Our restored 16th century cider barn  is the perfect focus for an event or retreat. It has excellent acoustics which means it can be peaceful for yoga and meditation but bring to life music and song.

Above the barn is the walnut grove and below when you open up the big threshing doors you have the country view down the meadow to the woods. The interior of the cider barn is complete with the original cider press and  the roof has huge exposed oak beams and rafters with the roof apex sitting a full 23 feet above you – giving a great sense of space. Underfloor heating makes sure that your event will be cosy for floor based activities such as yoga.

At one end of this 70 square meter  venue the big old restored (& working) cider press stands over the proceedings. The barn and the surrounding grounds are perfect for all kinds of activities.
