We Won! South Farm Crowned Best Wedding & Party Venue at the Muddy Stilettos Awards

There are moments in running a venue like South Farm that stop you in your tracks. Last week, at the Muddy Stilettos Awards ceremony hosted at the stunning Bailey Hills Estates , we had one of those moments.

A small team of us headed out to collect what turned out to be a really rather special award — and came home absolutely beaming (as you can see from those smiles).

What This Award Means to Us

Awards like this don’t happen by accident. They happen because of the incredible team here at South Farm.

Our team shows up every single day with a level of care, passion and dedication that never fails to move us. From the Event Managers to the Chefs, the Bar Team to the Garden Team, the Front of House Team to those working quietly behind the scenes after hours (including our incredible Night Team). Every single one of them is the reason South Farm is what it is.

And then there are you: our wonderful couples, guests, suppliers and supporters who took the time to vote. Knowing that the people who have experienced South Farm first hand wanted to champion us in this way means more than we can say. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

What Makes South Farm ‘Distinctly Different’

We’ve never set out to be the biggest or the most well-known. We’ve simply tried, year after year, to create a place where every couple feels completely at home: where the food comes from our own organic smallholding, the animals add an extra touch of charm to the day, the gardens change beautifully with every season, and the team feel less like staff and more like family.

To have that recognised with an award like this is genuinely wonderful.
