A working Shropshire farm is putting a unique spin on the traditional white wedding by opening up its fields, cowsheds and barns to create the perfect country venue.
Morrells Wood Farm in Leighton has come up with ‘the welly wedding’ in partnership with Shropshire’s Wroxeter Hotel – one of the county’s top wedding venues.
Hannah Hall, who runs the hotel with her husband Ed, said the idea of the partnership was to create a unique venue for country brides and grooms to enjoy with their guests.
She said: “Every couple wants to put their stamp on their special day and this is a unique way to do that. We’re calling it the welly wedding because wellies are popping up everywhere at the moment.
“Of course wellies are not compulsory or even totally necessary. The most wonderful thing about Morrells Wood is that is genuinely a working farm but it is also very clean with wonderful facilities so guests really get the best of all worlds.”
Derek Harper, who farms Morrells Wood Farm, said he and his wife wanted to diversify and thought weddings on a working farm would be an unusual option for couples.
He said: “We won’t have the tractors running during the reception, of course but it will be a great experience for guests, who can enjoy self-catering accommodation in our cottages too.”
The farm will hold a ‘welly wedding’ open day on Sunday February 28 from 12pm to 3pm for couples interested in a working farm celebration.
