If you’re planning a big birthday, getaway for friends, office team building, fun day or weekend retreat and looking for a rural venue with a certain something, Stock Farm could be what you have been waiting for.

Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside on Tatton Estate, the site is comprised of three barns of varying sizes, a courtyard and garden, and the surrounding woodlands, fields and meadows. If hosting a large lunch or dinner, Stock Farm Barn can hold up to 400 guests and can be decorated to your taste. With a black, corrugated ceiling and rustic wooden walls, it can lean into a cooler, industrial aesthetic or amp up the countryside feel.

For a more intimate gathering, the Stables Barn can seat up to 30 peoples and has a sweet, historic feel with exposed brick walls and wooden beams. This area looks enchanting a night, lit up with fairy lights and candles. While the Swallows Barn is even more rustic with a distressed feel and even some hay bales, it makes for a cool spot to enjoy drinks and dancing with an outdoor musician.

Summertime events, however, might need no indoor space at all. If you’re hoping for sunny weather, hold your event in the central courtyard or the old farmhouse’s pretty garden. These areas are great for a drinks reception or outdoor catering, while a tipi or marquee could also be put up on one of the surrounding fields or meadows.

And, if you’re planning on staying the weekend, take over the two farmhouses which have 10 double bedrooms between them. That way, the fun doesn’t have to end! In terms of food, Stock Farm has a list of preferred suppliers which offer a wide variety of catering options. Think hog roasts, BBQ, fine dining, farm-to-table specialists and lots in between, and you are of course welcome to discuss any ideas you have with the team who are always on hand to help.

    As soon as we saw Stock Farm Barn, we knew it was where we wanted to get married and it didn't disappoint. We had the most amazing day - it was the perfect venue and Rach and the team helped ensured everything ran smoothly and to plan, both in the run-up and on the day. As well as the team, and the location, in comparison to some of the other venues we looked at the list of preferred caterers was also more extensive. We chose Luke Barnes and the food was fantastic. So many of our guests commented on what a fab venue it was. I'd definitely recommend it and wish we could re-live our day again! Luckily, our photographer Patta B Photography, captured the memories so we've got the photos to look back on and remind us of what a brilliant day it was.

    We got married at Stock Farm last week after booking early last year. The team were amazing from start to finish. We had our early viewings and contact with Rach and closer to the big day we spoke with Hannah, our event coordinator, before having a fab team of Hannah, Hannah, Steph and Harriet on the day itself. Everyone we dealt with was so professional, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The venue is absolutely beautiful and provides so many different options for how you can have your day. We loved that there are rooms for both bridal parties to get ready and places for people to stay. Options for catering are also fantastic and our wedding breakfast by the Flaming Gourmand was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. It ran so smoothly and the team helped ensure that our planning was a breeze too. I couldn’t recommend Stock Farm Barn more highly and wish we could do it all again!

    We held our wedding at Stock Farm in April 2024 and the whole experience was unbelievable. We were originally due to get married on 11th August 2023 but due to a bereavement we had to rearrange the date. We informed Stock farm on 10th August 2023 and Rachel went above and beyond helping us to sort out what was an extremely difficult time. Looking beyond that Rachel then did everything she could in the lead up to the new wedding date to make things as special as possible and we ended up having a truly magical day. We attended a lot of the wedding fairs and open days at Stock farm and this is how we found some of our suppliers. This was a huge plus as it meant we had a team of people who really knew the venue and could help make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. The day itself went off without a hitch thanks to the calm and collected Hannah (&the rest of the team). We really felt like the venue and staff were a part of our big day as we had spent so much time with them and they had given us so much input into the day so everything felt really natural and relaxed. Overall I think this is the best venue you could ask for they handle everything with such pride and professionalism but also just an unmatched level of care.

    From the moment me and my (now) husband saw Stocks Farm Barn we fell in love with the venue. We booked 2 years in advance and from the start the venue were amazing. The whole team were so attentive. All emails/calls were responded to quickly and all queries were answered. Nothing was too much. Rachel put me at ease whenever we spoke we and helped when I worried I missed anything and reassured me. The day before the wedding I dropped off some bits and the staff on site were fantastic they made sure they knew what I was dropping off and what was required. The day of the wedding the whole team were amazing and attentive to everything. They were on hand but not overbearing and made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue was amazing and the houses for our family to stay in meant we could all have breakfast the next day. The venue is accessible which was perfect. It had ample parking. The whole grounds are stunning I cannot recommend the venue enough

    Our big day was perfect from start to finish, without a doubt we had the best day of our lives at this beautiful venue! I can’t thank the Tatton Wedding’s staff enough for making sure the day ran as smoothly as possible, they did an excellent job and I was so pleased with the level of communication during the preparation and in the run up to the day, they were always extremely professional and I had full confidence that everything was under control. Thank you again for looking after us and our guests on our important day! I would definitely recommend this venue for any special event Xx
