Our Church Barn Wedding Venue
Church Manor Barn’s history is rooted in Norfolk’s scenic landscape. It was used as a traditional farm building until 2012 when it was refurbished into a beautiful wedding venue.
Take in the view through our grand glass frontage, perfect for enjoying Norfolk’s beautiful scenery during your celebrations. Nearby lies an orchard, a dovecote, and a tapestry of gardens—each a picture-perfect setting to capture memories. The barn is your secluded haven, free from distractions, letting you enjoy your special day with your loved ones in peace.
Our Story
Since moving to Church Manor Farm, we have gradually been working towards making it ecologically friendly and carbon negative. We’ve always been environmentally conscious and felt strongly about wanting to create a business that supports the environment and ensures sustainability. We now have solar panels and a wind turbine that supply electricity, together with solar thermal and ground source heat pumps that provide heating and hot water.
To continue developing a place that positively impacts the natural environment, we introduced the Golden Pheasant onto the estate in 2016. These colourful creatures are bursting with character, and by breeding them, we are helping to increase their population.
In 2018 we held a family wedding in the barn, which inspired us to transform the building into a beautiful wedding venue for others to enjoy. The barn is available for Saturday weddings during the summer months to ensure our couples experience the best the location has to offer.
In 2021 we added a luxurious bed and breakfast apartment next to the farm. Named after our golden feathered friends, The Pheasantry is available as a honeymoon suite for our wedding couples.
Venue Amenities
Sheltered beneath our high-quality marquee linings, you’ll find everything you need: an elegant bar, a stage for heartfelt speeches, and a dance floor that beckons joyous revelry, whatever the weather outside.

Our wedding couples couldn’t find a better place to begin their married life than The Pheasantry, our luxury bed and breakfast apartment.
When the time arrives for carriages to transport your guests, wedding parties usually opt to stay at their choice of local guest houses or hotels. We can supply details of our current favourite accommodation ideas. Or, for an alternative, glamping on our land can also be arranged with a local supplier.
Local Suppliers
Whilst couples are free to use their favourite suppliers, we love to support local businesses. If you need any recommendations, we can supply details of local florists, caterers and a host of other wedding companies and suppliers. We don’t add commission for any supplier and we don’t charge a corkage fee for table wine.
