Access is from 10am on Friday until 6pm that evening. You and your suppliers are welcome from 9am on the day of the wedding.

Midnight. With music no later than 11.30pm. Campers are of course welcome to stay but with no alcohol served or music played after 11.30pm.

We will monitor the volume of live music and advise if the volume needs to be reduced. As an outdoor venue this is often influenced by the wind. As we are in a natural environment we must be respectful of the neighbours and the animals nearby.

No due to animals living on site. We encourage you to enjoy the clear night skies and spot shooting stars instead!

No naked flames are permitted apart form fire pits provided by a marquee/ tipi company. We have lots of LED candles in our Barn of Curiosities however which you are very welcome to use.
