The Hop Barn

COUNTRY KENT BARN WEDDINGS

The Hop Barn exudes rustic elegance. With its high vaulted ceiling, warm oak tones and a canopy of hops and fairy lights, effortless styling comes with a relaxed ambience. French doors open straight onto a stunning terrace, gazebo and gardens and reveal the beautiful panoramas overlooking the Swale Estuary.

Nestled in the Kent countryside, barn weddings at The Ferry House can utilise this beautiful space for the entirety of your occasion, hosting your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception. Alternatively for larger weddings you can extend the celebrations into the adjoining Event Suite (the Spring Barn from April 2026), with full use of the Hop Barn.

HOP BARN WEDDING CEREMONIES

The Hop Barn has heaps of charm, with permanent hops and fairy lights, lending itself well to be styled as you wish for your ‘Pinterest-worthy’ wedding. The French doors open straight onto the terrace, to the gazebo and gardens, so you can move effortlessly from ‘I do’, to stylish celebrations with your nearest and dearest. Our Hop Barn ceremonies can seat 130 guests.

HOP BARN WEDDING RECEPTIONS

As you relax into your evening celebrations, our Hop Barn comes into its own, with the rich wood tones and twinkling lights creating a magical and celebratory ambience. Rustic, full of natural light and styleable as you wish, clink glasses as you toast the start of your married life with up to 70 of your loved ones sitting down for your wedding breakfast. You can then see out your evening in style with up to 100 guests, or alternatively, combine spaces with the adjoining Event Suite, which can host up to 250 guests, or the Spring Barn, available from April 2026, with capacity for over 300 guests. These spaces offer the perfect setting for a large, all-out occasion.
