About
Setting

Tucked away in the Cambridgeshire countryside, Bassmead Manor Barns is a truly romantic retreat where centuries of history meet modern elegance. This exclusive venue blends rustic charm with contemporary design, creating a setting that feels both timeless and effortlessly stylish.

From your first visit to the final dance, Bassmead Manor Barn’s friendly and experienced team will be by your side, ensuring every detail runs seamlessly. With their warm hospitality and attention to detail, you can simply relax and savour every unforgettable moment.

Ceremony

Begin your day in style with Bassmead Manor Barns’ beautiful preparation spaces. The Salon and Boudoir, located in the heart of the venue, offers a light-filled, elegant suite with dedicated hair and make-up stations, a chic dressing room for that special reveal, and a relaxed lounge for pre-ceremony fizz. Just across the moat, The Dudeoir provides a purpose-built retreat for partners and their party to get ready in comfort and style, blending rustic charm with contemporary touches for a calm, private start to the day.

Say “I do” beneath the ancient oak beams of the Rickety Barn, a 300-year-old gem steeped in character and romance. Soft lighting, exposed timbers and wrought-iron chandeliers create a setting that feels intimate and magical.

If you’re dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, the Thatched Bower offers a picturesque alternative. Here, dappled light and wide-open views across the surrounding countryside create a naturally cinematic open-air experience. It’s an effortlessly romantic place to exchange vows and begin your married life together immersed in nature, fresh air and quiet magic.

Reception

Following your vows, celebrate with a glass of fizz in the Moat Barn, a bright and contemporary space that opens onto a landscaped garden, perfect for mingling with loved ones and maybe spotting one of the resident peacocks!

Your wedding breakfast takes place in the Bridge Barn, a stunning light-filled room overlooking the moat. Its neutral palette provides the ideal backdrop for your personal style, whether you’re dreaming of rustic romance, modern minimalism, or a bold splash of colour.

As the evening unfolds, the Bridge Barn, with its chic, modern vibe, transforms into your dancefloor whilst guests can step outside to enjoy the ambience of the outdoor kitchen serving wood-fired pizzas or vibrant street food.

Accommodation

When the celebrations draw to a close, newlyweds can retreat to Dove Cottage, a luxurious honeymoon hideaway overlooking the gardens. Just a short stroll across the moat, Appletree Cottage offers seven beautifully furnished bedrooms for your nearest and dearest.

Wake up together the next morning and share a relaxed breakfast, reminiscing about an unforgettable day.

Food & Drink

At Bassmead Manor Barns, food and drink are at the heart of the celebration. The talented on-site chefs craft dishes that delight the senses, whether you choose a formal plate meal, a relaxed sharing feast, or an evening of sizzling street food and wood-fired pizzas.

Bassmead Manor Barns’s flexible à la carte menu gives you the freedom to design a dining experience that feels uniquely yours, and if you have something special in mind, the team will happily help you bring it to life.

Complement your meal with carefully selected wines, locally sourced ingredients, and signature cocktails that add a dash of personality to your day. Every bite and sip is served with care, creativity, and style.

An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish with very professional management of our wedding and friendly, helpful staff. The behind the scene staff worked unobtrusively and feverishly to allow our wedding to run as smooth as silk. The venue was kept meticulously clean and beautiful. A special mention for Jennifer who was very helpful and professional throughout catering for our every needs. The food was beautiful and very tasty as all the guests commented how wonderful it was. We found the enclosed venue made people socialise more allowing for a more pleasurable experience all around. 5 out of 5 from us… well done Bassmead Manor Barns.

We had the most amazing wedding day at Bassmead Manor Barns. The venue is stunning and we loved everything about it. Amanda was fantastic in the lead up to our wedding, helping us to get our heads around everything that needed doing and she made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and particularly enjoyed the delicious food. We had the best day and couldn’t have wished for a better venue. We just wish we could do it all over again!

 

Laura G.

Amazing venue, visited for a wedding… beautiful barns, reception and courtyard, bar and dining area! Staff were great also!

Vicki I.

An amazing day! Gorgeous setting. Scrumptious food. Staff friendly and helpful making sure that all ran smoothly. A real delight. Thank you.

Fay NJ.

Beautiful venue and lovely staff. From the moment I came to look at this venue, the rickety barn took my breath away. I knew I wanted to get married here. It’s so beautiful with the bridge and the moat around. Thank you to the lovely Jenny for all your help and making our day so beautiful.

Emma W.

Stuart and I were married 10th March this year. Hayley and the team were absolutely amazing. The venue for us was perfect, food and drink perfect and our day was beautiful. From the word go everyone made sure the day ran smoothly, it was sad that the day went so quickly. We would happily recommend this venue as it is truly special. Thank you is sometimes not enough to say but we would have to say a massive thank you to Hayley and all for making our first day as a married couple perfect. It set us up so well for our honeymoon adventure that started the next day.

Debbie S.

This is a fantastic venue. My sister got married here on 8th April 2018 and the service was outstanding. Never been to a wedding which ran so smoothly like this one did. Charlotte who works in Events at Bassmead Manor was excellent. She should be very proud! From the minute we arrived to the minute we departed I can truly say, there was no faults. If you’re looking to have your wedding here, I 100% recommend!

 

The Heath Family

We had our wedding at Bassmead last Friday and it was everything we could have ever dreamt of! Hayley was so helpful from the beginning and our day ran so smoothly it was perfect. She was an absolute star at helping us organise and plan final details and was there throughout our day checking that we were okay. We cannot thank her and the rest of the team at Bassmead enough. It is a beautiful venue and an equally beautiful team running it.

Mr & Mrs Armstrong

Absolutely stunning venue! As a photographer I see many weddings at different venues and Bassmead Manor is one of the best I’ve seen. The whole day went smoothly and the attention to detail is superb. There was so much on offer. The bridal suite, the barn for the ceremony, the beautiful conversion for the reception. It simply has it all. Looking forward to returning very soon to photograph another wedding.

Beth Y.

We got married here on Sunday 14th October and it was truly the best day of our lives. Everything ran like clockwork and the venue was decorated to perfection. The team were amazing making sure the whole day ran smoothly. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the barns were. We had Rob from strobe disco do our music and announcements for the whole day and he was fab! Bassmead is a stunning venue and despite the rain we managed to get some beautiful photos outside and inside the rickety barn. We cannot recommend this wedding venue enough and would like to thank all the staff that helped make our day perfect.
