Why Duddon Mill Farm is ideal for a marquee wedding
A Duddon Mill Farm marquee wedding offers the flexibility modern couples want: countryside charm, weekend access and creative freedom.
The venue’s weekend hire structure gives you valuable set-up time, while the striking Dutch barn ceremony space creates a natural flow between ceremony and reception. Its rural setting and accommodation (which sleeps 12 on-site) make it especially suited to a full weekend celebration rather than a single-day turnaround.
Where couples are drawn to Duddon Mill Farm for its relaxed atmosphere and flexibility, including the possibility of a no corkage wedding, thoughtful marquee planning ensures the experience feels elevated rather than improvised.

With a Duddon Mill Farm weekend hire wedding, you’re not restricted to a rushed install. We can:
Build in advance for relaxed styling
Design smooth indoor/outdoor flow between barn and marquee
Create defined zones for dining, dancing and socialising
Incorporate garden drinks areas and stretch entrances
The result is a wedding that feels curated rather than constrained.
