The wedding, performance, and event venue, Ancient City Farmstead, offers luxury in a country setting, just a short drive from St. Augustine's downtown and the hotels at World Golf Village. This venue can accommodate large and small events. 

The Property

Ancient City Farmstead sits on several acres of fenced pastureland, surrounded by 1,500 acres of Florida forest. The barn and stables are arranged in an L-shape, and the charming green, two-story farmhouse sits apart, with a view of the barns. The restored buildings—barn, stables, and home—offer comfort, elegance, and diverse spaces for a variety of events. The venue has a large parking lot, ensuring your guests and attendees have room to park.

Community Events and Fundraisers

The farmstead is the new home of the St. Augustine Food and Wine Festival, local fundraisers, and the Christmas Experience. In addition, the event space hosts rodeos, markets, and concerts. The owners and staff can help you plan events and fundraisers—give them a call to book a tour.

Corporate Events

Ancient City Farmstead can help you create a winning corporate event that's elegant, rustic, or a combination of the two. The facility is a short drive from World Golf Village and the historic downtown area, has ample parking, and can provide space and services for activities, dinner, live music, dancing, and lawn games.
