The Farmhouse sleeps 15 across six double rooms and one triple room, while Barn House sleeps 12 across five double rooms and one twin. Alongside the houses, three Hampshire Pyggies give you a little extra space to stay in your own cosy countryside hideaway.
We’ll create a dedicated booking portal for your wedding, making it easy for your guests to book their accommodation directly. Any unbooked rooms within your included accommodation will be added to your final invoice three months before your wedding.
Want to have even more of your guests stay with you? We offer 6 additional Silchester Pyggies and the Granary, perfect for guests who would like their own private space. These can be booked directly by your guests on a first-come, first-served basis.
And the best bit? Breakfast is included.

Never forgetting the evening food, our outdoor kitchen will create a sociable selection of delicious dishes including open fire cooking, Kamado Joe grill for low and slow meats and wood fired oven for sunset pizzas and sweet upgrades to offer treats till late.
Once booked you will be able to work with our events team through your planning to choose and create a menu to suit you both, there is lots to look forward to and as discussed its most important that you select food you love - and we will look after your guests with any dietary requirements.
Eating
Good food, comes hand in hand with great tipples, therefore, we have carefully created a choice of drinks to keep your guests refreshed throughout your celebrations. Our menu allows you to tailor a collection as bespoke as your day itself. As important as the food you share with guests on the day, we want to ensure that your drinks flow and you have the combination of cocktails, wine and fizz you love.
We have two fully licensed, beautiful rustic bars here at Silchester Farm. Both are stocked with local ales, a premium selection of spirits and wines sourced from the UK and beyond, as well as a selection of soft drinks and sustainably sourced water. Our Wingless Eagle Gin has recently won an international award, joining our collection of craft spirits which includes flavoured gins, Spiced and White Rum, Vodka and English Whisky. One thing is for sure, no one will be thirsty as in addition to the drinks allocated within your wedding collection, both of our beautiful bars have options for pay as you go or you can set up a pre-paid tab ahead of the day. Drink upgrades including cocktail hours and the perfect ‘bubbly tower’ offers showstopping photo opportunities too.

Payment Schedules: The boring but important bit
To confirm your date, once your hold is over – we will require a deposit of 50% venue hire + a £1500 catering.
Depending on your confirmed date, your next payment will either be due in 6 months time, or half way between booking and the wedding – this will be a catering stage payment of £1500, and in addition the balance for your Luxury Pyggy or if you have decided to secure all of our on site accommodation the 50% deposit to secure this at the discounted rate.
Your final payment will be due 3 months prior to your date – at this stage we will finalise your menus, you will confirm your guest numbers and we will raise the balances due on your venue hire, accommodation and your food and drink based on your confirmed guests. Ensuring your only paying for the people there and not committing your budget to guests who cannot make it.
We would love to know how you feel your visit went and hear your thoughts. If you have a few minutes, it would be really helpful if you can complete a short survey on your visit HERE. Upon completion we would be pleased to offer you a discount when you come back - you can pop to our Trough Farm Shop and pick up some locally sourced treats or a tipple or visit us for a public event and have a drink on us at the bar ❤️
We are here to help at every stage through your wedding planning journey, so please do get in touch if you have any questions. Understandably there is a lot to take in, and we are here to ensure you have everything you need now you have had an opportunity to visit.
We hope to see you soon
