A One-of-a-Kind Thatched Barn
At the heart of The Woodyard is a restored 18th-century thatched barn, a space that effortlessly combines rustic charm with luxury design. The barn’s high-beamed ceilings, soft lighting, and original brickwork create a romantic, atmospheric setting for both ceremonies and receptions.
Whether you're planning a cosy winter wedding lit by candlelight or a summer celebration with the barn doors flung open to the terrace and gardens, The Woodyard adapts beautifully to your vision.
Space to Celebrate, Your Way
The barn opens out onto landscaped lawns and a beautiful lakeside, giving you the flexibility to host part of your day outdoors, including outdoor ceremonies by the jetty. The adjacent Mulberry Room adds an elegant indoor space ideal for the wedding breakfast.
The entire venue is yours exclusively for three days, meaning you can take your time with no rush to set up the day before. The magical thing with Worstead Estate is that you can host your wedding and have your guests stay onsite, for added convenience throughout the weekend and providing you with some downtime for after the wedding, surrounded by the people who matter most.
Outdoor Ceremonies Surrounded by Nature
One of The Woodyard’s standout features is the option for outdoor ceremonies. Exchange vows lakeside at the jetty, under ancient trees, or in the peaceful Walled Garden. With the birds singing and a Norfolk breeze in the air, it's a magical backdrop for “I do.”
And if the weather turns? The Thatched Barn offers a stunning indoor alternative without compromise.
Stay Onsite in Style
Worstead Estate offers luxury accommodation for up to 27 guests in beautifully restored cottages just a short walk or drive from the venue. Think king-size beds, designer interiors, and private hot tubs, all nestled in the tranquillity of the estate.
You and your guests can settle in for the weekend, making memories that extend far beyond the wedding day itself.
