Table service from our well stocked bar is also provided to keep the drinks flowing. As your meal comes to a close our live music will start entertaining you and your guests ready to pull you onto the dance floor.
The barns really start to rock at approximately 8.30pm when the lights are lowered and the DJ takes over. As in previous years, we will also be opening the Heritage barn after the meal for you to enjoy and have some fun in our Photobooth. The bar is open in here until 12.30am so you don’t need to wander too far from the fun!
