Wakes

Our dedicated, friendly and professional team is experienced in taking the stress out of funeral receptions and wakes. We are with you all the way from planning the occasion to the reception itself until close and we’re ready to offer our guidance and support in any way we can.

We're here to make sure organising a wake or memorial to celebrate the life of a loved one is as easy as possible. With a selection of flexible function spaces and menus available we have a highly experienced and discreet events team on hand. Ideally situated only 1 mile from Bierton Crematorium, The Barn is a beautiful venue to share memories and gather in celebration of life.

Wakes offer the opportunity to celebrate the life of somebody who has recently passed away and are every bit as important as mourning their death. At our venue we can help to organise warm, respectufl funeral receptions where friends and family can come together to express their condolences, share memories and raise a glass to the deceased. Our friendly teams are on hand to arrange catering and any special touches you may wish to add for the day.

The main barn can be used for a minimum of 30 people up to 70 people (50 people seated + 20 people standing). For more than 70 people a heated marquee extension will be required (£300 additional charge) with table and chairs for up to 150 people. We have also a separate buffet room.

Please note: the minimum we cater for is 30 people.

We have a fully stocked licensed bar where we offer alcoholic, non alcoholic and hot drinks.

The Barn is available Monday to Friday any time of day. The date is secured once the deposit has been paid.
