Wasing Park

Berkshire, United Kingdom

Exclusive-use barn venue in a restored farm hamlet · Aldermaston, Berkshire

No. 420 · Autumn 2026

Welcome

Ceremonies in three settings

A Berkshire farm hamlet taken for exclusive use, where a parish church, a grade II listed barn and 26 bedrooms stand together on one estate.

Couples choose from three ceremony spaces. The Parish Church of St Nicholas is on site for traditional ceremonies. The Garden Room is a glass-walled indoor setting, with rustic beams, aged brickwork and glass bi-fold walls that bring the outdoors in. The Victorian Summerhouse is the choice for outdoor weddings, and it carries a delicate hand painted mural.

We have been to many weddings, 9 last year, and we have never heard anyone rave about wedding food like they did on our day. The food was outstanding. The presentation blew people away and we have not stopped hearing about how good it was.Two Michelin-starred head chef

Receptions

Celebrations in Castle Barn

Castle Barn is the reception and party space, seating up to 140 guests for dinner, with acoustics made for dancing. It offers fine dining, or the more relaxed Farmhouse Menu, and its terrace has a floating stretch tent for al fresco evening food in every season. Chefs cook over a fire pit and in a wood fired oven at the outdoor kitchen beside the terrace, so diners watch the food being made.
