Folly Farm Centre

We recently held our wedding at Folly Farm and had a super experience from beginning to end. Clare, Andrea and the team were amazingly helpful in planning our wedding and on the actual weekend, went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that we could relax and enjoy the day. The venue itself is beautiful and allows you the freedom to put your own stamp on the decorations and having the opportunity for our friends and family to stay for the whole weekend made the celebrations really special. The food, from Thyme Chef (Folly's recommended caterers) was incredible, including breakfast on the Saturday and Sunday, and we are still getting feedback from our guests about how much they loved it!! Thank you Folly for helping to make our day so special!

We got married at Folly Farm and it was a wonderful experience. Tony, Andrea, Clare and the rest of the team were so helpful and friendly. In the planning stages they were always available to answer our many questions, and during the wedding itself they worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. It was very reassuring and relaxing to know that they were organising everything behind the scenes, and the day was even better than we could have imagined. It was great to have the freedom to get married outside, and decorate the venue to make it really personal. The fact that so many of our guests could stay or camp for the weekend made it really relaxing, and the food from Thyme Chef was also fantastic. It was really important for us to have an environmentally sustainable venue and it's great to know that the profits go back into supporting the nature reserve and the Avon Wildlife Trust. A massive thank you to everyone at Folly Farm and we look forward to coming back and visiting regularly!

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Folly Farm to anyone looking for a terrific wedding venue. We don't think anything locally matched Folly’s beauty, space and atmosphere – not to mention the people we worked with who were fantastic hosts throughout.

Folly Farm was the first and only venue we visited! The moment our eyes set on those rolling hills and the stunning views that Folly offered it was an easy decision. Folly Farm (and all it's kind natured and helpful staff) encapsulated everything we had wanted: a relaxed and charming vibe with all our favourite people. All the things that were important to us Folly Farm helped us to achieve with little stress and a genuine sense of pride and kindness. We left Folly Farm on the Sunday after the most heart warming weekend and left as Mr And Mrs Scales hand in hand. We're still beaming, thank you.

Our daughter was married at Folly Farm. The weekend was everything we’d dreamt of and more. A wonderful venue in stunning setting! The venue offered so much flexibility, the opportunity to entertain as if it was your own home, a safe environment for children to enjoy with freedom to do their own thing. The wedding day itself was nothing less than perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. Special thanks from me to Claire who went above and beyond to ensure everything was just so.... including delivering breakfast and getting my daughter through an emotional outburst in seeing her children dressed ready for the event. Thank you Claire, I’ll say it again - you were simply the best! Would highly recommend Folly Farm.

We attended a wedding here and it was fantastic! Staff were great, easy to find, good parking, venue is just stunning and we had a fantastic day! I’d never been to Somerset before but will definitely be going back!

Firstly we would like to say a massive thank you! We literally cannot thank you enough. From the moment we booked Folly Farm, we felt at ease. Folly Farm is the most beautiful, laid back venue, and we couldnt have wished for anything better and more suitable for us. And to everyone at Thyme Chef, you helped us throughout, even when I did keep changing my mind. Everyone said the food was amazing and there were lots of comments on how kind all the staff were, so thank you! As you know, when we arrived, we had a lot of stuff, as I had the day pictured in my head from the very start. Everyone enjoyed it so much, and the outdoor games were enjoyed by all. Both Folly Farm and Thyme Chef are so much more than a venue and caterers, you have helped plan throughout, and feel more like friends than suppliers.

Fortunate enough to attend a wedding here which was blessed with good weather for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the stunning views of the rolling countryside. The venue was simply lovely, although ladies do need to be warned about the steep steps to/from the car park which aren’t ideal for fancy heels ;) Birds and dragonflies swooped and flitted about and added a whimsical touch to the day. Highly recommend venue to prospective couples and for other events.

My husband and I got married here just over three weeks ago. The venue is idyllic, with its spectacular setting and view overlooking Chew Valley lake and the Mendips. There were a number of reasons we chose this as our venue, the setting is one of them, but its ties to the Avon Wildlife Trust; its environmentally-focussed ethos and the flexibility we were afforded in being able to have the entire venue for the weekend were among the others. We both felt very privileged to have been able to get married at a venue as special as Folly Farm and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for all of their help and assistance. Right from our first viewings and throughout our meetings, to the on the day preparations and delivery - everyone was to helpful, enthusiastic and positive. Nothing was too much trouble or too big a problem. The whole weekend went so smoothly and this was down to the team. We were fortunate enough to be able to have our ceremony outside, in the courtyard overlooking the Lake. There are a variety of other locations around the venue which are licensed for weddings, and you are free to choose a spot which is the best for your wedding size and needs - the team at Folly Farm go out of their way to ensure everything looks stunning. We have had so many compliments on the venue, the food and the overall service, both on the day and since we have been married. All of our guests enjoyed themselves, so thank you for your work in helping us make this happen!

This venue is just stunning to have a Wedding at Folly Farm with the beautiful backdrop of rolling hills set in the most beautiful nature reserve. We all stayed there for 2 night's for my Daughters Wedding. The accommodation is lovely. It was so nice for everyone to be there together. Everything was just perfect Thank you Folly Farm. ...
