The Courtyard
Local & Sustainable
Drinks
We love to support local growers and farmers wherever possible, an ethos that flows through to the drinks we stock too.
Not everyone knows (yet) but Kent is proving to be the perfect climate to grow award winning wine grape varieties. We are proud to stock local wines from some of the best local vineyards, right here on our doorstep; Simpsons, Chapel Down & Barnsole.
Kent is also full of apple orchards and we are lucky to have a wonderful producer of local apple juice, Owletts just down the road too!
What we do
We make dreams come true. No really we do. We have a stellar team of talented people who thrive on hosting.
Rustic simplicity is what it’s all about if you choose to marry at the Naked Tipi. Handcrafted from Chestnut coppice, felled right here on the farm. This tranquil spot is right by the water, surrounded by wildlife & views across the Water Meadow.
The Woodland Glade is the place to relax, feast & party. Home to the Big Hat Tipi, fire pit, rustic tree house, Champagne Shack Bar, Wild Roots Pizza Shack & Chapel Bathrooms the Glade has a cozy village-like feel.
With meandering paths cut through the long wild grasses you are taken on a journey through nature, from the boathouse, past the naked tipi and on over the footbridge to the magical Woodland Glade in the ancient woodland.
Gather together, relax and have some fun! We have a range of fabulous quirky ways to serve your wedding day drinks including Aris, our vintage car bar, gold barrows, brimming with cold beers and Kilner jars of your favourite cocktail.
Our extensive selection of accredited caterers is second to none & they will work with you to create your perfect wedding day feast, using fresh, locally sourced seasonal ingredients wherever possible. Please have a look on our accredited caterers page.
As you cross the footbridge it’s like entering a different world, as you leave the vast views and big skies of the Water Meadow to the cosy sanctuary of the Woodland Glade…here you can capture the best golden hour photos.
Spend the night with your loved ones, sleeping under the stars in one of our 10 beautifully curated bell tents. Then wake up and enjoy a breakfast together as the sun rises over the Meadow. Hot showers, luxury bed linen & proper beds.
Sustainably built & always fully stocked, our Champagne Shack bar is nestled into the heart of the Woodland Glade, ready to serve your favourite tipple. We are proud to also stock a selection of delicious, locally produced beer, wine & apple juice.
Sunsets here are simply spectacular – with big skies and miles of open views, the Water Meadow is the perfect spot for your photographer to capture the most beautiful golden hour pictures. The photographers seem to agree!
Feel connected to the woodland, with one side of the tipi open during the day, as you dine at our rustic refectory tables. As night falls the space transforms for your party with a dance floor area & stage for your band or DJ to set up.
The Tipis in the Woodland Glade take on a whole new dimension at night with hundreds of twinkly lights- if you have newer partied in the woods before, prepare to be blown away. Don’t forget your dancing shoes.

The Woodland Glade comes alive at night time with hundreds of twinkly lights, the fire pit, Champagne Shack and the tree house.
We would love for your beloved dog to be part of your wedding...they are even welcome to stay with you at the Glampsite. But if a full day is too much for your furry friend, we can recommend doggy daycare providers who will chaperone.
We are a family run farm, with a long-term vision to restore nature. Having been part of a rewilding project for nearly 30 years, The Wilderness is now a sanctuary for flora & fauna, with wildflowers, dragonflies, butterflies, and may rare wild birds.
