This is a tough post to write, as was recording the video 😮‍💨

I've had to make the decision to step down as the leader/CEO role at Over Farm with immediate effect, with the farm, marketing and public-facing elements following as of early November 2026.

As I said in the video, the reasons are numerous, but fundamentally I need to make changes in my life for myself to improve my health. Sadly, I believe the best way for me to achieve this is to step away from these roles. To be clear, the roadworks have certainly added to the stress, but they are not the reason I'm choosing this path.

The decision, to be honest, while sudden on the surface, has been in my mind for years. I love the farm and the business; having grown up with it, it is a part of me, however, I must not allow it to consume me.
I'm incredibly lucky that there are people within the family, and indeed the amazing team at Over Farm, who can continue without me. 
Most importantly, the farm shop, park, wedding barn and everything else will go on!
It won't be easy for them, or me, but life never has been, has it?!

What will the future bring for me and the farm?
For myself, I have a few ideas just now, but the reality is that I will need some time to decompress from this rollercoaster.
For the farm, there are plenty of plans in the Over Farm 'skunk works' and I've no doubt that the team will follow up on some of them, as well as creating their own along the way. 

I've really appreciated the support over the years (decades 😳), and especially around the roadworks; you guys and girls rock!

I will still be about making videos and chatting here until early November.
If you do see me, do come over and say hi!

All the best, 

Rees.

We’re still not over last weekend 🖤✨

Hannah & Leon celebrated their love with the perfect blend of gothic romance and moody, timeless vibes. Every detail felt so them—from the retro guest book, where loved ones signed a vinyl record of their first dance, to the rich, romantic colour palette and the breathtaking florals by Nikki.

As the evening unfolded, guests sipped on handcrafted cocktails before filling the dance floor, ready to celebrate long into the night. There were so many thoughtful, personal touches woven throughout the day, but our favourite part was seeing Hannah and Leon smiling from ear to ear from beginning to end.

The room was filled with people who were all there for one reason: to celebrate two wonderful humans and the love they share. And what a celebration it was. 🖤

We didn't expect that!... 🫣 

Wow... what a fantastic day! ✨

We had such a lovely time meeting new couples and catching up with those already booked with us. We were thrilled to make multiple bookings, and it was wonderful to hear that the amazing suppliers who joined us also had great success – with even more to come, we're sure! That's exactly what we love to hear.

Open Days are one of our favourite events. They're the perfect opportunity to get to know our couples on a more personal level while strengthening relationships with our incredible wedding suppliers. We truly believe in community over competition – supporting one another and working together to create the most unforgettable day for every couple.

A huge thank you to our @overfarmgloucester catering team for keeping everyone well fed with a delicious selection of canapés, pies, pizzas and so much more. Everything was incredible! 🍕🥂

And finally, thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so special. We can't wait to welcome you back.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next Open Day 👀

Where to even begin! Over Barn made me feel magic the second we toured it and we booked it immediately! We attended every open day we could and each one showed how you can make this beautiful venue your very own. No wedding looks the same. We felt so supported by the team (especially Jordan who we worked closely with on making our day run smoothly and perfectly). The food is absolutely incredible and we still have guest talking to us about those pizzas! I simply cannot find the words to express how amazing everyone is at Over Barn and to anyone looking for a venue I would urge them to go for a tour and an open day! So many of our vendors had worked with the team before and seeing such familiar and positive relationships was touching. Additionally, we introduced a new vendor who felt welcomed and supported the moment they arrived. We cannot thank you enough for going above and beyond in everything you do! Amber & James

We visited the park yesterday with our 3yr old grandson who suffers with cerebral palsy along with a life limiting illness. He absolutely loved the bouncy pillows and especially feeding the various animals . He also loved the tractor tour . Staff all extremely friendly and helpful round the site . Our only complaint is , our grandson can’t walk so is in a pushchair . The pathways all through the park are made up of rocks , slate like stones etc , this made pushing the pushchair virtually impossible due to keep getting “stopped” by the wheels hitting these stones etc , which is very frustrating

Lovely day out with lots of different activities to keep everyone entertained. Entry price was slightly cheaper than other farms we looked at and it was really refreshing to have everything included in the price so the kids can just go on whatever they want (tractor rides, games etc) without parents worrying about how much extra they're spending. Our son was a big fan of the quad trailer ride!

Over farm a fun day out

Took my grandsons to the farm 3 & 6, didn’t think I’d be there long I was there all day with them. They didn’t want to leave. They loved the foam, the animals, tractor ride, quad bike ride, absolutely everything.

Loved It

First time here and it won't be the last. Plenty to do although there doesn't appear to be much to do if it was raining. Very varied items for the kids to play on/with and the two fellas that were driving the tractor and quad were brilliant especially when they unleashed the foam canon, awesome. We could have stayed longer but had other arrangements. It was busy but never felt full .

Great day out and value for money

Even on a hot bank holiday, Over Farm is a great place to go with it's big circular marquee where you can eat (own food or sensibly priced cafe) on picnic tables and benches. There was a dinosaur show with dinos walking around and entertaining people of all ages! The children LOVED the tractor and quad rides...and Gary (Rover from Over) was brilliant with the kids. We have been to a number of farm adventure places and we felt this one was the best value for money as we wanted to spend all day there.
