Whether it is a wedding, a graduation ball, or some other special occasion, trends around venues often change from one year to the next. The upmarket hotel in town may well be the best place to go one year, with the haunted castle or golf club on the outskirts of town the best choice the next.
In recent years, countryside locations have seen a boom in popularity for parties of all types. These venues range from converted barns and farmhouses, to countryside venues and houses, or even simply hiring a field and organising a marquee and other features.
