Our rural wedding venue currently faces challenges in providing wheelchair accessibility due to the natural landscape and historic structures, we are actively working to improve this. We are committed to making our venue more inclusive and are in the process of exploring solutions to ensure that all guests can comfortably enjoy their experience. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated as we work towards this important goal.

Guide dogs are always welcome. Couples getting married can also have their dog present, as long as it’s on a lead and has a dedicated handler. This must be pre-approved by our onsite coordinator. For the safety of our livestock and to protect the farm environment, dogs cannot be let off the lead at any time.

The farmhouse features two drawing rooms, a conservatory, a kitchen, and a dining room. It includes five bedrooms with king-sized beds and one single room. Additionally, there are three extra single beds spread across two master bedrooms. The house sleeps 14 people.

Absolutely, we encourage all prospective clients to tour the wedding venue. This allows you to fully appreciate the beauty and atmosphere of the location. We would be delighted to arrange a personal tour at a time that suits you. Please contact us to schedule your visit.

We recommend booking the venue at least 8 to 12 months in advance to secure your date. Popular wedding months and weekends tend to fill up quickly, so early booking ensures you have the best chance of reserving your ideal time. However as we’ve JUST launched we have availability for 2025.

Hidden Acres isn’t currently licensed for legal ceremonies, but we’re excited to share that we’re working on it and plan to be licensed by 2026. In the meantime, many couples choose to have a small legal ceremony a few days before celebrating their big day with a beautiful celebrant-led ceremony at our venue. If you need any help, we have a selection of celebrant ceremony templates available to guide you through planning your perfect day. Should you wish to only be celebrant led, then that’s also fine with us!

We kindly invite you to inquire about available dates for 2025 and 2026. Please email us at your earliest convenience to discuss your preferred dates and any other details.

For details on our venue hire fee, please refer to our pricing tab.

We can accommodate up to 120 guests at the flat rate price.

Our coordinator will personally guide you through the venue, providing all the information you need, including template running sheets - these kick-start your wedding planning with confidence. Once every detail of your special day is carefully planned, you can hand over the reins. From that point on, our coordinator will take charge, ensuring your wedding day unfolds seamlessly, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.

The marquee will be fully set up and ready for you by your Friday check-in. You’re welcome to add your own personal touches to make it uniquely yours.

If selected, three empty bell tents will be set up on the garden grounds of the farmhouse. Your guests can enjoy the camping experience by bringing their own blow-up mattresses and bedding. The tents are offered at no additional cost and is included.

Low background music is permitted during the day, but due to the proximity of local residents, all loud music must only operate from 6 pm and MUST conclude by 11:00 pm. After this time, noise levels should be kept to a minimum. At Hidden Acres, we monitor and ensure that music does not exceed a specific decibel level. We kindly ask couples to inform their band or DJ of this requirement before the event.

For catering, we recommend using our preferred list of contractors, as they are familiar with the venue's logistics. Vehicle access to the marquee lawn can be challenging, so it is important that food providers are equipped to navigate it. If you prefer to use a different vendor, please ensure they coordinate with our on-site coordinator to arrange a site recce. The same guidelines apply to the DJ, band, or any other contractors who will need access to the ceremony and marquee lawns.

Contractors are expected to operate independently and should not rely on the property's water or electricity supply. They should be able to operate 'off grid'. Catering should not use the farmhouse kitchen.

A 25% deposit is required to secure your date and confirm the booking. The remaining 50% is due no later than 6 months before the event. The final balance is due no later than 3 months prior to the event. All above payments are non-refundable. A refundable £1,000 damages deposit is also required at the time of final payment.

Additionally, we have 40 clear umbrellas available for your ceremony if needed. For each wedding, we closely monitor the weather in the days leading up to the event to ensure we are fully prepared.

Our farmhouse offers three master bedrooms, providing ample space for both wedding parties to prepare comfortably. Conveniently located directly opposite the ceremony lawn, the farmhouse remains accessible throughout the day, allowing the wedding party to use the house as needed.

It is imperative that the entire property is returned to us in good condition. We kindly request that you and your wedding party ensure all areas of Hidden Acres are cleared and left in the same state as upon arrival. We will provide ample bins and bin bags for your convenience.
