Open Days & Wedding Fairs

Take a little time out to come and see us on our little island, tucked away in the rolling landscapes of South Elmham. And feel things for yourself. 

About Bateman’s Barn Wedding Fairs 

Bateman's Barn wedding fairs are really special occasions.
We've held a number of very successful daytime wedding fairs and also evening wedding fairs where we share what's on offer to entertain your guests after dark with a chance to enjoy a relaxed evening party atmosphere at Bateman’s Barn island wedding venue.

At our second Waveney Wedding Collective Wedding Fair, we showcased a wide range of lovely Suffolk and Norfolk suppliers from Bungay and beyond. But as well as a selection of respected local businesses like photographers, evening caterers and florists who can provide those wedding essentials, there’ were little companies with temptingly curious and more quirky offerings to make your wedding all the more individual too.

At Bateman’s Barn, we’d like your wedding to be about you having fun, dreaming big – a real celebration of who you are as a couple, with everything all together just the way you want it to be.

We look forward to meeting you, to introducing you to our trusted suppliers and showing you round our unique historic wedding venue.

Give us a ring(-ring) 

Whether you fancy popping along to one of our open events in May or September, or coming to visit for an exclusive show around to discuss your wedding dreams and ideas, do feel free to just give us a call.

We'd be delighted to hear from you and will look forward to welcoming you back again and again with selected family, friends, photographers, florists, caterers etc if you feel the need as your wedding day at Bateman's Barn approaches.
