A COUNTRYSIDE barn on the Herefordshire and Worcestershire county border has featured on a new list of the top 10 most popular wedding venues in the UK for 2022.

Bredenbury Court Barns, near Bromyard in Herefordshire, has been included on the roll of honour compiled by Hitched, one of the UK’s leading wedding planning services.

Hitched reviewed its web activity over the past 12 months and named Bredenbury Court Barns as the second most popular venue in the UK.

Bredenbury Court Barns is a 29-acre country estate, set on the grounds of a manor house dating back to 1726.

Despite only opening as a wedding venue in June 2019, it has already secured a host of awards and accolades.

Simon Steel, Bredenbury Court Barns’ co-owner and managing director, said: “We are over the moon to be named as one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the country.

"The venue’s stunning location and the flexibility we offer has proved to be a winning formula and it is a testament to our wonderful couples, their guests, lovely reviews and our down-to-earth, professional wedding team behind it all too.”

The boasts views across three counties, including the Malvern Hills and on clearer days the Cheltenham hills.

Elisa Clark, Head of Housekeeping, said: "When we serve breakfast to couples and their wedding guests the following morning, guests consistently say what a great celebration and what fun they had at the Barns.

“The venue continues to go from strength to strength as more and more people discover the Barns, graced with incredible views and a connection with the surrounding countryside.”

The wedding venue was originally gifted as a wedding present in the 1800s, later operating as a school until 2016 when St Richard’s School closed.

Bredenbury Court Barns also featured in the list of the UK’s Most Popular Venues last year, as compiled by Hitched.
