The Great Barn

The Great Barn at Manor Farm offers event organisers a distinctive historic setting for weddings, ceremonies and private receptions in Ruislip, west London. Set within the Manor Farm Heritage Site, this Grade II listed timber-framed barn combines rural character, impressive proportions and a memorable sense of place for couples and their guests.

The venue is licensed for wedding ceremonies and can accommodate up to 150 guests for a ceremony, with reception layouts for as many as 200 people. Its long aisled interior, exposed oak structure, weatherboarded walls and refurbished stone floor provide an atmospheric backdrop for formal celebrations, wedding breakfasts, evening receptions and special occasions. Flexible seating arrangements allow organisers to shape the room around their chosen ceremony or reception format, including layouts with dining tables and space for dancing.

The Great Barn is offered as an exclusive venue, giving organisers scope to plan the day around their own suppliers, styling and programme. External caterers can use the Steward’s Room, which includes sinks and power for refrigeration equipment. Additional kitchen facilities are available in nearby buildings that may be hired separately. A bar can be arranged within the barn, subject to the venue’s licensing requirements, while built-in adjustable lighting and permitted decorative lighting help create the desired atmosphere.

The venue team supports viewings, date reservations and practical planning, including guidance on catering equipment, decorations, entertainment, seating and event timings. Music and entertainment are permitted within defined areas and hours, and all events must finish by 11pm. With its heritage architecture, adaptable layouts and dedicated ceremony offering, The Great Barn provides a characterful option for wedding planners and organisers seeking an unusual event venue near London.
