A barn with charm
Imagine saying “I do” under the exposed wooden beams of a lovingly renovated 19th-century barn.
This amazing rural wedding venue can be exclusively yours to eat, drink and be merry with your loved ones, surrounded by Instagram-worthy backdrops that will make your photographer swoon.
Originally built in 1889, The Hall Barns is part of the Prestwold Estate in Leicestershire, and is tucked away in its own secluded spot.
This versatile venue is ideal for civil ceremonies, wedding lunchs and receptions, with room for up to 70 wedding guests or 150 partygoers.
Lovingly restored
The Barn was built in 1889 by Sir Hussey Packe and was originally used as a model farm.
The Barn sat in ruins until 2011 when Edward Packe-Drury-Lowe, the current owner of the Prestwold Estate and great-grandson of Sir Hussey Packe, began our renovation journey. This restoration job focused on rebuilding the walls and roof, but we took it a step further in 2021, turning the Barn into an amazing event venue.
We’ve stayed true to the building’s unique history while creating this modern celebration space. The new additions include showers for our campers and glampers, and heating to keep our guests toasty.
Every bit of The Hall Barns has been designed to ensure that our VIPs can celebrate in style and comfort in this one-of-a-kind setting.
