day. It’s ideal for welcoming guests, entertaining children, or for using as a chill-out space once the evening party has begun.

Extensive overnight accommodation is also available on-site through the separate Sandhole Farm B&B, which has award-winning charming accommodation for you and 39 guests in the beautifully renovated stables.
