Haybales Farm wedding photography and film
Haybales Farm is a working farm turned wedding venue, bringing an honest, down-to-earth charm that couples love. The rustic barn, open fields, and informal setting create a relaxed atmosphere where genuine moments happen naturally in front of the camera.
We've filmed at a lot of barn venues, but Haybales Farm has something different going on. It's a real working farm, and that honesty comes through on camera, open fields, natural light pouring into the rustic barn, and a relaxed atmosphere that gives couples room to just be themselves. Genuine moments happen here without much coaxing.
Getting to Haybales Farm
The nearest train station is Headcorn, about 4 miles from the venue, with regular services from London Bridge taking around an hour. From there, a local taxi will get you to the farm in under 10 minutes. Gatwick Airport is your closest major airport, roughly 40 miles away, making it a straightforward option for guests travelling from further afield. There is on-site parking available at Haybales Farm, so driving is a perfectly easy option for those not drinking. Car sharing is worth organising in advance if you can. For the evening, book your taxis early. Local firms get busy on weekends, so arrange a pickup time before the reception ends to avoid a long wait.
