Discovering the Charm of Dairyhouse Farm: A Somerset Wedding Gem
Nestled on the edge of ancient woodlands overlooking the picturesque Somerset Levels lies a venue close to my heart: Dairyhouse Farm. Owned by the warm and welcoming duo, Aly and Nick, this barn has been transformed from a humble cow stall into a breathtaking setting for couples to celebrate their love.
A Journey Through Time
The Lockyer family has called Dairyhouse Farm in Bere, Aller, Langport home since 1922. Originally a bustling milking farm, the barn, constructed in 1948, retains its rustic charm, evident in its vintage touches and authentic ambiance. Aly and Nick's own wedding in August 2016 marked the barn's inaugural celebration, setting the stage for countless love stories to unfold within its historic walls.
The Heart of the Venue: The Barn
Stepping into the spacious barn, you're greeted by an atmosphere that's both grand and intimate. With the capacity to comfortably seat 150 guests for a formal meal or accommodate up to 200 for a buffet-style reception, the barn offers versatility for various wedding styles. The handcrafted rustic bar, stocked with a selection of local beers, ciders, and wines, invites guests to relax and enjoy the festivities. Adjacent to the bar, a cozy lounge area with plush seating provides the perfect nook for conversations and respite from dancing.
Outdoor Elegance: The Dutch Barn and Orchard Garden
The charm of Dairyhouse Farm extends beyond the main barn. The Dutch Barn, located at the front of the property, offers an open-air space ideal for civil ceremonies, evening hog roasts, or roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. The backdrop of stunning sunsets over the Somerset Levels makes for unforgettable photo opportunities.
The orchard garden, adorned with apple, pear, and plum trees, creates a serene setting for welcome drinks and mingling. Hay bale seating beneath the trees adds a rustic touch, while the open space is perfect for lawn games, keeping guests of all ages entertained.
