We visited thousands (okay, maybe 15) venues, but none had the wow factor. When we visited Burley Manor, we knew this was the perfect venue. The combination of the beautiful manor house and rustic barn was exactly what we were looking for.

We visit the New Forest a lot, mainly because you have to drive through to get to the AFC Bournemouth matches… But we’ve also spent a lot of time on bike rides, in country pubs or stuck behind a stubborn horse on the road.

The venue is in the village of Burley, just 20 minutes from Bournemouth and an hour from London. It’s close to train stations, motorways and airports.
