South Surrey Event Venue & Farm


A red house with a black roof and multiple skylights is situated in a rural area with fields and trees. The sky is mostly clear with a few thin clouds, and the scene appears to be during late afternoon or early evening.

Our Story

Common Ground Farms is a family-led restoration project rooted in agriculture, community, and the belief that beautiful things happen when people come together.

Originally built in 1991 as a polo clubhouse, our red barn was once the heart of a thriving equestrian property. Riders gathered here after long days on the field, guests lingered over conversation, and the land held space for connection in its own quiet way.

Decades later, that purpose still feels the same.

Today, we’re restoring the barn, reviving the farmland, and thoughtfully shaping Common Ground Farms into a place for weddings, markets, workshops, creative projects, wellness experiences, corporate gatherings, and the kinds of moments people remember for years.

Hi, we’re Craig & Emma

A smiling woman in a cream-colored sleeveless top and white skirt, and a man in a black long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, standing in a grassy field with trees in the background, with a large dog with black, brown, and gray fur in front of them.

We’re both born and raised in Surrey, high school sweethearts, entrepreneurs, and people who genuinely love bringing others together.

Craig’s world has always been rooted in farming and agriculture. Emma’s has always lived in creativity, storytelling, and community. Somehow, this property became the place where all of those pieces met.

Common Ground Farms is our way of honouring the land’s history while creating something new for the next generation of gatherings.

The Red Barn

More than a venue, the barn has always been a place where people come together. Built in 1991 as a polo clubhouse and lovingly restored today, it continues its original purpose—bringing people together to celebrate, create, connect, and make memories that linger long after the lights go out.

Outside Gathering Spaces

Some of the best moments happen outside the schedule. Wander the fields, gather beneath the trees, watch the sun disappear behind the mountains, or simply enjoy the quiet that only open farmland can offer. Here, the landscape becomes part of every gathering.
