Encompassing over 90 acres in Burlington, Little Britain Carriage House is a popular wedding venue with a unique rustic charm that has a lot to do with its founder’s avid antique collection.

For over thirty years Charles England acquired interesting and rare items from across the world, some dating back thousands of years. England’s collection is now the backdrop for local ceremonies and gatherings, on display in cabinets and shelves inside the NKY horse farm.
