Would you say “I do” in an oak framed wedding venue?

If you dream of getting married in the countryside, welcome to Brinsop Court – a wedding venue in Herefordshire, and home to a magical oak framed barn…

Many of our clients frame their forever homes with oak...

And while their designs naturally vary, it’s the structural stability and longevity the frame vows to provide, united with the intrinsic beauty, characteristics, and versatility of oak that they fall in love with and choose as the foundations to shape their future homes around. These ‘forever’, unwavering qualities of oak are at the heart of all our bespoke oak framed buildings, including the wedding venues we’ve had the pleasure of designing and constructing over the years. Whether couples envisage a wedding barn blooming with in-season flowers or have their hearts set on a particularly personal theme for their special days, oak’s natural warmth and honey-coloured hues offer a wonderful blank canvas to dress and let creativities run free.

Are you currently planning your wedding?

Perhaps have your sights set on a countryside setting?

Well, without further ado, you’re cordially invited to open the doors to this oak framed “wedding wonderland”:

If you close your eyes and picture your perfect wedding venue, would a 14th-century manor house surrounded by a moat and 800 acres of farmland (featuring two cosy cottages and a fabulous oak framed wedding barn), be the icing on your wedding cake?

Welcome to Brinsop Court – a unique and award-winning event and wedding venue in Herefordshire, and more specifically to The Knot Barn residing there.

It’s history

When the owners of Brinsop Court, Martin and Pat, purchased the Estate in 2008, they knew the manor house required lots of love and care, and over the past 15 years, Pat and a few very devoted helpers transformed it into the magnificent home you can see here.

Pre-2020, Brinsop Court could comfortably accommodate 90 guests. However, many of the enquiries the venue was receiving were for larger celebrations.

So, Martin and Pat began considering their options and looked at an oak framed barn we had for sale, before quickly realising they could double their capacity from 90 to 180 guests and as a result, house many more happy ever afters!

It's wow factor

A delicately stoned pathway bordered by luscious green lawns guides you to The Knot Barn, which opened in 2020.

Positioned before woodland and rolling farmland, the setting seamlessly snuggles this oak framed wedding barn in Herefordshire into its private position, aided by the beautiful patina already gained by the external weatherboarding.

One of the first striking architectural design features you’ll be drawn to is the barn’s floor-to-ceiling windows that open along the whole front and offer an al fresco feel throughout the year.

Then, as you make your way inside, you’re greeted by the warmth of a light-filled atrium with oak towering above. Cleverly positioned opposite the entrance is the bar which enables drinks to be quickly served to guests as they arrive.

The posts of the bespoke aisle frame line up from left to right creating the stunning, elongated barn-style structure, and the full-length glazing shares the incredible views beyond.

The Knot Barn is connected by a handcrafted wooden boardwalk just a stroll from the manor house. Coupled with its enchanting pergolas, your journey to your wedding reception will be filled with love, light and laughter – as will the rest of your special day at Brinsop Court.

And now as we look ahead to the future, to those of you who may be planning your dream wedding the question we’d love to know your answer to is:
