Tudor Barn Eltham

No, Tudor Barn Eltham does not offer dry hire for any events including weddings. All food and drinks must be ordered directly through their on-site chefs and catering team. You cannot bring your own caterers or external food and beverage providers.

The venue cannot accommodate large guest numbers, with the venue declining events for 500 guests and indicating capacity limitations for various enquiries. Specific maximum capacity figures are not provided in the available information, but they regularly turn away larger events due to capacity constraints.

Saturday availability is extremely limited, with the venue fully booked every Saturday in June and November. They have existing weddings booked on most Saturdays, making Friday bookings more readily available for wedding events.

Tudor Barn Eltham does not accept bookings more than 3 months in advance. This policy applies to all events including weddings, so you cannot secure dates beyond this timeframe regardless of your preferred date.

Friday wedding bookings start from £2,500 + VAT for venue hire. This represents their standard Friday pricing structure, though additional costs for catering, drinks, and other services would apply on top of this base venue hire fee.

Yes, Tudor Barn Eltham does not host private events including weddings in the summer months in the Tudor Gallery. This seasonal restriction affects availability during peak summer wedding season, limiting private event options during these months.

Wedding catering has minimum number requirements, with finger buffets requiring a minimum of 30 people at £18.95 per person. Even if your actual guest count is lower, you must pay for the minimum number of 30 guests for buffet-style catering options.

The venue provides a single projector that presents onto white walls upstairs, an in-house PA system for background music, and a wireless microphone. However, the speakers are not connected to the projector, so you may need to bring battery-powered speakers for presentations or ceremony audio.

No, guests and external vendors cannot access the kitchen facilities. Tudor Barn Eltham has on-site chefs who handle all food preparation, and all catering must be arranged directly through their internal team rather than external providers.

You still pay for the minimum number even with fewer actual attendees. For example, if you have 20 guests but book a finger buffet with a 30-person minimum at £18.95 per person, you pay for 30 people regardless of actual attendance.
