The Barn at Alswick Wedding Hire

The Barn at Alswick is a corporate event, celebration and wedding venue in east Hertfordshire. It is a late 16th century barn forming part of the historic Alswick Hall Estate, which has been restored to become a contemporary event space for exclusive hire. The venue is capable of accomodating small groups of 14 delegates up to large numbers of 220 delegates for meetings, conferences and seminars. There is also an experienced team activity company onsite for team building events. The venue offers bespoke arrangements rather than wedding packages, and has a license for civil ceremonies.

We're proud to deliver event hire to The Barn at Alswick. Some of the items we can deliver include:

The Barn at Alswick hosts weddings ranging from intimate gatherings to large celebrations of up to 220 guests. To furnish this historic space, organisers typically hire cross-back chairs or wooden folding chairs that complement the 16th century timber frame. Rectangular trestle tables are commonly used for a rustic layout, while round tables work well for formal dining. We provide a full range of white cotton tablecloths, contemporary glassware, and durable cutlery sets to support the catering team during large banquet services in this Hertfordshire venue.

When planning your layout, consider the flow between the ceremony space and the dining area within the barn. For a capacity of 220 guests, verify that your floor plan accounts for sufficient aisle width and space for catering service staff to move around tables. If you are hosting a civil ceremony, you will need to arrange for seating to be transitioned to the dining area afterwards. Always confirm the exact dimensions of the floor space with the estate management to avoid overcrowding the room.
