Outdoor Weddings

A dry-hire glamping wedding venue in the Wiltshire countryside

Your day, your way

A festival-style outdoor wedding

Three acres of countryside, an old oak tree, fire pits, and the darkest skies in southern England. Our site provides a beautiful informal setting for a laid-back outdoor wedding that you and your guests will remember.

This is a dry-hire venue - you hire the site and arrange everything else yourselves. Your own caterers, your own marquee, your own entertainment. There is no venue coordinator or approved supplier list. You have the freedom to do it however you want.
