Nancarrow is a working farm, weddings and events venue, nestled in an idyllic hidden valley near Truro, Cornwall.
A bumpy track, lined with old oak trees and ancient Cornish hedgerows, leads guests through 100 acres of rolling pasture and sheltered meadows to our family farmhouse; the heart of the farm.
Our events venue offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in these beautiful surroundings, and experience the hospitality of a working organic farm.
Our family have reared traditional breed cattle and sheep at Nancarrow for nearly 250 years.
Since throwing our barn doors open to the public in 2014, our organic produce is now reared, butchered, aged, cooked and consumed on the farm.
We have lovingly restored several historic barns to create inspiring spaces for gathering, feasting, celebrating and staying.
Our barns are wonderfully secluded in the heart of the farm, but only 4 miles from Truro and the North Cornish coast.
Produce from the farm is integral to our busy kitchen, where our chefs create feasts influenced by their surroundings – using the best of what’s available from the fields, hedgerows, kitchen garden or larder.
Fuelled by a local woodsman, our courtyard kitchen provides an atmospheric backdrop whilst guests explore the farm and barns.

March’s dry easterly breeze has passed, and we’ve been basking in April’s blossoming beauty. Tables (and sometimes office desks) have been relocated outdoors to a sunnier spot. […]
