The Barn at Dalduff Farm was originally used for calving, but in 2007 it was transformed to create a unique events space.

It still retains many of its original features, including stone walls which have been white washed, but it’s very much a blank canvas.

You will find plenty of opportunities to stamp your own mark on it, with lots of space to suspend features such as fairy lights.

Included in the package is the Courtyard Room, which was converted from a grain store in 2013.

It is now a bright modern space with white walls, tiled floors, and male and female toilets.

In addition to this you will have the Courtyard itself, which is surrounded by ivied walls and really is the hub which accesses all areas.

The possibilities are endless.
