About
Setting

FY Camp offers a distinctive, eco-conscious, festival-style wedding experience in the heart of Wendling, Norfolk. Spanning four exclusive acres, it features a scenic meadow licensed for civil partnerships and weddings, a versatile Warehouse Bar with a disco room and American pool table, and a retro double-decker bus that doubles as a chill-out zone or photo booth. Guests are welcomed with a polished concrete bar for reception drinks and an al-fresco Lean-To dining area, seating up to 120 guests at rustic tables and benches. Communal facilities include a camp kitchen with a fridge, two butler sinks, and a large, styled fire pit for evenings under the stars.

Ceremony

The outdoor ceremony room sits at the heart of the camping meadow, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your vows. The space features a rustic ceremony table, 20 wooden benches, and a PA system for music. The Wren’s Nest is a dedicated preparation area for the wedding party, complete with a water station. Support on the day is provided by a Camp Supervisor and Camp Assistant from 11am until the end of the ceremony.

Reception

Evening celebrations take place in the Warehouse Bar, an atmospheric and lively space complete with a disco room, an American pool table, and quirky giant gnomes. It’s such a fabulous space!

Accommodation

The camping meadow provides a charming glamping experience, featuring The Wren’s Nest for the happy couple, The Little Hut (sleeping two), and six canvas bell tents, each sleeping four. There are nine additional pitches for personal tents and space for more. On-site amenities include luxury loos, hot showers, solar lighting, and power. A communal kitchen in the meadow has a fridge, BBQs, and butler sinks, while the large, styled fire pit offers a cosy evening gathering space. Additional farmhouse accommodation may be available upon request.

Food & Drink

FY Camp is a dry hire venue, allowing you to tailor your catering experience. Choose from the venue’s recommended suppliers or bring in your own caterers. Rustic tables and benches for up to 120 guests are provided, but additional seating may be required if using different dining areas. Kitchen hire, including access to The Kitchen’s Wood-Fired Pizza Chefs, is available, and there is the option to hire extra team members to assist with preparation, service, washing up, and clearing down. If bringing your own drinks, corkage applies.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of FY Camp’s ethos. Single-use plastics are strictly avoided, and the venue’s bar and drink suppliers are carefully chosen for their ethical and eco-friendly practices. Partnerships with brands and suppliers that give back to their communities and work to minimise environmental impact are prioritised.

For a post-wedding adventure, The Broads are 30 minutes from Norwich, offering 125 miles of lock-free waterways.

FAQs
What's your policy on corkage and alcohol?

All weddings at FY Camp are dry-hire only. Use our empty bar for your own drinks or hire a third-party bar (10% commission applies). Corkage fees are £7 per 750ml wine bottle and £10 for fizz or spirits. Corkage must be discussed and prepaid three months before the wedding, with no refunds for unused bottles. We're happy to help calculate the perfect drink quantities for your guest numbers, so feel free to ask for guidance.

What decorations do you provide?

We provide tables, benches, vases, and candlesticks for the Warehouse Bar and Ceremony Room, excluding Dining Areas, to allow for personal styling. Accommodation includes fairy lights, while festoon lights brighten the bus area, warehouse, and lean-to. Couples have access to special chairs, rugs, aisle runner, cushions, sheepskins, and blankets. In-house extras for hire include jam jars, tea lights, crockery, cutlery, a performance stage, boho-bride decor, low tables, and festival flags. Additional items like draping, table settings, linens, retro glasses, plants, shimmer walls, lawn games, light-up letters, and flowers can be arranged via local suppliers.

Can we bring extra guests, campervans, caravans and dogs?

Extra guests are welcome, with a £2.50 charge per guest over 120 (max 220 guests). Extra campers are £10 per adult, £5 per child (3-16), plus a £10 tent pitch fee per night. Camper vans are £25, but caravans aren't recommended. Bell tents can be hired via a recommended supplier. The sleepover guest limit is 120. Dogs are welcome for a £25 fee plus a cleaning/damage deposit. They must be on a lead, cleaned up afterwards, and crate-trained if they sleep in on-site accommodation.

What about music and noise?

We love to dance! Amplified music is allowed during the ceremony and as daytime background music by the bus. Evening bands, DJs, and dance floors must be in the Disco Room, where noise is monitored. Sound-checks ensure music stays within our licensed 80-89 decibel limit, allowing bar staff to communicate and avoiding disturbance to village residents. Music ends at midnight on weekends and 11 pm on weekdays. After midnight, if heading to the meadow or fire, no amplified music or loud partying is permitted, and personal speakers are not allowed. Enjoy a fun, unforgettable reception party with us!

Do you have an environmentally friendly clear-down?

We prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness, following a camp ethos that includes a strict no single-use plastics policy in the camping meadow and during parties.

What will happen to your flowers/decorations after they are taken down?

Guests must remove all decorations and leave the camping meadow as found, using the provided bins for waste and recycling. Extra waste must be taken to a local recycling centre. Sky lanterns, glow sticks, and flammable liquid fuels are not allowed. Fireworks require pre-arrangement to notify neighbours. Fires must be kept safe, and smoking is only permitted in designated areas with ashtrays provided. Smoking in or near tents or accommodation is prohibited.

What about catering and food?

FY does not provide catering but welcomes your chosen suppliers and can offer recommendations. DIY buffets require meadow facilities and hired fridges, with extra staff for prep, service, washing up, and clearing down. Food must be cleared from the warehouse by midnight. Caterers must be risk-assessed, food hygiene trained, fully insured, and have their own staff for service and cleanup. Alcohol service is only allowed as part of corkage. Use of FY's kitchen requires prior arrangement and a £120 fee, with an extra charge for the wood oven. Single-use plastics are prohibited; only compostable disposables are allowed.
