Cripps Barn Hire


Capacity

Cripps has one very large room with flagstone floors, a huge open fireplace and wooden beams. The marquee site is alongside the barn with access through the barn’s large double doors.

For Civil Weddings our maximum capacity is 180 - we are licensed for 120 in the barn itself and a further 60 can be seated in the marquee - see here.

For eating the barn will accommodate 10 round tables, each of which seats 10 people, or 11 at a squash (not really recommended), giving a capacity of 100-110. Most parties of over 60 people (and almost all weddings) need a marquee to provide circulation space and room for the bar. With parties over 100, you can eat in the marquee and use the barn as the dancing area. See table layouts.

The barn holds 150-200 standing up, which again can be increased to larger numbers with a marquee.

Marquees should be be booked through Cripps Catering. Please note that there may be a marquee in place for other events even if you haven't booked one, but it will not be accessible.
