Avon Wildlife Trust’s unique wedding and conference venue at Folly Farm has been recognised by the Hitched Wedding Awards for 2026.

This is the third year in a row that Folly Farm Centre has won the award for best wedding venue, based on customer reviews on the wedding planning website Hitched.

Centre Manager, Clare Withyman, said,

“We are thrilled to receive the Hitched Wedding Venue Award for the third year. The team works hard to ensure our couples have the perfect day.

Folly Farm Centre is a unique, sustainable, and tranquil wedding venue with the added benefit that all profits are directed to support nature’s recovery in the region. 

Thank you to all of the newly weds in 2025 for choosing us as your wedding venue and for supporting Avon Wildlife Trust. We can’t wait to meet our couples this year.”

Folly Farm Centre is Avon Wildlife Trust’s award-winning wedding, conference, and learning venue, nestled at the heart of a 250-acre nature reserve between the cities of Bristol and Bath. 

This idyllic setting provides the perfect backdrop for wedding celebrations and memorable conferences, with on-site accommodation and in-house professional catering. 

All profits from Folly Farm Centre directly support the work of Avon Wildlife Trust, helping to boost nature’s recovery across the region.

The Centre prides itself on its commitment to sustainability, with biomass heating, solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and reedbed filtration of wastewater. 

Each year, Folly Farm Centre hosts more than 120 conferences, welcomes more than 4,500 wedding guests, and provides inspirational outdoor learning to more than 1,600 children.

The Hitched Wedding Awards are awarded to UK businesses who have been highly rated and recommended by couples on the Hitched wedding planning website.
