Annie and Susan welcome you to our farm, Babbington Park.
The Chapel
Beautifully restored in a serene setting. The Chapel sits proudly at the end of an oak-lined drive. With views of the surrounding country and over a spring-fed lake, it is the essence of understated country style in an idyllic environment.
The Farm
Annie and Susan work with a small team to create a beautiful, productive environment at Babbington Park. A large vegetable patch, productive fruit garden and leafy orchard have been established and are kept holistically. The farm is also home to a number of rare breed animals and poultry.
Fete Champetre
A French expression, literally translating as a “party in the fields”. An offering of morning & afternoon tea, champagne & canapes or a light offering created by Annie for your special event.

The second you enter the chapel you’re hit by the elegant, stripped back beauty of the space, the earthy smells of oils on the raw timber finishes, flowers from the garden bursting from their urns, and a deep connection to the bucolic peace of the property, with large windows welcoming in sunlight, rolling hills, and wandering geese outside. The musical acoustics are rich and sonorous, and it feels intimate yet generous in every way.

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue to launch a book about all things gardening, food and flowers than the Chapel at Babbington Park. We were made to feel so welcome by Susan and her team - including the geese. Nothing was too much trouble and the space... well, it's quite literally divine. Beautiful. We'll be back.

If you're looking for an intimate, small wedding then you found your perfect match. And if you like the countryside or a farmhouse wedding this is the best place for it. We loved everything Susan did for us. She is fabulous 🤩. We planned everything within a month's notice and if it wasn't for Susan we wouldn't have made it for the day. Thank you Susan.

This venue is utterly beautiful, so we knew in advance that it was going to be a really lovely wedding. But it was so much more than that, because of the way Susan put everything together. Venues can be pretty, but soulless - Babbington Park is the exact opposite of that. Susan planned our wedding like it was her own; the flower arrangements were enormous & spectacular, the bridal bouquets perfectly matched to gowns, the rose petal confetti packaged for guests, the geese waddling by the window mid ceremony, the co-ordination of venue, celebrant, photographer & cellist - all this was done by Susan expertly.
