The first wedding at Bilston Creek Farm was held on July 19, 1855, soon after the land was settled by the Blinkhorn family of Bilston, England. In 2018, Bilston’s second life as a farm wedding venue began, with a newly built timber frame barn set between the heritage apple orchard and rows of lavender rolling toward the sea.
Ceremony
All weddings at Bilston offer several stunning indoor or outdoor ceremony sites to choose from. Choose from a forest ceremony sheltered beneath towering trees, an intimate barn wedding surrounded by warm coastal wood, or say your vows in the open expanse of the orchard amongst centuries old apple trees, arbutus and fir.
Reception
For longer wedding days, spend a warm evening dining under the stars in the orchard, on the patio or in the lavender aisle between a sea of purple. For an indoor reception, our custom timber frame barn provides a stunning space in any weather.
Dining
Our reclaimed wood tables set the stage for a long table dinner you’ll always remember, with the people who matter most to you. With natural beauty all around and all the amenities you need to make your day complete, all you need to do is add your personal style touches.
