Close to the harbour town of Yarmouth and the iconic Needles, East Afton Farmhouse at Freshwater is a rustic wedding venue on the Isle of Wight, surrounded by glorious pastures, meadows, and coastal woodlands.

Part of the Tapnell Farm estate and licensed for civil ceremonies, this private venue’s unique location really is unlike anywhere else. Wedding packages range from venue only options to all-inclusive packages with food and accommodation for up to 200 guests.

Say “I do” in the rustic events barn, with its exposed brick and timber cladding and vaulted ceiling. Or choose the light-filled Coach House & Courtyard or romantic Stone Barn. All characterful spaces have room to dine, dance and be merry.

Afterwards, the East Afton farmhouse and annex offer accommodation for up to 20 guests with seven ensuite bedrooms, each with views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. A short drive away, there’s plenty more places to stay at Tapnell Farm, including a 10-bedroom manor house, cottages and year-round glamping.

East Afton Farmhouse has its next Wedding Showcase on Sunday 23 February 2025, featuring 80 local suppliers.
