Jenny & Will's Outdoor Ceremony

Jenny & Will's Outdoor Ceremony

This wonderful pair tied the knot in our beautiful meadows, with the unique back drop of the Kirkstead Abbey Ruins on a Saturday in August.

With both J & W having an equestrian background, a day based around being outdoors was perfect for them and luckily the Great British Weather was on their side.

Rebecca & George's Church Wedding

Rebecca & George's Church Wedding

With their love of the English Countryside holding their wedding service at our on-site 13th Century Church, St Leonard's, Kirkstead, was the perfect backdrop for Rebecca & George.

R & G started married life with a beautiful walk through the woodland walk and across the grounds back to the venue, with Rufus the very handsome Vizla included too!

Faye & Nick's Autumn Wedding

Faye & Nick's Autumn Wedding

This October wedding was a truly wonderful family gathering of old and young and identical twins - The Groom and the Bestman (which did cause some double takes during the day)!

One of the very first couples to marry on site in the renovated Old Granary Barn, styled by Ruby and Co with a theme of abundant Autumnal colours which beautifully complimented the buildings' original stone and brick.

Bethan & Ashley's Christmas Wedding

Bethan & Ashley's Christmas Wedding

Just 3 days before Christmas, Bethan & Ashley got married with family & friends in the most beautiful wedding ceremony held in the Old Granary Barn. The celebrations started immediately afterwards with mulled wine in front of the log burner and some delicious canapes.

When Matt & Sarah brought Australia to Lincolnshire

When Matt & Sarah brought Australia to Lincolnshire

Planning a Wedding from the other side of the world is no easy task! And then throw in giving birth to their beautiful son, Finley, only a few months prior to make things more interesting!

With half of their guests making the long journey from down under, we were delighted that it was the perfect July day for their planned Outdoor Ceremony, in front of a beautiful floral arch overlooking the Kirkstead Abbey Ruin.

Sian & Tom's Oak Barn Ceremony

Sian & Tom's Oak Barn Ceremony

Having been together since they were just 16(!), Sian & Tom always wanted a big celebration with all of their family & friends. With 90 day guests, the couple chose to make use of the space by having their ceremony in the Oak Barn, with the large Wooden double doors as their rustic backdrop.

Things to do

Things to do

Abbey Farm is very close to Woodhall Spa, renowned for being the home of England Golf and it's rich aviation heritage. With RAF Coningsby on our doorstep, the Spitfire, Dakota and Lancaster are often seen flying over Abbey Farm. The Petwood Hotel was the home of the Officers' Mess for the infamous Dambusters and the 617 Squadron.

Jubilee Park offers one of the country's only outdoor swimming pools as well as a gym, tennis, cricket and games areas. A trip to the Kinema in the Woods is a must if you have the time to spare.

Other Info

Other Info

If you are walking from Abbey Farm to the Church or to one of our outdoor ceremony locations, we suggest you bring some shoes suitable for walking on grass and uneven pathways.

Please do not bring your own confetti with you as only our own confetti is allowed here, as already agreed with the couple.

If your baby or toddler requires a highchair, please be advised that we do not have any on-site and you will therefore need to bring one with you.
