Description

Tudor Barn Eltham is London's only surviving 16th-century Tudor barn - a genuine 1525 building, not a barn conversion, and one of the most distinctive wedding venues in the capital. Grade II* listed and set within thirteen acres of moated parkland in Royal Greenwich, it's a rare piece of living history: built for William Roper, husband of Margaret More, daughter of Sir Thomas More, and later home to the estate where Edith Nesbit wrote The Railway Children between 1899 and 1921. Few wedding venues in London, barn or otherwise, come with a story like this one attached.

Every wedding at Tudor Barn Eltham is exclusive use, with the entire barn, moat terrace, and front lawn are yours alone from morning setup to midnight. Choose from three ceremony settings to suit your day: the Tudor Gallery's larger end, seating up to 180 guests facing a dressed curtain backdrop; the more intimate fireplace end, ideal for smaller ceremonies of up to 90; or an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn, licensed for up to 180 guests between April and September. For the wedding breakfast, the Tudor Gallery seats up to 180 for a plated meal or 160 for a buffet, with room for 200 guests at an evening reception.

Set within Well Hall Pleasaunce, the venue's thirteen acres include rose gardens, fountains, medieval bridges, and the moat itself, giving photographers a variety of backdrops that few London venues can match, and giving your guests plenty of space to explore between the ceremony and the reception. In the warmer months, the moat terrace is a popular spot for a summer drinks reception before guests move inside beneath the barn's original oak beams.

A dedicated event manager supports you from your first enquiry through to the day itself, and our wedding fairs and private viewings throughout the year make it easy to see the barn, meet the team, and picture your own wedding in the space before you book.

Twenty minutes from London Bridge yet a world away from the city, Tudor Barn Eltham is an award-winning, exclusive-use barn wedding venue in South East London, easily reached by couples and guests travelling from across London, Kent, and beyond. Book a private viewing to see why so many couples describe it as one of the most unforgettable wedding venues in London.

Beautiful From Start To FinishBeautiful From Start To Finish
My son married his beautiful bride at the Tudor Barn 2 weeks ago and it was an amazing time with everything going smoothly. This venue is quite the jewel in the crown; you are virtually on the high street yet the photos portrayed this lovely place as though it were in the country due to the gorgeous gardens surrounding the building which make ideal photo settings. My son and daughter in law had 92 guests seated for the wedding breakfast with quite a fair number of others arriving in the evening. My personal fear about the guests being cramped was soon alleviated as I could see there was plenty of room (yet the atmosphere was cosy in a positive way) once the circular tables and Chiavari chairs were in place. Flowers, which covered the beams and were part of the Barn's decor, helped set the scene when combined with the florist's displays. The food was lovely, both the main meals and evening dishes, so no one was hungry however the buffet was not left indefinitely due to Health & Safety policies.

We just wanted to extended our thanks to Arina, Leah, Beth and the full team that was working during our Wedding yesterday. We had a perfect day and have been receiving lots of positive comments about how smoothly the day ran and how good the food was from our guests. This would not have been possible without the hard work from the team on the day.

A hidden gem in the middle of ElthamA hidden gem in the middle of Eltham
A hidden gem in the middle of Eltham. Having searched for months for a venue for our reception we stumbled upon Tudor Barn Eltham by chance. It was a perfect oasis of greenery off a not so great high street. Whilst the Barn is an ideal venue for Londoners in search of the perfect rustic wedding - the jewel in this crown is the amazing staff. Mikala and her super team - made the process effortless. They had everything under control and their ability to accommodate last minute changes with a smile amazed me. I was told most brides cry on the day because things don't go according to plan - well I smiled, laughed and danced the night away because the Tudor Barn team made sure everything flowed smoothly. Great food and quick service . We loved our wedding reception and so did our family and friends!!! Thank you Mikala and super team! We are coming back for the 10th Anniversary party!!!A hidden gem in the middle of Eltham. Having searched for months for a venue for our reception we stumbled upon Tudor Barn Eltham by chance.

fantastic day from start to finishfantastic day from start to finish
An absolutely brilliant place to get married, my son had his wedding here on Sunday and we all had a fantastic day from start to finish. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. My son and daughter in law said that they didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was organised for them and they could just relax and enjoy the day. I would recommend the Tudor Barn to anyone who is getting married, I am now nagging my other son to get married so we can go there and do it all over again.An absolutely brilliant place to get married, my son had his wedding here on Sunday and we all had a fantastic day from start to finish.

My grandson & his now wife booked the Tudor Barn for their wedding on 1st June 2018. Throught the whole process they received professional help and support to plan their special day. The day itself went amazingly well. All of the staff which we had contact with were friendly and truely helpful. The venue was decorated exactly how they wanted and looked beautiful. The food at the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet was well presented and tasted lovely. We had comments from the guest that the buffet in the evening had so much choice and not a sausage roll or soggy sandwich was in sight. All that's left to say is if your booking a wedding I would HIGHLY recommend this venue and a big THANK YOU for making my grandson & his wife's day a special & happy occasionMy grandson & his now wife booked the Tudor Barn for their wedding on 1st June 2018.

One word... magical! One word... magical!
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for giving us the best day of our lives on Saturday. The wedding was so perfect and beautiful and we are so grateful to the waiting staff, security, bar staff, events team and of course- our wedding planner and point of contact Mariana! Everyone worked so hard and it was absolutely brilliantly organised. Mariana especially went above and beyond. She was absolutely fantastic and remained calm, professional and organised everything beautifully. Mike and I both felt completely at ease knowing that Mariana had everything under control and we are so grateful! The food was incredible and all our guests commented how nice it was to be able to choose an option for what they had. The spreadsheet I kept really paid off! The outside drinks was such a special part of the day - everyone loved having pimms in the sunshine! The grounds also made the most beautiful background for photos... we are so happy with them!

We hosted a fantastically rewarding wedding for an extremely brave firefighter who tackled the Grenfell Tower blaze. The unity and friendship between him and his colleagues was like nothing we have seen before. All of the groomsmen and the groom wore full dress uniform and after the ceremony, there was a Firefighter’s Guard of Honour, to honour our fireman groom and his new bride.
