Directions & Parking
Despite being in a rural location, Smeetham Hall Barn is not difficult to find. Close transport links for your guests include Sudbury Rail Station, around two miles away. This makes it an easy wedding venue to reach from London, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Essex and further afield. For guests wishing to drive, there is also ample parking for 150 cars close to the Barn.
About the venue
Smeetham Hall Barn is a privately owned 16th century barn set within a property listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. The Barn is a grade 2 listed building built in the mid-16th century and was used as a threshing barn for the storage of grain. Approaching the days of steam, the Barn became redundant until it housed livestock until the mid-seventies. The Hyde Parker family have lived at Smeetham Hall since 1906 and it is still a working farm. In 1998 the barn was beautifully converted into a wedding venue that is now considered one of the most esteemed wedding venues in Essex.
