Childerley is a private event and wedding venue set in the glorious Cambridgeshire countryside, situated just 15 minutes west of Cambridge. Dating back to the 19th century, the Childerley Long Barn is a hugely popular venue for weddings and other celebrations, providing a stunning backdrop suitable for any occasion.
Childerley’s Long Barn is so-called as it is thought to be one of the longest barns of its type in the country. The barn accommodates between 60 and 180 guests inside, with even more room beyond in Childerley’s magnificent gardens. The renovation of the Long Barn has retained the building’s rustic charm and beauty, but this is still a thoroughly well-equipped venue. It’s also extremely flexible, and hosts everything from dinner parties to wedding banquets and private birthdays.
Although the barn often hosts large-scale events, it also works for smaller bespoke celebrations as it can easily be set up in multiple formats. The barn also opens up onto an adjoining courtyard equipped with garden games, making this ideal for parties and events where you require indoor and outdoor space. There is also the option to hire Childerley Hall’s gardens separately for parties, receptions and photos.
Childerley Hall itself has lots to talk about too - the four acres of gardens include beautiful lawns, a serene lake and even a restored Jacobean chapel, all of which make fantastic backdrops for photography. This is still a family-run venue, and the small events team are incredibly experienced when it comes to delivering events of all shapes and sizes. They’re also on hand to help with recommendations of suppliers, whether for food and drink, entertainment, flowers, photographers and more.
