Born and raised on a farm in Melton Mowbray, it seemed only a matter of time before I came trotting back, dragging my London-made husband and kids behind me. This magical place Poplars Farm (kids call it Poppers Farm) was bought by Grandpa Frank in the 1960s, but no-one from the family moved in. That is until we arrived....

We've been here four years now - plotting, scheming, laughing, crying, knocking nails into things, in a bid to create a really wonderful wedding venue. The Old Cow Shed now offers a relaxed, beautiful and uncomplicated space. It's proper lovely.
