Ever since we first opened the doors of The Barn at Botley Hill this summer, our unique wedding venue’s Surrey Hills location, spectacular views and stylish interior design have made it a go-to destination for eye-catching photoshoots as well as weddings and exclusive events.

And so it was wonderful to welcome the Surrey Life magazine team and a stocking full of fantastic Surrey businesses for a stylish and sustainable Christmas photoshoot at our countryside wedding barn recently.

You can read all about it and pick up some cracking Christmas tips, as well as perusing some gorgeous photography with a stunning The Barn at Botley Hill backdrop, in December’s Surrey Life magazine, which is out in shops now.

Sustainable Surrey style

The shoot featured furniture and toys from Louisa Grace Interiors, Banstead; styling by Tumeric House from Guildford; food by Two Many Cooks from Brockham Green; illustration by artist Lisa Tolley from Thames Ditton; flowers, plants and candles from Mad Lilies, Banstead; and photography by the hugely talented Hayley Bray from West Molesey.

The Barn at Botley Hill’s gorgeous interior was inspired by the beautiful combination of rustic, raw materials and best in design of the famous Soho Farmhouse countryside retreat in Oxfordshire.

You can read more about our inspiration and the work of interior designer Emma Kirby elsewhere on our Botley blog.
