We all love our maypole – its just makes the barnyard come alive and brings everyone together. As the sun sets behind the carousel, your first dance can take place outside, beneath all the twinkly lights. Last Friday we had 90 people under the maypole all dancing and a Blue Moon to top it off. It really was a very special moment.

2023 seems to be the year of the tradition and we LOVE it. Not only does it bring families closer together but it encourages creativity which is so special.
We encourage all of our couples to cut their cake & throw the bouquet but also for guests to welcome the newlyweds into the Barn with applause and napkin twirling.
Napkin twirling is a French Tradition and Preston Court has borrowed it. It’s just perfect combined with the sound of the jazzy organs the atmosphere is electric.
We can even play the Rumba on the musical organ in the barn to create an unforgettable ambience for the entrance of the Bride and Groom.
Get the whole FAMILY involved. Last weekend, the grooms grandmother who is 92 years old made 120 mint fancies which were given to the guests as wedding favours. The grooms father made their wedding cake, as this was their family tradition.
We have been gifted this jaw dropping sculpture b y Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly London. This seven meter tall sculpture of a peacock, (very Preston Court), was hand crafted using thousands of recycled Fortum’s biscuit tins for the Coronation.
We plan to re instate Mr Coronation Peacock on one of the Barns at Preston Court so that he can welcome guests as they arrive. How Regal!
