Facilities and Capacity

Begin your wedding at High House in the Dressing Room, which has been elegantly furnished for you to make your preparations. This sun-lit, oak-framed space overlooks the swimming pool and is set with comfy sofas, dressing tables, and changing rooms. Once you are ready, you can tie the knot in the rustic Essex barn, which dates back to 1750 and seats 120, or underneath an outdoor thatched gazebo.

They include a heart-shaped lake, a pond with a Monet-esque bridge and a vineyard. Finally, wedding breakfasts and evening receptions can take place in the marquee. This impressive pavilion has views over the lake and can accommodate both informal barbecues and sophisticated multi-course meals.
