Stock Farm Barn

Stock Farm Barn: an exclusive-use Cheshire wedding venue

Stock Farm Barn is on the Tatton Estate at Ashley, within reach of Altrincham, Knutsford and Manchester. Its restored barns, courtyard and countryside surroundings allow a wedding to move between indoor and outdoor spaces without changing venue. The property is offered on an exclusive-use basis, with an events team helping couples arrange the day around their chosen format.

Barns, ceremonies and reception areas

The Main Barn is the principal wedding breakfast and evening reception space, with exposed structural character and decorative lighting. The smaller Stables Barn provides a more intimate setting for drinks or a quieter part of the day. The courtyard adds an outdoor gathering area, while the garden can be used for outdoor ceremonies. There is also a licensed indoor ceremony space.

The venue advertises celebrations for up to 300 guests. This is an overall figure, not a guarantee for every seated arrangement, so confirm the capacity of your chosen ceremony and dining layouts. During a viewing, consider how guests will move between the barns, where refreshments will be served and which indoor option will be used if the weather changes.

Getting ready and staying overnight

Two preparation spaces are described in the venue’s wedding information. The Dressing Room is intended for hair, make-up and dressing, while The Hideout includes a walk-in shower and a more informal place to prepare. Their availability and access times should be included in the final schedule.

Stock Farm House sleeps up to 14 guests in six bedrooms, and Birkin Farm House sleeps up to 10 in four bedrooms. The venue also offers an on-site honeymoon suite with a private en-suite. Confirm which accommodation forms part of your selected package, the stay duration and the allocation of bedrooms before making arrangements for family and friends.

Food, suppliers and practical arrangements

Wedding packages and supplier options should be discussed directly with the team. Ask for a written breakdown of catering, drinks, furniture, staffing and setup access so the different elements of the reception are clear. The same conversation can cover dietary needs, entertainment, decoration and any requirements for guests with reduced mobility.

The address is Stock Farm, Ashley Road, Ashley, Cheshire WA14 3QF. Parking and electric-vehicle charging are advertised on site, and Ashley railway station is nearby.
