The Barns
YOUR GUIDE TO
The Barns at Lodge Farm is a quiet, rural oasis nestled in acres of farmland just outside London, available to hire for weddings, corporate, and private events.
Though our venue is just a stone's throw from the big city, our beautiful barns are peacefully hidden in amongst the arable land that has been worked by our family for over 100 years. We take great pride in growing a sustainable and friendly family-run business, and we’re loving opening the doors of our farm to life’s celebrations. To stay true to the calibre of service we want to offer, we only host a limited number of events per year - so that we can give you all the attention, care, and support you need.
Come and experience our full range of effortlessly beautiful spaces.
The Granary
A beautiful traditional timber-frame barn, built in 1870 and licenced for civil wedding ceremonies.
Capacity: 160
The Boulton & Paul Bar
A chic and stylish newly converted barn, boasting original brickwork & steelwork and unusual curved ceilings, and perfect for drinks receptions/private functions.
Capacity: 60-100
The Field
A stunning grass meadow adjacent to the barns which overlooks the rolling countryside, perfect for tipis/marquees/glamping, or outdoor drinks receptions and games.
The Billet Hut
The Billet Hut is our newly refurbished, cosy retreat - a private, light-filled space with its own changing room, and toilet facilities.
Perfect for those final touches, shared breakfasts, and a few quiet moments before the big day begins.
The Grain Store
A more modern, industrial barn which is an epic space for parties.
Capacity: 250
The Courtyard
A gorgeous outdoor space between the two barns, ideal for outdoor drinks receptions and games.

A large, light and airy converted barn with its own kitchen, yours exclusively for the morning of your wedding to have breakfast and get ready in with friends and family (maybe with a cheeky glass of bubbly!)
Our beautiful barns are peacefully hidden in amongst the arable land that has been worked by our family for over 100 years.
We only host a limited number of events per year - so that we can give you all the attention, care & support you need.
On the day coordination
AN EVENT MANAGER DEDICATED TO YOU
You’ll have your own Event Manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the journey - from the first planning meeting right through to the last dance.
About a year before your wedding, we’ll sit down together to finalise all the big pieces like your band, catering, and overall vision.
Then, 4 - 6 weeks ahead of your big day, we’ll meet again to dive into the finer details: timings, table layouts, décor touches, and everything in between.
On the day itself, we’ll be there - clipboard in hand - to coordinate it all seamlessly. That means managing suppliers, keeping everything on track, and handling any little hiccups behind the scenes so you don’t have to.
You can switch off your phone, soak it all in, and simply enjoy every moment, knowing we’ve got it covered.

“We got married at The Barns at Lodge Farm in Sept 2025 and had the most beautiful day! We loved the setting and the fact we had multiple indoor spaces to use - plus a great yard area and two comfortable getting ready rooms. We got to bring in our own caterers which was important to us. Most importantly, the space was very accessible to me (the bride) as a wheelchair user. It felt like it ticked all the boxes.”
— Amy & Jordan, September 2025
