your venue
Tudor Barn Eltham is all that remains of the country mansion built in 1525 by
William Roper for Margaret Moore, daughter of Thomas Moore, Lord Chancellor
to King Henry VIII. Set within 13 acres of award winning parkland and overlook-
ing a mediaeval moat, Tudor Barn Eltham is one of only a handful of Tudor Barns
still standing today and the only one in London.
The 16th century barn is a haven of peace and tranquillity situated just 20-minutes
from central London and offers the perfect ‘rural’ wedding location within the M25.
Every wedding at Tudor Barn Eltham is truly unique and your special day will
share the romance of some of history’s most celebrated marriages, including
that of Hubert Bland and Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children. The
Tudor Gallery, our first floor event space, boasts original Tudor beams and
historic stained glass windows whilst the beautiful building is surrounded by
landscaped gardens and outdoor areas such as the Moat Terrace and the Tudor
Lawn – ideal locations for summer receptions.
Take a walk through the following pages and start to imagine yourself, your
other half, your friends and family taking in all that is Tudor Barn Eltham, the
backdrop for your very special day...

“The Tudor Barn is beautiful, the surroundings were perfect for photos, the food was amazing and all our guests were extremely happy. Our wedding planner was amazing - thank you for a day

beautiful, the food was delicious and the events team were beyond fantastic. We enjoyed every second of our wedding day
and the lead up to it too. In fact, we want to do it all over again!”CELIA AND ROB, NOVEMBER 2015
