Upthorpe |Wood gardenn Reception area
Walk through the show stopping 8ft entrance doors and you'll find yourselves in the garden reception area. A great spot for both day or night. Here you'll find a Cartlodge, Barn & Hyde Hut.
Shaded by an ancient Oak and Ash trees, the garden is always filled with the sound of laughing and chatting throughout the day.
Bring in a vintage food truck to serve your evening guests some amazing street food.
Once night falls the garden becomes a magical hidden spot filled with twinkly lighting. The cutest Hyde Hut houses the firepit, Are you ready to toast those marshmallows!

Woodland Barn & Bar
Do we have any covered areas? Yes, we certainly do - 3 in fact.
Each are filled to the max with fairylighting.
The first is a fabulous Dining area for up to 100 seated guests. The 2nd is a daytime undercover ceremony or reception barn and the 3rd is the go to Disco space either for your chosen DJ or Band. Our In-house Bar is found here too, serving up a large selection of drinks & cocktails for your day from the coolest little Bar around.
The Barn is also licensed for Civil ceremonies.

Cartlodge
Our Cartlodge, seats 100, perfect for feasting under or setting up as a chill out area for your guests.
With a serving area and catering prep space, it's great for caterers to work from or maybe to use to set up your cake table/bake offs or ice cream parlour, how about as a chill out space for your older wedding guests?
