Unrushed Countryside wedding
Battleswick Farm is a licensed barn wedding venue in Essex that offers couples an unrushed countryside weekend.
Set on a 500‑year‑old farm just minutes from Colchester, our family‑run venue gives you exclusive use across three days. Exchange vows beneath our 200‑year‑old chestnut tree or inside the historic Threshing Barn and Haybarn, then celebrate with a rustic barn reception or a farm wedding on our field of over 2 acres.
With upcoming double en‑suite rooms, a honeymoon suite and spa, we’re evolving into a wedding venue with accommodation while still providing the freedom to design your own exclusive use countryside wedding. Whether you dream of a historic barn wedding, a rustic farm wedding or an extended weekend of celebrations, Battleswick Farm is the perfect setting for a bespoke wedding in Essex.
Coming soon!
Indulge in a world of exciting plans that will unfold over the next few years. From mid‑2026 our converted stables will transform into a flexible pop‑up events space. This space will host artisan events, intimate supper clubs and exclusive use events that complement our barn wedding venue and showcase the rustic countryside charm of Essex.
The suntrap courtyard will add to the charm, where you can soak the rays from sunrise to sunset! In 2027 we will unveil a collection of double bedrooms with en‑suite bathrooms. These rooms will be beautiful, spacious and comfortable, providing on‑site accommodation for couples and guests. Family rooms will follow soon afterwards for those who wish to extend their stay.
To complete the restoration of Battleswick Farm, we will open a luxurious honeymoon suite connected to The Salon along with a tranquil spa. The suite will blend luxury and comfort, offering south‑facing light, a make‑up station, bar and lounge area.
The spa will feature a sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and treatment rooms, giving you the perfect place to unwind before or after your wedding day and ensuring that our exclusive use wedding venue offers everything you need for a truly bespoke countryside wedding.
