A Suffolk Wedding Venue That’s Anything But Ordinary

Looking for a wedding venue in Suffolk that’s a little bit different?

Welcome to Upthorpe Wood.

Set amongst woodland and gardens in the Suffolk countryside, Upthorpe is a unique, blank-canvas wedding venue for couples who want a wedding that feels like them.

Not a formal country house. Not a traditional wedding barn. And definitely not just a tipi in a field.

Think woodland ceremonies, chilled drinks amongst the trees, street food, cocktails, live music, dancing, fairy lights, sunset drinks and a firepit waiting for the evening to unfold around it.

It’s your wedding, your way.

Create a day that’s completely your own

One of the things that makes Upthorpe different is the freedom to use the venue in your own way.

There are three barns, two ceremony options, woodland and garden reception spaces, a woodland deck, sunset platform and firepit, giving you lots of places for different parts of your day.

You might say your vows beneath the trees, wander into the garden for drinks, enjoy dinner under the Cartlodge and then head into the Dancing Barn when it’s time to party.

​

Your ceremony can take place in our woodland glade or undercover in the Ceremony Barn, while the Dining Barn and Dancing Barn give you somewhere to eat, drink and party whatever the weather decides to do.

So you can embrace the outdoors without having to put all your faith in the forecast.

Bring the people you love — and the suppliers you love

Upthorpe is a dry-hire wedding venue, giving you the freedom to choose your own caterers, entertainment, florists, styling and other suppliers.

Want pizza?

Street food or live fire bbqs?

A beautiful sharing feast?

A brilliant evening live band or afternoon ceilidh?

Amazing entertainment, not the bog standard lawn games?

Go for it.
