Heaton House Farm

About the venue

Set in scenic Staffordshire Moorlands, Heaton House Farm is situated between Leek and Macclesfield, just off the A523 at Rushton Spencer.

The 165 acre Farm had until November 2003 been a Dairy Farm milking a herd of 110 Holstein Friesian cows. A herd of Pedigree Belgian Blue Beef cattle was established in 1985 producing progeny which are sold on to go into other herds as breeding stock. A small but expanding flock of Charolais cross Texel sheep, and a commercial flock of 200 Welsh Ewes and some Free Range Hens which lay eggs for our B&B gusets. As far as pets go, there is Donna our Shire Horse along with Ben and Floss our working Collie dogs, Jack, our Jack Russell and a few cats. The farm is around 225 metres above sea level and although mainly a grassland farm, does have some cereal crops, an abundance of trees and woodland which supports a diverse array of wildlife. The farm is managed under The "Countryside Stewardship Scheme". Our aim in the past has been to avoid using chemicals as far as possible with the intention of converting the farm to fully Organic production as soon as possible. You will probably realise as you look through this site that we are not just a typical farm. We hope you enjoy this glimpse of what we do for a living and what we can offer you by way of celebration, relaxation or simply the ability to get away from it all. CONFERENCES The Wedding Barn is often available for use as a Conference Facility The Barn is very adaptable. The room can be arranged in just about any configuration you may desire, to cater for seating in concert, cabaret or classroom styles, with the room size adjusted to suite the size of the audience. Blacking out natural daylight can easily be achieved as Data projectors and large screens are often used along with other similar aids.
