Celebrate in style
The venue is licensed for wedding ceremonies, and multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony areas give you lots of flexibility.
The yurt field is popular for tying the knot, with the impressive Gyrn Moelfre mountain as the backdrop.
The Dell is tucked away next to a stream that forms the border between England and Wales.
The event barn is perfect for ceremonies if the weather is poor and it can be decorated to suit any theme. Receptions usually take place in the event barn, but informal catering can be held under the Dutch Barn or on the yurt field.
Small celebrations are held in the farmhouse garden room, which is suitable for up to 25 guests.
