Welcome

A farm first, a venue second

Micklefield Hall is a 350-acre working farm near Sarratt in Hertfordshire that holds one wedding a day, with a licensed pavilion beside the pond and an oak-framed barn seating 200.

Micklefield Hall sits on 350 acres of Chiltern countryside and is still farmed by the Rankin family, who live in the hall. Anna and Jamie Rankin began the weddings, and their son Tom and his wife Annabel now run them, with one wedding held per day.
