About Ruffynes Barn

Dating back to the 16th century, this five bay barn has been lovingly & meticulously restored to its former glory whilst still offering the comforts of a contemporary event space of 250 square meters. Offering a magnificent setting for up to 120 seated guests for a wedding ceremony or breakfast, the barn can also accommodate up to 200 guests for an evening reception. Ruffynes Barn has an impressive oak structure with rustic chic design, creating an inviting ambience for your wedding day.

Nestled on the banks with panoramic views of Romney Marsh, Port Lympne Zoo, and the Channel beyond, Ruffynes Barn provides a stunning backdrop for any celebration. With its captivating scenery, the barn sets the stage for a wedding ceremony or breakfast.

In partnership with South East chef Will Burnett, we bring forth a myriad of culinary delights. Fern and Farrow meticulously plan every detail, from gourmet cuisine to personalized crockery and cutlery, ensuring a seamless alignment with your envisioned experience.

For couples seeking a traditional church ceremony, a brief stroll down the country lane leads to St Martin's Church in Aldington. This historic church, with its dramatic tower that once served as a notable landmark for sailors and smugglers alike, offers a seamless transition between your wedding events.

Our team is equipped with a pre-wedding planner and an on-the-day organizer to assist you in navigating every facet of your special celebration. Moreover, we provide a curated list of preferred suppliers, spanning photographers, videographers, florists, and hairdressers. Immerse yourself in the enchantment of Ruffynes Barn and craft memories that will endure a lifetime.

While Ruffynes Barn is an ideal venue for weddings, it also offers a perfect setting for diverse events, such as civil weddings and partnerships, christenings, private parties, and corporate events.
