Dimensions!
Here are some of the other dimensions you may need whilst planning your decorations…
Ladder - The long ladder above the storage cupboard doors is approximately 8.5 m long.
Beams - The beautiful scissor beams and drop posts have hooks at the base so you can loop your decorations using a lightweight extendable pole from ground level.
There are five sets of beams (numbered 1 to 5 starting from the Balcony end). The first two sets (beams 1 and 2) are 2.5 m apart, the rest (beams 2,3,4 and 5) are 3.1 m apart.
The distance straight across the hall between the hooks is approximately 8.8 m, and the diagonal distance between each set about 9.4 m, except of course between sets 1 and 2 which is about 9 m.
None of these measurements take account of any ‘droop’ you might want to have or taking lights/bunting up to the top hooks on the drop posts.To simplify - if you want to hang bunting/lights from hook to hook across the width of the hall (as shown in one of the photos below) you will need 8.8 - 9 m per width.
Pegs - Wooden pegs are fixed into the horizontal beams at each end of the Main Hall, again for you to attach/loop your decorations around. There are 7 in the beam beneath the Balcony and 5 in the beam that divides the big window.
GableWindow (and horizontal beam above) - 6 m wide
Balcony (and horizontal beam below) - 8.2 m wide
Internal front door (with pegged beam above) - 2.48 m wide
Side Ledges/cills in The Tallet - 7 m long each
French Windows/Door in The Tallet - 1.45 m wide
The Clock House - 4 m square
Vintage Cake Stand - Flat mirrored surface 35 cm across
Modern Cake Stand - Three tiers, designed for 12", 9" and 6" cakes on boards.
I think after a week back to normality with work and school runs we have finally floated back down to earth from our wonderful wedding. From the set up on the Friday to landing back from our honeymoon, we never stopped smiling. So many people who came to our day expressed how much fun they had and what a fab venue Harefield is; the word is being spread far and wide! We never doubted your vision and reaped all the rewards of the finished product. I took a moment to just pause and take in the sight of our friends and family with smiley faces, happily tucking in to food, drink in hand and flowing in out and around the barn just as we wanted. You and Robert both worked so hard across the whole weekend to keep things running smoothly and we are so grateful as our memories of our day is just one of pure happiness, love and joy.
