Guy and Ginny Hemsley are delighted to welcome you to Newton Park Farm and The Barn — a truly unique, family-run licensed wedding venue set within enchanting, secluded grounds deep in the heart of the English countryside. Surrounded by peaceful lakes, open fields, and beautiful rural scenery, our venue offers a relaxed and romantic setting where couples can create a wedding celebration that feels personal, memorable, and entirely their own.
Ideally situated on the borders of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Northamptonshire, Newton Park Farm combines the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside with excellent accessibility for guests travelling from surrounding counties and beyond. Whether you are planning a large celebration with all your family and friends or a smaller, more intimate gathering, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day.
As an exclusive-use venue, Newton Park Farm is yours to enjoy privately, allowing you and your guests to fully relax and celebrate together in a warm and welcoming environment. We pride ourselves on offering complete flexibility and a genuine blank canvas approach, giving couples the freedom to design their wedding day exactly as they envision it. Unlike many venues, there are no expensive compulsory catering packages, no high menu costs per head, no hidden charges — simply the opportunity to create a day that truly reflects your own style, personality, and priorities.
We are licensed for Civil Ceremonies in two beautiful locations within the grounds. Couples may choose to exchange vows in our charming Wedding Hut or Pond View beside the lakes, surrounded by nature and stunning countryside views, or within the characterful Tythe Barn, which offers a warm and atmospheric indoor setting full of rustic charm.
To make the planning process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, we can provide a carefully selected list of exceptional recommended suppliers, including caterers, florists, photographers, stylists, musicians, and more. However, there is absolutely no obligation to use them, allowing you complete freedom to bring together the team and details that best suit your vision. You can meet many of our recommended suppliers at our Spring and Autumn Open Mornings, always great fun and so useful for planning.
Newton Park Farm also offers an in-house bar service offering packages including bringing in your own daytime drinks, a separate bed and breakfast business for close family and friends, and a camping area for any guests who wish to stay overnight.
One of the things couples value most about Newton Park Farm is the time and flexibility we offer. You will have access to the venue the day before your wedding to decorate, set up, and make everything feel just right, as well as time the following morning to gather belongings and enjoy the final moments of your celebration without feeling rushed. Throughout the process, Guy and Ginny are on hand to offer guidance, support, and reassurance, helping you create a wedding day that is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

Every wedding we have hosted at Newton Park Farm has been truly special, and it would be impossible for Guy and me to choose just one favourite. Each couple brings their own personality, style, and ideas to the venue, making every celebration completely unique. Over the years, we have been lucky enough to see so many wonderful and inspirational touches that have suited the venue beautifully and reflected each couple’s story perfectly. For us, the most important part of any wedding is not perfection or following trends — it is having the people you love around you, sharing a beautiful ceremony, enjoying delicious food, great music, lots of laughter, and creating memories that will stay with you forever. At the end of the day, it is the atmosphere, the love, the laughter, and the memories that make a wedding unforgettable
My number one piece of advice to all of our couples is not to worry too much about the little things. One of our brides recently came up to me and said, “Ginny, what about all the little details?” and I simply said to her, “Honestly, don’t worry too much about them.” Of course, the little touches are lovely and can add personality to your day, but if something gets forgotten, omitted, or doesn’t go exactly to plan, it truly does not matter in the grand scheme of things. What your guests and most importantly, the two of you will remember is being surrounded by the people you love, sharing a beautiful ceremony, enjoying wonderful food and music, celebrating in a stunning setting, and creating memories that will stay with you for the rest of your lives. That is what makes a wedding truly special.
Over the years, we have had the privilege of hosting so many beautiful weddings at Newton Park Farm, and one of the most special things for us has been seeing the wonderful personal touches that every couple brings to their day. There have been far too many inspirational ideas, thoughtful details, and creative moments to possibly mention them all here. What makes Newton Park Farm so unique is that no two weddings are ever the same. Every single week, the venue tells a completely different story as couples transform the barns and grounds to reflect their own personalities, style, traditions, and vision for their celebration. From rustic countryside elegance to relaxed festival-style weddings, from timeless classic styling to fun and informal gatherings, each wedding has its own atmosphere and character. Every celebration becomes a reflection of the couple themselves, bringing together family and friends in a setting filled with love, laughter, personality, and meaningful moments.
Beautiful, relaxed, happy, welcoming, and truly memorable — the perfect way to describe the atmosphere at Newton Park Farm. From the moment guests arrive, we want everyone to feel at home, able to relax, celebrate, and enjoy every moment together. Every wedding here has its own unique character, but what always shines through is the warmth, laughter, and happiness shared between family and friends. Our aim is to create a setting where unforgettable memories are made and where couples can look back on their day with genuine joy for many years to come.
Our grounds are beautifully picturesque and offer endless opportunities for stunning wedding photographs. From the lakes and open countryside views to the charming barns and secluded corners of the venue, every part of Newton Park Farm provides a wonderful backdrop for capturing those special moments throughout your day. One of the things couples and guests particularly love is that the photography feels relaxed and naturally part of the celebration. Rather than the bride and groom being taken far away from their guests for long periods of time, family and friends can still see you enjoying your photographs around the grounds. This helps create a much more sociable and inclusive atmosphere, allowing everyone to remain part of the occasion.
It means you can enjoy precious time together as newlyweds without missing out on the laughter, conversations, and celebrations happening around you, creating a wedding day that feels relaxed and connected.
One particularly memorable celebration featured a performance by renowned broadcaster and DJ Tony Blackburn, creating an unforgettable evening entertainment for guests. We have also welcomed exceptional catering experiences to the venue, including one wedding beautifully catered by celebrated chef Jimmy Garcia, whose creativity and outstanding food added another special touch to the day.

The opportunity to create your perfect wedding day in the most stunning English countryside setting — a celebration that is personal, relaxed, and truly reflective of you both. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, peaceful lakes, and enchanting grounds, Newton Park Farm provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories shared with family and friends.
We love everything about our venue, but what makes it most special for us is being part of such an important and joyful occasion in people’s lives. From the excitement and anticipation before the wedding to the celebrations themselves, every wedding at Newton Park Farm is filled with happiness, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
One of our favourite parts is cooking breakfast for everyone the following morning and hearing the delight from the couple, their families, and friends as they relive the wonderful memories from the day before. There is something so lovely about the relaxed atmosphere the next morning, with everyone still smiling, sharing stories, and talking about what a fabulous and memorable celebration it was.
For us, it is those moments, seeing people genuinely happy, relaxed, and enjoying time together. This makes what we do so rewarding and reminds us why we love Weddings.
