Sustainable Practices at Bachilton Barn: Our Green Policy

At Bachilton Barn, we are committed to working in a way that is both environmentally responsible and economically sustainable. We believe sustainability should be part of everyday decision-making and embedded into how we run the venue. Across all areas of the business, we continually review how we operate so we can reduce our environmental impact, improve efficiency and make better long-term choices for our team, our couples, our guests and the wider environment.

We know there is always more that can be done. Sustainability is not a one-off project. It is an ongoing commitment. Through our Green Team, we continue to explore new ideas, actions and improvements that help us strengthen our environmental approach year after year.

Our commitments include using local suppliers wherever possible, helping to reduce transport impact while also supporting the local economy and strengthening our wider social responsibility. We are focused on reducing waste across the venue by reusing materials where we can, maintaining and repairing items to extend their lifespan, and recycling anything that cannot be reused or repurposed.

We closely monitor key areas of the business to identify where improvements can be made. This includes water use, electricity consumption, waste, emissions and general environmental awareness. By regularly reviewing these areas, we can make practical changes that lead to meaningful progress.

We are also committed to raising awareness amongst staff, couples and guests, encouraging everyone who spends time at Bachilton Barn to play a part in our sustainable practices. Small changes matter, and we want sustainability to feel visible, shared and achievable.

Where possible, we invest in renewable and lower-impact solutions, including solar energy and rainwater harvesting. We continue to improve energy efficiency through actions such as using more efficient lighting, installing passive infrared sensor lighting in key areas, and encouraging lights to be switched off when not in use throughout the venue and accommodation.

Alongside operational improvements, we keep our website and welcome information updated with details of our sustainability efforts. We are equally committed to protecting and enhancing the natural environment around us, including maintaining wild habitats across the farm and encouraging biodiversity.

This policy reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, thoughtful action and creating a more sustainable future for Bachilton Barn.
