The total balance of your event will be due six weeks before the date of your event. This can be paid by bank transfer, cash or PayPal.
We reserve the right to cancel your booking in the event of any damage or destruction of the venue by Fire or any other cause beyond our control, which would prevent us from fulfilling our obligation in connection with your booking. If this unfortunate situation was to occur all deposits and down payments will be returned. Thornsett Fields Farm will not be responsible for any consequential or third-party losses.
If damage occurs to Owner’s property or to any fixtures or fittings (to include the farmhouse, the barn, machinery, livestock, gardens and surrounding area) the client will be responsible for reimbursement in full.

Please give all guests directions to Thornsett Fields Farm, clearly pointing out that they must access the venue from Briargrove Road and not from Rowarth. If they get to the Little Mill Inn, they have gone wrong. Anyone following a Sat Nav needs to use postcode SK22 1AY and follow the signs for Thornsett Fields Farm. Postcodes found on the internet for the farm will send them in the wrong direction. There will be signs to look out for on the day.
