Frequently Asked Questions
As we've always set out to be clear, upfront and transparent during our couple's whole planning process from day one, on this page we've outlined everything you'll need to know regarding the cans & cant's, so there's no surprises later down the line.
​
​
How many guests can we have?
Our tipi's can accommodate 120 seated guests. Additional evening guests are of course very welcome.
​
When can we arrive on site and what are the finishing times?
​
You'll have site access the day before from 10am.
​
If you require early morning access on the day for any finishing touches you can do so from 9am, we will be on site first thing to meet with your suppliers if needed.
The party will be finished by midnight. You and your guests will have vacated the farm by 12.30am.
​
The day after you’ll be able to collect any personal belongings/decorations etc. between 9am and 12pm. Your guests will be required to collect their vehicles from our car park by 12 noon.
​
Can we bring dogs?
​
We're a dog friendly venue but as we are a working farm we can't have dogs roaming around the site off lead. However, there are dog-minders that can look after your pup at our venue for part of the day, or you could have someone bring your pooch just for the ceremony and photos etc.​​
​
Your guests will not be allowed to bring their own dogs on any day.
​
Can we stay overnight at Belcote Farm?
​
Onsite camping and camper/caravans are not permitted, however there are many nearby hotels and holiday homes within a few miles of the farm. Take a look at our suggestions here.
​
Can I reserve a date if it's available, even without having looked around the venue first?
​
Before you can reserve any available date, we'd have had to have met you in person, shown you around the site and made sure your wedding day plans and ideas would work well at our venue.
As we receive hundreds of enquiries but only hold a limited number of wedding events each year, we can only offer the use of our venue to selected couples.
​
Once we have agreed on a date, how do we pay?
​
A £2000 deposit/booking fee is needed to reserve your date, this is taken off the venue hire fee.
The remaining balance must be paid at least two months prior to your date.
A £750 refundable security deposit must also be paid with the remaining balance, this will be returned within 7 days after the event date.
​
If you have any other questions, please get in touch!
​
Belcote Farm is our family home so please bear in mind that our farmland is also private property with access gained by invitation only.
