Nature Inspired Style

The Sancroft Barns is a glorious wedding venue sitting in the gently rolling north Suffolk countryside, where couples can get married and entertain their wedding guests in an exclusive, intimate and tranquil country setting. This lovely example of a high Victorian farmstead, with a 16th century Tudor threshing barn at its core is quite unique. The barn’s renovation has retained its originality and rustic appearance, making it simply beautiful with up-to-date facilities and plenty of modern twists. To get married within its russet brick and timber walls will be a truly memorable experience for you. But it doesn’t stop there as the summer marquee offers another sumptuous space in which the day can be celebrated with friends and family. It’s a perfect fit for your wedding breakfast, which will naturally lead to the evening partydance back in the barn, with its vaulted ceilings and stunning lights. The beautiful sun-drenched courtyards each side of the barn are ideal for an afternoon or evening reception overlooking the paddocks and wild flower meadows; and later to relax and watch the sun dipping behind the distant fields. The whole place oozes character and calm. This space is a blank canvas for you to dress and theme the day, and as a dry hire venue you can have the caterers and suppliers of your choice. You’ll get the day just the way you have always dreamt of. With the adjacent wooded paddock, there is even an opportunity to have the ceremony outdoors under the East Anglian sky, using the backdrop of our classic thatched Suffolk farmhouse. And photographers will be able to find areas in the gardens to capture your special day forever; with its pond, a moat, neat hedges, lawns and seasonal roses and flower borders, the memories it will generate will have you never wanting to leave. Once the celebrations are over, there is space to camp on the peaceful paddocks in hired-in Bell Tents, the path being lit by lines of festoon lighting.
