Wedding Guests
We want to make sure you all have the best experience when you visit our family farm. We often get asked questions so we thought it may be helpful if we wrote down some of the most common questions asked so that you can then help answer their questions.
Do you Take cash?
Unfortunately, we do not accept cash, and can only take card payments at our Bars.
Do I need outdoor footwear and clothing?
There is no need for you to bring wellies to the farm as there are no muddy areas. The Barn holds its original charm, which means the floor can be uneven in places, so you may want to bring a change of shoes for dancing later on.
The farm is located 800 feet above sea level and while we enjoy amazing views, it can be windy at times. Probably best to bring something like a cardigan or wrap for any potentially chilly evenings.
Can we use confetti?
We love confetti but we’d appreciate it if you could only use the dried petal variety (other types of confetti leave a residue) and only throw it outside.
Travelling Home..
Are there any local taxi firms?
We have a good selection of local taxis that can be booked on the day of the wedding, but it is also a good idea to book your own local taxi/minibus with a return trip (hotel to barn/barn to home etc).
Continue to scroll for Taxi numbers..
Unless special arrangements are made by the wedding couple, all our weddings finish at 1 am for carriages.
Directions..
Located within 5 miles of junction 5 of the M65, close to feeder routes for the M61, M55, M60, and M6, we have plenty of on-site parking.
For a greener option, why not travel to Manchester Victoria, board the Clitheroe train and in approximately 27 minutes you will arrive at Bromley Cross station where a taxi to the farm will cost you no more than £10. There are also similar direct trains from Blackburn Station.
Accommodation..
The Wellbeing Farm is surrounded by over 350 rooms to stay in a 10-mile radius.
We were granted B Corp status due to our support within the local community. By not providing all our accommodation on site, we are supporting the local community – bringing guests to the local area. Those guests use the local accommodation, pubs, shops, taxis etc…
So we can accommodate all your wedding guests. If you use the local accommodation, you can leave your car at the farm overnight where it will be safe and secure.
Dietary Requirements and Food Allergies?
We will have asked the hirer if any of their guests have any dietary requirements or food allergies and we will have prepared special dishes to take account of this.
If you do have any food allergies it is worth reminding the staff of this.
Personal Belongings..
If we find any personal belongings, we keep them safe at the barn and usually give them to the wedding couple the following day for safe-keeping. If you have lost anything, please contact us on 01204 852113 or contact the wedding couple direct.
We have coat hooks and lockers are provided in the barn for valuables.
Noise and Live Music..
We love dancing and a great party and nearly all our functions have either DJs or live music. Although we are a farm with acres of land, we have nearby farms and need to consider the impact of noise levels on our neighbours. Local Licensing Policies only allow music to be played at certain levels in the countryside, so if the music is too loud, we will politely ask for it to be turned down.
We do not tolerate guests bringing their own alcohol to our venue nor do we tolerate any drugs. We are fully licensed and anyone bringing alcohol onto the premises (including the car park) will be asked to hand in their alcohol and may even be asked to leave the farm. Similarly, if you bring drugs to our family farm, they will be confiscated and the police will be informed. We may even have to stop the wedding evening celebrations so please don’t be selfish and ruin the couple’s special day.
