This magnificent 17th century barn has been sympathetically restored with modern comforts without losing any of its original charm. The Essex Barn seats between 50 and 150 guests for the wedding breakfast, can accommodate 200 guests in the evening and offers the convenience of the banqueting area, dance floor and licensed bar all under one roof.
Sitting across the lawn from the Essex Barn and adjacent to the Saddlery, the stunning restoration of the Hay Barn completes the trilogy of barns for your use at Blake Hall. The Hay Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 150 guests and with its beam-lined aisle, and magnificent picture window, provides a beautiful, year round, in-door alternative for wedding ceremonies at Blake Hall.
Between the Essex Barn and Hay Barn, and fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnership ceremonies, our couples have the choice of getting married under the canopy of the old Saddlery, with their guests looking on from the cedar wood benches on the beautiful lawn outside. A limestone path forms the aisle and a microphone and speakers have been strategically placed so that the ceremony can be clearly heard.
A three-bedroom cottage, beautifully renovated and stylishly furnished. It is ideal for the night before your big day and it is the perfect place to get ready with your bridal party. On the ground floor there is a lovely sitting room with adjoining fully equipped kitchen. The large dressing room is also downstairs where the bride and bridesmaids have seating and a dressing table with lights and mirrors to get ready.
A double bedroom with private terrace and en-suite shower room for your family and friends to stay in comfort on the night of your wedding. Close to the Wedding Barns, it is available until 12pm the following day. A large, light, bright family room with a double bed and two single beds plus an en-suite with bath and shower.

We originally booked our Wedding at Blake Hall for May 2020. We fell in love with the venue when we first visited. The grounds and barns are always well tended to, and each part of the venue is beautiful.
Due to government restrictions on Weddings, we postponed our Wedding on three occasiosn. The staff at Blake Hall could not have been more supportive and flexible at each stage. We really felt valued as a couple.
The day itself was absolutely amazing, and the staff could not have done more for us to help with the smooth running of the day. They were also really attentive to any requests made

What a fantastic venue!! Was so special for a wedding!!! My Cousin and his beautiful now Wife married there on Thursday and it was such a beautiful day!! Staff were all brilliant and couldn't be more helpful!! The food and service were great and bar staff so friendly and kind. The barns for the ceremony and evening reception were beautiful - such a beautiful venue!!
They were incredibly lucky with the weather on the day and the lawn games that were booked and organised were amazing and so much fun! Perfect amount of space.
I was also lucky enough to stay in the cottage next door at the venue
