The headline here is time. Crockwell gives you exclusive use over three days, not just the one.
The setting
The farm sits among about 400 acres of wildflowers and grasses, with established gardens that the venue says are at their best from early June to October. Dogs are welcome too, which matters more to some couples than any amount of chandeliers.
Three days changes the whole shape of a wedding. You can set up at your own pace the day before, have the wedding, then do a relaxed get-together the morning after with whoever's stayed. It feels more like a family weekend than a single event. The venue has been offering late availability on some 2027 dates, so check their availability page if you're planning for next year.
Spaces through the day
Outdoor ceremonies can happen in the Orchard Pavilion, and there's the Starlit Marquee for ceremonies and the wedding breakfast. Drinks go out on the farmhouse lawns. Then you've got a rustic bar, an indoor bar with a fireplace for cooler evenings, and the Breakfast Room. Registrar-led and celebrant-led ceremonies are both mentioned on the site.
There are eleven bedrooms across the farmhouse and cottages for close family and friends for two nights, with breakfast provided. The farmhouse kitchen can be used for self-catering too.
Entertainment ideas
Three days together means there's room for more than one bit of entertainment. A wedding magician on the lawns while photos are done. And on the night before, when everyone's arrived and you've got a houseful? A fun casino table by the fireplace bar is a brilliant way to get two families mixing. If there are little ones about, think about a children's entertainer too.
Tip: pick something different for each day so the regulars staying over don't see the same thing twice.
