The Setting
Barnston Lodge is a beautiful 18th Century manor house with stunning grounds in the heart of the Essex countryside.
It’s surrounded by wildlife, fields and grazing horses. The extensive lawns stretch down to a beautiful lake, making a stunning backdrop for any photos.
Also included: a rare nineteenth century summer house known as the Brew House, which would’ve been used to make beer back in the day. Today, though, it’s a candlelit snug where guests can retire from the dance floor and cosy up around the large fire.
St Andrew’s church is a stone’s throw away from the venue. It’s a Norman church which provides the perfect country setting to get married in.
The Vibe
At Barnston Lodge, they offer their grounds exclusively to you for the entire weekend. This includes lots of support from the venue owner, Jane, and access to ‘The Brew House’, a candlelit summer house complete with open fire.

The Setting
Littlefield Manor is a beautiful venue for your wedding reception or special event. It is set in a peaceful location amidst 400 acres of farmland with stunning countryside views, just 3 miles from Guildford.
The Vibe
The long rural driveway leads to the beautiful Jacobean-fronted house with surrounding farm buildings. Parking for your guests is situated at the rear of the farm.
The private gardens form several distinct areas for your celebrations;
The grounds are suitable for a relaxed barbecue or hog roast but are equally suited to a more formal seated reception in your chosen style.
The Manor House itself has two homely double bedrooms for guests to stay in, and there is also the option for guests to camp or glamp in an additional field on the farm overnight.
The Photo opportunities are endless…
Romantic, Intimate Weddings
If you are looking for a smaller elopement-style venue, then the newly converted barn at Littlefield Manor is perfect.
Enjoy a relaxed ceremony in the gardens (weather permitting) or in the main house’s drawing room, followed by an intimate lunch or dinner in the barn. To complete your special day, you can even stay overnight in one of the guest rooms.
