Alpheton Hall Barns are set in approx. 25 acres of grassland and woodland with ancient mediaeval spring fed fishponds in a fold of the Suffolk countryside. The Barns are surrounded by a further 1500 or so acres of organic farmland, often having sheep grazing nearby. Alpheton was founded, it is believed, by Aefflead, whose husband Byrthnoth, Earl of Essex, was killed at the battle of Maldon, on the Blackwater River in Essex, in AD 991.
The West or 'Ceremony' Barn is licenced for up to 250* for Civil Ceremonies but can easily be reconfigured for much more intimate weddings.

We are so happy we discovered Alpheton Hall Barns; it's the most beautiful venue and is filled with character. We had our wedding there in August and it was (rightly so) the best day of our lives.
Carol and Nic went above and beyond to make our day go smoothly and helped to mould it into the unique vision we had for it; they love hosting bespoke weddings. Nic is always brimming with ideas too.
We can't thank them enough for helping us make our day perfect. They clearly even stayed up late the night before our wedding adding finishing touches. Such a brilliant pair of people and an incredible

If you’re looking for a barn wedding, or any kind of wedding for that matter, look no further. My wife and I married at Alpheton Hall Barns on 9th October 2021 and it exceeded all expectations.
From our initial meeting, Carol and Nic were always on the end of the phone/email to answer any queries. They also offered their expertise to help us plan the perfect day and avoid any pitfalls they have come across in the years they’ve been hosting weddings.
When it came to the weekend, Nic and Carol were on hand to help us decorate the barn, meet with and advise suppliers and generally made the day

We were thrilled to have Alpheton Hall Barns as our wedding venue. The barn has been beautifully restored and allows for a wonderful setting with the surrounding grounds. Nic and Carol provided a relaxed and personable service to ensure the day ran smoothly and calmly. In the lead up they were always extremely responsive when answering any questions we had and welcomed us when we wished to visit the barn. We are very grateful for all their efforts, thank you.

This venue is so beautiful and was everything we were looking for. Its a blank canvas for you to make your own. The owners Nic and Carol are just amazing and couldn't be more helpful and lovely. Nothing is too much trouble and they are at hand to help at every twist and turn. We postponed our wedding from 2020 to 2021 due to Covid and this process could not of been easier with them, they are a true pleasure to work with we will definatley be back.

Words cannot describe how incredibly lucky (and smug) we feel to have chosen to have our wedding at Alpheton. Nic and Carol went above and beyond to ensure we had a beautiful day and memories we will cherish forever.
The three-day hire is fantastic, it allows more time to set up the venue exactly how you want it, without ever feeling stressed. We were lucky to have picked fantastic suppliers, but I have no doubt that even without this, the day would have been seamless from start to finish. Nic and Carol blended effortlessly in with our guests- yet still managed to serve guests food, take candid
