Time to party

After your wedding breakfast and reception drinks, Kingshill Barn transforms and the evening bar opens. Cut the cake, have your first dance, and let the DJ or band start the party! There are no sound limiters, so amp up the music and sing and dance with your guests, or catch breath in the magical late-night air of the courtyard. With breath-taking views across miles of un-spoilt landscape party the night away with the moonlight shining off the lakes beyond. And when the music stops, come together around the no curfew fire pit.
