5. Agneshill Farm
Specifically designed as a ceremony wedding venue, the pretty and rustic Agneshill do ‘mingle weddings' where they provide their indoor space for the ceremony, and their outdoor space purely for drinks and nibbles directly after the ceremony. The idea is that this can help couples save money and then after the event they can either jet off alone, or head onto a meal with their family and friends. The venue is chilled and laidback with whitewashed wood beams and can seat up to 100 people. The whole event usually takes between 3 to 4 hours total, with the wedding beginning at 2pm, lasting around half an hour and followed by your little celebration until 5pm. All you need to bring is your own drink and any special decorations you’d like to have at the venue.
