Higher Holcombe Weddings

Our Sustainability Commitments

Having planted almost 12,000 trees, we are proud that our maturing woodlands are developing into nature-rich eco systems and our couples appreciate what we do to support them to have an eco friendly wedding: * encouragement to use local brewery barrels etc to reduce the need to sort & recycle cans, plastics and bottles *facilities to sort, separate and recycle glass, card, plastic and cans *decor items to borrow / use from our prop box (reducing the need to make or buy items that you may never use again) *cutlery, crockery and glassware to use (reducing road miles and reducing the use of single use items) * limiting the availability of landfill waste disposal to just one 50L bin *discouraging food waste with forward planning with couples and their caterers *on-site accommodation (so guests can stay and enjoy a mini break in the countryside) (and reduce road use) * an air source heat pump for hot water in the Old Dairy (energy efficient heating) * solar lighting in the five glamping tents and throughout the woodland areas * filtered water supply to farmhouse from our own bore-hole (no chemicals) * ongoing woodland and wild flower meadow husbandry * encouraging couples to book local suppliers * encouraging couples to forage for decorative foliage from the hedgerows and woodland and to use locally-grown flowers for bouquets and decoration * energy-efficient lighting * increasing use of plant-based cleaning and maintenance products * creative use of upcycled and pre-loved furnishings and decor throughout the venue
