About

The venue occupies a former residence of A. A. Milne, nestled in a woodland setting, offering a private and intimate canvas for weddings. It is family owned and operated, allowing couples full flexibility to design the day in their style, whether that be rustic, festival‑style or elegant marquee celebration. The surrounding grounds of trees and water give the venue a tranquil atmosphere, and the blank‑canvas format gives couples freedom over décor, layout and suppliers.

Facilities

Decoy Ponds provides wide open lawns and lakeside views suitable for ceremonies and receptions under marquees or sailcloth tents. There is sufficient space for a large guest list (capacity listed up to about 200) and facilities such as onsite power for events are included. The natural landscape, with a pond, woodland paths and open fields, makes for memorable photo opportunities and relaxed movement between ceremony, drinks and evening dancing.

Catering

While Decoy Ponds is primarily a venue for hire, it allows couples to bring in catering of their choice. It is praised for the flexibility this offers, enabling bespoke menus, external catering trucks or buffet‑style feasts under the marquee.

Accommodation

Although Decoy Ponds does not list formal on‑site hotel accommodation, it offers ample parking and a camping or glamping field option for guests who wish to stay on site or overnight in a relaxed woodland setting.
