Suffolk Barn at Hawstead Place
The Suffolk Barn sits in a unique position on a southern slope within the ancient parkland of Hawstead Place just 2 miles south of Bury St Edmunds. The barn retains all the original character from its past and is available to use for wedding receptions and civil ceremonies, parties and all types of business and private events.
The barn has a huge timber frame and is traditionally clad. It has a unique setting with large threshing doors opening South and East onto historic parkland with stunning views, adjoining the parkland are ancient fishponds, a moat and additional historic features.
Suffolk Barn dates back to 1423 and was constructed in its day as a courtyard in front of one of the county’s grandest houses.
The entrance and drive way is lined with an avenue of lime trees and opens out into ancient parkland populated with the three largest oriental plane trees in England, planted by Elizabeth I in August 1578.
Many many thanks for a wonderful day! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and having you on hand to advise on the various finer details was so valuable.
Many thanks – we both keep saying how it was the best day of our lives!
