Kelvin Fletcher issues farm update as the family moves in a new direction
Kelvin and Liz Fletcher’s farm is the setting for the hit ITV show Fletchers’ Family Farm,which is currently on air with a third series
Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz run a sprawling family farm that is already the focus of a TV documentary.
But now it’s set to welcome a host of guests as the sprawling 120-acre farm in the beautiful Peak District is open for wedding bookings.
Couples dreaming of tying the knot in stunning Cheshire countryside can now say “I do” at Fletchers’ Family Farm, the 120-acre estate belonging to Kelvin and Liz.
The third series of Kelvin’s family adventures can currently be enjoyed by ITV viewers as it launched last month. For those considering the farm as their wedding destination, the couple are providing two distinct packages – a barn celebration or a blessing ceremony “surrounded by the magical woodland”.
According to the farm’s website: “Fletchers Farm is now open as a wedding venue! We’re offering two different services to help couples celebrate their special day.
“The first option is a barn wedding in the function barn situated beneath the coffee shop. The barn is a flexible space with rustic character aplenty and offers an opportunity for a magical day of celebrating without the hefty financial burden.”
The website continues: “The second option is a woodland blessing ceremony set away in the countryside fields beneath both Roseberry Topping and Captain Cooks Monument. Situated near the fishing lake, and surrounded by the magical woodland, our venue won’t be beaten for its picturesque location,” reports Cheshire Live.
“The enchanted woodland walk offers couples the chance to host a blessing ceremony on site.”
Interested parties can arrange viewings by visiting the website.

The news comes amid worrying health update in the latest instalment of Fletchers’ Family Farm, which aired on Sunday, November 23 when the extent of the actor’s injuries sustained during a charity rugby match were laid bare.
The star had signed up to play alongside professional athletes Gareth Ellis, Mark Flanagan and Danny McGuire in aid of the David Lewis Centre, a charity supporting individuals with complex needs.
The soap star had initially been benched, but was later shown in the game being tackled. He admitted at the time: “I’m hoping, fingers crossed, I’ve not, but it feels like I’ve torn my bicep.”
In the latest update given to viewers, he revealed a scan had now confirmed that he was indeed suffering from a torn bicep, rendering him unable to see through his commitments on the farm.
“I need to find a potential understudy,” he remarked on the programme as he weighed up whether he could still show his Lincoln Red cows at the Royal Cheshire Show.
Turning to wife Liz, he said: “My arm is killing me still. My arm’s really sore and I’m just thinking whether it’s best you taking them. You’ll be fine.” He added: “Let’s just see, but just on standby. How do you feel about that?”
Liz, clearly unimpressed replied: “Well not great, obviously,” as Kelvin reassured her that “despite the adversity, despite the hiccups we’re still going to go.”
