Wantisden Valley

The feel

Wantisden Valley is able to provide a venue for civil ceremonies and receptions in a beautiful and very private location in Suffolk. There is a variety of different buildings available designed to suit all needs as well as picturesque areas outside for photographs or drinks on a summer’s day.

The Shepherd’s Cottage is an 18th Century thatched building nestled on the edge of a medieval wood and overlooking extensive lakes. It is licensed for civil ceremonies and small receptions for up to 40 guests. There is an enclosed garden and patio area outside with an open log fire and original brick floor inside. This is perfect for an intimate occasion.

The Mixing Barn is licensed to hold from 40 to 170 guests for civil ceremonies. It is of brick and flint construction which is fully carpeted and is attached to the Main Barn where a reception can be held to seat 100 – 300 guests. This is also brick and flint, fully carpeted with a marquee lining in the roof. There is a large dance floor and licensed bar.
