Chalkney Water Meadows
A lakeside venue for weddings, retreats, and gatherings
Set on our fifth-generation organic farm in rural Essex, Chalkney Water Meadows is a place to gather, connect, and celebrate in nature. Just an hour from London, this lakeside meadow surrounded by ancient woodland is as versatile as it is beautiful. From weddings and corporate retreats to wellness weekends and milestone birthdays, it offers a backdrop where ideas, laughter, and memories come to life.
