Local supplier spotlight: Foxearth Hall Barn

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Foxearth, just minutes from Long Melford and Sudbury, Foxearth Hall Barn is a beautifully restored 16th-century barn offering modern comforts within a relaxed, rustic setting. Set amidst rolling countryside on the Suffolk–Essex border, the barn can accommodate up to 200 guests and provides an idyllic backdrop for weddings and celebrations of all kinds.

The venue is run by Pam Pluck, whose wealth of experience in hospitality ensures every event is seamless and stress-free. Pam’s aim is to allow couples to focus on enjoying their big day, offering as much or as little involvement as they wish. From floral arrangements and themed décor to wedding cakes, stationery and hand-written place cards, Pam’s extensive skills and trusted contacts allow every detail to be tailored with professionalism, while enhancing the barn’s natural charm.

The Granary occupies a central, elevated position within the barn, overlooking the dancefloor and providing an impressive stage area for bands, DJs, grand pianos or other entertainment. The bar is thoughtfully set back from the main space, offering generous serving areas, full refrigeration and a cosy seated corner where guests can relax.

An extensively equipped caterers’ kitchen is ideal for producing high-quality cuisine for up to 200 guests, featuring professional ovens, hot cupboards, prep surfaces and grills. Outside, a walled courtyard to the rear of the barn offers a versatile entertaining space, complete with a purpose-built brick barbecue and a enclosed area for children. The surrounding grounds of Foxearth Hall Barn, including a picturesque moat, provide stunning opportunities for photographs.
