FAQ’s

  • What furniture do we need to sort ourselves?

    We have benches, a bar unit, outdoor festoon lighting and some comfortable outdoor seating. Therefore you shoudl consider the following in your budget:

    • Tables & Chairs

    • Special lighting (Fairy lights etc)

    • Additional tables (cake etc)

  • Is the barn heated?

    Nope. We have tried to plug the drafts but at this stage there is no heating apart from small ones for those struggling. The Undercroft heats easily with the small heaters we have but the barn is difficult to keep warm.

    We recommend a space heater from one of our event hire companies if you are concerned but this is best for taking the edge off just before people move to that space.

  • Are you licensed for weddings?

    Yes! You need to head to the Cumbria Registrars to find a slot though:

  • Can we have additional days or nights?

    Yes, we can hire out the Undercroft and Sheep Yard for the Sunday night if you need space, just ask about prices.

    For the hotel, contact them direct.

  • What do our Caterers have?

    They have a space which is undercover with power and water (hot and cold). There is also a large table and side unit.

    Depending on your menu and their needs, you might require ovens, fryers, fridge unit or more tables.

    Best thing is to get them to come and view the site before quoting. They can just contact us direct to organise that.
