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.

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.”
