Setting
Chaucer Barn rests on the edge of Gresham, a picturesque village in North Norfolk. It’s situated within a scenic valley designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a short distance away, the pristine beaches of Holkham and Wells, along with the quaint towns of Sheringham and Cromer, create a landscape rich with seaside charm. The nearby National Trust salt marshes-home to the UK’s largest colony of Grey seals-offer a touch of untamed beauty, while the Georgian town of Holt entices with its boutiques and cafés. Sailing, scenic walks, and year-round birdwatching make this a destination that draws in nature lovers and explorers alike.
Ceremony
Chaucer Barn offers couples a vast array of ceremony locations that are as unique as they are meaningful. With spaces ranging from the cathedral-like grandeur of the main hall to the contemporary style of the pink sitting room, each area can be tailored to reflect your vision. The parkland spans 16 acres and provides an ideal backdrop, from the topiary pyramid forest to the oak-lined avenues. You may exchange vows in a woodland clearing or among wildflowers under a living willow arch.
Reception
Chaucer Barn’s reception options are limited only by your imagination. Various lawns await those seeking an open-air celebration, with both intimate and spacious layouts to suit any party size. The flexibility offered allows you to design a reception that perfectly reflects your style and preferences.
Chaucer Barn’s team is available to offer guidance and recommendations for every aspect of your celebration, from planning to preferred suppliers. They provide the freedom to choose your own suppliers while being ready to assist whenever needed, ensuring the planning process is as seamless and enjoyable as the event itself.
Accommodation
The barn’s accommodation offers space and comfort in a warm, communal atmosphere. With nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms, guests are encouraged to settle in for a long weekend or mid-week stay. Five luxurious, self-contained eco-lodges sit within the woods on the edge of the parkland, each with space for up to four guests. Designed with both style and comfort in mind, these lodges feature wood-burning stoves, mood lighting, and views over the parkland and its stone circle, creating a secluded yet homely atmosphere.
Sustainability

Their positioning within the parkland allows guests to enjoy nature without impacting the surrounding environment, supporting a mindful approach to luxury and relaxation.
