Where it all began

Northside Farm is a former dairy farm and cherished family-owned estate that has been ours for generations.

We are Olivia and Ralph Lockey. We decided to adapt and create our farm into a unique wedding venue after deciding to marry here ourselves in 2016.

Starting life as a glamping site on our working farm, guest began requesting to use the land for wedding marquees to be pitched, with guests staying in the wigwams. They loved the laid-back nature of three-day exclusive use, as well as being able to take advantage of a ‘no restrictions’ policy, enjoying things like fireworks and including their pets on their special day

– little details they wanted but found were not allowed elsewhere.

This began a wave of enquiries, so we decided to look into creating a permanent fixture, as an independent business. Little by little, we grew our offering, building a courtyard complete with stylish flagstones, an outdoor fireplace and a covered, fairy-lit terrace area onto the side of the barn, and in 2019, converted our gin gang into a dedicated ceremony room complete with its own bridal dressing room

Today, Northside Farm stands as an all-weather venue – licensed for all civil ceremonies inside or outside.

Our spacious, manicured lawns with rolling countryside as its backdrop, are perfect for summer weddings or for garden games and the fully heated barn is perfect for a celebration in style with its quirky bar area adjoining to the floor-to-ceiling glass front windows. Perfect to enjoy the views wherever you are.

Or you could enjoy a mix of all – it is your wedding after all!
