Weddings and Wellies - Information and ideas
We are located in the village of Norristhorpe in West Yorkshire, close enough to civilisation - but tucked away, unseen from the road in our own little oasis. The village is a 30 minute drive from the centre of Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Halifax, a 10 minute drive from Junction 25 (M62) and 20 minutes from Junction 40 (M1).
Settings
Surrounded by lush green pasture and panoramic views, the farm is perfect for a marquee style wedding-the best location being our “clover” field. Easily reached from the lane and our recommended car park, the south and westward views provide spectacularly romantic sunsets.
Here you may opt for:-
Traditional Marquee
Perfect for a traditional english wedding party. We can accommodate all sizes of marquees and can arrange this on your behalf or will allow you to bring your own.
Kata
The Scandanavian Kata is now a huge success for all types of events in the UK, but is particularly fabulous for weddings. With our backdrop, the Kata offers you a truly magical theme. Perfect to wow your guests and create an enchanted wedding.
Barn
If you want to maximise on a rustic wedding, then one of our farm buildings is a must. White washed or decorated with a fabric liner, this style lends itself perfectly to a more relaxed party such as a hog roast or barbeque.

BBQ
We’re expert barbequers!...and will put on whatever you choose-from traditional stuff like steaks and burgers to leg of lamb, whole salmon or garlic prawns. We’ll accompany with a selection of fresh salads, roast potatoes and desserts of your choice
Childrens choices
We want your celebrations to go without a hitch and if you have tots or choosy children, we’ll accommodate them! We’ve found that what works well is a little individual picnic basket full of goodies. We recommend a trio of sandwiches (such as ham, jam and cheese), a packet of simple kettle chips, a small bunch of grapes, a chocolate brownie and a yoghurt. We’ll even put in a few extras like a puzzle book, a jigsaw or some bubbles – (depending on ages)
Drink and bar options
Whichever setting you choose, we’ll be glad to organise a bar tailored to suit your requirements. We also recommend a drinks package in conjunction with your choice of menu:-
Reception Drinks (served as you and your guests arrive) to include options like champagne cocktails, sparkilng wine and non alcoholic fruit punch.
At your table to include wine and water as required. All tailored to suit your individual requirements.
Bar. We will organise a bar with a wide range of favourite beverages.
