Priory Farm Estate
Priory Farm nestles deep in the beautiful Surrey countryside, and yet is easily accessible by road, rail and air. Bought by John and Wendy Shinner in 1957 and now run by their elder son Nic, until the early 1990’s it was a traditional working farm and a major supplier to the food industry.
About Priory Farm
About Priory Farm Estate
Over the years, Priory Farm has seen many changes. We have reared pigs, chickens and sheep, farmed crops and been a leading ‘pick your own’ destination.
Today, Priory Farm is home to the award-winning Priory Farm Shop, the Discovery Walk nature trail and visitor attraction, and a host of independent businesses accommodated in skillfully-converted farm buildings.
Finished in 2019, The Lambing Barn is an original barn which, in our farming days, was used to provide shelter and warmth to ewes and newborn lambs. The Lambing Barn is located in a quiet area of the farm and has its own, private car park.
It has been sympathetically converted to a wedding, party and conference venue by John Shinner’s grandson Jeremy Shinner, a highly-skilled carpenter, and an expert team of craftspeople. We’re really delighted with the results – a timber building which is very much part of the Priory Farm story, restored, modernised and now available as a rural venue for hire.

Although located away from the hustle and bustle of Priory Farm Shop and Discovery Walk, The Lambing Barn is just a couple of minutes’ drive up the lane. This means they are very convenient for a visit as part of your time here at the farm.
In fact, they are well worth a look!
Priory Farm Shop is a huge destination for foodies, with a vast selection of locally-sourced food and drink, from cheese to beer, Surrey’s own gins, freshly-baked bread and much more.
The Discovery Walk is an interactive nature trail, perfect for younger families wanting to explore Priory Farm, with fun and surprises around every corner.
