me go NEVER LET Hidden amongst Cumbria’s stunning countryside is The Den At Four Acres, a new wedding venue which is full of inspiration Images courtesy of Rebecca Elizabeth Smith Wedding Photography Adrian and Sarah Carruthers have recently opened a beautiful tipi wedding venue, The Den At Four Acre in Kirkbride. They have changed their career direction slightly to include running this bespoke venue. Sarah’s dream was to create a magical venue nestled in beautiful countryside amongst trees, high hedgerows and meadowland. The interior of the venue reflects the outdoor door space with ivy and floral decorations, mixed with old metal cartwheels, an indoor firepit, wooden ladders and leather couches. A section of the tipi is dedicated to the dancefloor, which was created from reclaimed wooden boards, and the trestle tables and benches can seat up to 200 guests. The front of the tipi looks onto an outdoor garden which will soon have an outdoor ceremony space. There is plenty of seating and a stone campfire in the middle to sit around on summer evenings. All the outdoor and indoor spaces are subtly lit with festoon and fairylights, which creates a magical space both day and night. The Den At Four Acre is open from April to September and is available on a dry-hire basis over three days. All of the food, the bar and the entertainment are the bride and groom’s choice as can they hire in whatever they like, whether it’s a formal sit-down meal or a laid-back hog roast in the garden. It’s a chance for couples to make their day bespoke. 75 REGIONAL SHOOT
