Avalen Farm – Country Weddings
Rustic barns near Bodmin
Tucked away on a 100-acre family farm in the Cornish countryside, Avalen is a cluster of beautifully restored granite barns that feel both historic and totally tailored to modern weddings.

A little bit about this venue
If “rustic romance” is your style, you’ll want to hear all about Avalen Farm. These barns were once part of the Lanhydrock Estate and have been lovingly transformed over a couple of years by the family — multiple generations pitched in to help. The result is a venue that’s full of authentic Cornish character, think original stone walls and exposed beams, yet with all the amenities you need to celebrate in comfort.
Avalen offers exclusive use for your wedding, meaning the whole place is yours and yours alone. The barns form a pretty little courtyard, which I’ve seen used for lawn games, fire pits, or even a food-truck late-night snack. Inside, the main barn is warm and inviting, perfect for an intimate ceremony or a cosy dinner. They’re licensed for civil ceremonies, or you could have a blessing or celebrant-led ceremony in the courtyard and then just do your reception here.
Just a selection of some of the amazing venues I’ve had the pleasure of shooting at
