At the end of 2012 we had a mutual friend who was involved in rennervating the whole site, the owner here wanted it to be maintained as one venue, rather than being split into various dwellings. Lots of tired barns have floors put in and it can ruin the internals of the building, it will still look the same from the outside but internally it will lose its originality, they were keen to keep it as original as possible.
They started to talk about it being an events space or wedding venue and that’s when the mutual friend put them in touch with us – they loved the concept of a local couple, we live a fifteen-minute walk from here so that was perfect, plus we had the background knowledge and experience of working in the events industry, and I had already worked previously at a wedding venue. We had the resources, and the tools to know what would be involved, and that process took a long time, there were no windows or doors on the barn, trees were growing through it, the floors were sloping inwards because of the cattle and the whole structure was completely different to what it looks like today!”
