A Place of Wonderment

Take a look around..

Preston court is one of the most stylish and unique venues in the UK. We are a family owned and run venue, which is rare these days.  We welcome equality and inclusivity and embrace our LGBTQIA partners.  We encourage humanist and all forms of ceremony.

Set on a large eco- farm, Preston Court  is the perfect mix of traditional and quirky.  Quintessentially English lakes, formal gardens and a fun -filled barnyard;  filled with leafy plants, handmade vintage parasols, an elegant maypole draped with hundreds of tiny fairy lights and our stunning Victorian carousel…all creating the perfect backdrop for your celebration.  Come and explore.

Our mediterranean inspired barnyard is the perfect place to celebrate together; filled with tumbling plants and exotic dahlias, French style outdoor seating & an elegant maypole at the centre adorned with 1000 twinkly lights.

A picture-perfect spot for your ceremony in the heart of the formal gardens – make your entrance across the lawn and over the bridge, to the island on the lake.  Ceremony locations don’t get more romantic than this.

This space will WOW you.  Our 17th century oak frame barn not only has bags of rustic vintage charm but is also home to two, fully working mechanical organs that can play on your wedding day, thousands of twinkly lights AND a giant disco ball.  

St Mildred’s is an idyllic 13th Century Saxon Church, at Preston Court Farm, where you can choose to have your ceremony.  We love to hear the church bells ring.

We are very proud of our eco farm with 650 acres of unspoilt farmland, woodlands, lakes and extensive formal gardens.  We plant a tree in celebration of every wedding we host.

This space is cosy and full of eccentric charm…home to our fully stocked and staffed bar, a cozy seating area by the log fire and not forgetting our famous lavatories with their gorgeous clam shell sinks & trendy gold taps.

The Showmen of the 1800’s travelled the length and breath of the country with their carousels.  

Of course, every Showman needed somewhere to eat and sleep, so they spent their days in this glorious Wagon.  This is one of the most spectacular of its type,  adorned with ornately decorated mirrors, mahogany panelled doors and & hand painted walls and ceilings.

Our carousel dates back to the 1800’s and is a real head turner.

Adorned with twisted brass, vintage mirrors, hundreds of warm amber coloured fairground lights and of course dancing horses and carriages – it’s hard for anyone not to love the pure romance of the carousel.

The Mortier Organ is an Art Deco treasure.  

The Mortier organ can play at your wedding. It suits a range of upbeat jazzy songs, from our selection of custom-made music books – using its built-in saxophone and accordion, as well as hundreds of wooden ‘keys’ the organ produces an incredible sound, reminiscent of a traditional fairground.

A Video booth on steroids.  Often sentimental and always a bit damn silly.

Marc, our Videographer will be the host, he will invite small groups of your guests into Gigglebox, ask questions about the day & seek words of wisdom for the newlyweds.  The footage is carefully edited into a snappy and usually witty, video showreel, for a wonderful guest book alternative.

We all love food.  We are proud to work in partnership with some incredibly skilled chefs and event staff to create the perfect menu for your wedding day. Whether you want a formal 3 course dinner, a sharing banquet, high tea or a feast cooked over an open fire, we have all the options.

Anna’s father Michael began his love affair with steam, by driving around the world in a steam powered Lorry called ‘Britannia’. 

Britannia steamed out of Trafalgar Square in 1969 on her ‘Grand Global Tour, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles sitting next to him the cab.  It was quite a send off. Michael, Little Steve & Martin drove through Europe to India, Australia and back via north America.
