Our Story

A Family-Run Venue With A Whole Lot of Heart

Stratton Court Barn is a family-owned exclusive use wedding venue, situated at Pool Farm, the house and farm that captured Wigmore family’s hearts nearly 30 years ago. This is where they’ve raised their children and run their event business since, and it’s still their home and passion all these years later.

We’re a very close-knit team here and work seamlessly together to make sure your wedding is the best it can be. Everyone plays a part in creating an unforgettable experience at Stratton Court Barn.

Stratton Court Barn - A short history

How it started

1872

The barn was built, housing equipment and sheep at Pool Farm

1996

Chris and Cathy bought Pool Farm, and the barn is still used as tractor storage and equipment.

2000

The Main Barn was converted to be used as a corporate meeting space, loos were built, and what is now the bar area was turned into a club house

2014

Having seen the potential of the barns and grounds as a place to host celebrations, ‘Stratton Court Barn’ is launched. The club house is turned into the Bar Area, with a new roof, new bar, new floor, reinforced beams, painted ceiling and a new grey, glass and stone contemporary look.

2015

The Main Entrance is renovated, décor completed, and Cathy’s amazing antique finds added.

2017

The bar was extended with a back-of-house area. The Hayloft wedding preparation room was built, along with the stables being fully converted to a lounge space, complete with glass wall. The Stables room was officially born!

2018

The courtyard was given a real make-over with brick pavers, a patio area, an L-shaped oak gazebo and huge parasols.

2019

The outdoor transformation continues and the old car park is turned into a rose garden.

How it is going

2020

The Main Barn and main entrance floors were changed to sandstone, adding more of a sense of contemporary warmth to the space.

2020

The Lake was constructed, bringing some waterside charm to the venue.

2021

The woodlands ceremony offering was added, with mature trees forming a natural aisle, and a beautiful hexagonal oak gazebo nestled in the centre, perfect for outdoor ceremonies.

2022

Granary Cottage, a two-bedroom cottage adjacent to the farmhouse, was converted for couples to be able to stay overnight.

2023

The outdoor stables terrace has seen the addition of a stunning pergola with seating area and festoon lighting.

2024

2024 saw a fabulous addition to Stratton Court Barn. The Byre has been transformed into a stunning space, with industrial chic designs, bifold doors onto the courtyard and a huge focal fireplace with wood burner.  The Byre can seat 130 for a ceremony and seated meal on round or long rustic tables.

We’re committed to continually evolving, and making each of our spaces the best that it can be for our couples. Everyone involved with Stratton Court Barn is passionate about this lovely place, and about giving you the best day of your life, and a ton of memories to cherish.
