Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Great Tythe Barn is a beautifully restored 17th-century Grade II listed barn that offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding day. Combining historic Cotswold stone charm with modern comforts, the venue provides a stunning and versatile backdrop for celebrations of all sizes.

With onsite accommodation for up to 90 guests, you and your loved ones can enjoy a relaxed wedding experience all in one place. At the centre of the accommodation is the luxurious Tythe House, a manor house sleeping up to 16 guests, complete with a light-filled orangery — ideal for getting ready with your wedding party on the morning of the big day.

Located in Gloucestershire near Tetbury, The Great Tythe Barn is easily accessible from Wiltshire, Bristol, and the surrounding Cotswold towns.

Your Wedding at The Great Tythe Barn

Your day begins with a relaxed morning preparing onsite with your closest friends and family, while our friendly wedding coordinators are on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The barn can host indoor ceremonies for up to 200 guests, or in warmer months you may choose to say your vows outdoors beneath the charming Oak Pavilion.

After your ceremony and confetti moment, guests can enjoy a drinks reception on the beautiful lawn or in the barn’s gallery, with delicious canapés served by one of our trusted catering partners. Our thoughtful layout ensures celebrations flow seamlessly whatever the weather.

Meanwhile, the barn will be transformed for your wedding breakfast. Its flexible layout allows for a variety of seating styles, and many couples choose to enjoy a private first look before inviting guests inside.

Our carefully selected caterers offer a wide range of menu options, from elegant three-course meals to relaxed sharing feasts or BBQ-style dining.

In the evening, The Great Tythe Barn transforms into a lively reception space for up to 350 guests, complete with a stage and wooden dance floor — perfect for bands, DJs, and dancing the night away. Evening food will be served to keep the celebrations going.

At the end of the night, you and your guests can retire to the comfort of the onsite accommodation, including charming cottages, B&B rooms, and the Tythe House.

From morning preparations to the final dance, The Great Tythe Barn offers everything you need for a seamless and unforgettable Cotswold wedding.

Beyond gorgeous wedding venue!

What an incredible wedding venue! From the moment we first visited two years ago, we fell in love, in fact, it was the only venue we viewed!!! Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process and the barn itself, along with the beautiful grounds, made it feel so special.

One of the things that really drew us to the venue was the ample on-site accommodation, which was perfect for our guests. The team were absolutely incredible on the day with a special shout out to Hannah, our wedding coordinator, who made everything run so smoothly with such a calm, easy-going vibe.

It truly was beyond perfect and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding. Thank you soooo sooo sooo much guys!

Beautiful venue

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue for our wedding day. From the moment we booked, the staff at The Great Tythe Barn were incredible, supporting us every step of the way. Their experience and guidance were invaluable, offering helpful tips and suggestions for things we hadn't even considered.
The venue itself is stunning, with a fantastic layout and plenty of space for guests to relax and enjoy the day. The on-site cottages and B&B rooms were a huge bonus, allowing many of our guests to stay overnight and make the most of the celebrations.
The value for money is exceptional, and the team truly goes above and beyond to help make your day run smoothly. They worked closely with us on timings and logistics, ensuring we could fit everything we wanted into our schedule without feeling rushed.
There are also beautiful grounds that provide the perfect backdrop for private photos with your photographer. Whether you're planning an indoor or outdoor ceremony, the venue offers wonderful options, and the wedding planners are incredibly accommodating and flexible with your choices.
We are so grateful to The Great Tythe Barn team for helping create such a perfect day. We would recommend this venue without hesitation to any couple looking for a stunning venue, outstanding service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.

Stunning venue

We had so many compliments about the choice of venue for our wedding. But it was a no brainer to us.
Absolutely stunning grounds, the staff are just so helpful- happy to answer any queries and always do so in a timely manner which helps with the stress of wedding planning. No question is too silly. Their wedding packages suit most budgets so anyone can have the day they dreamed of. We stayed in the Kiln Cottage and it was beautiful- and so close to the main building that stumbling to bed wasn't a huge effort!

Amazing Cotswolds venue and accommodation!

Great Tythe Barn was an amazing venue for our wedding. It is absolutely beautiful, has plenty of space both inside and out, and was perfect for our winter wedding. We loved the fact that us and lots of our guests could stay on site, and this made for a really social atmosphere, and meant we could continue the party in our accommodation even after the bar closed. Also the refurb of the wedding barn and accommodation made the space even nicer, and our guests really enjoyed our Cotswold wedding.
The staff were brilliant in the lead-up to our big day, and were really responsive to communication which was so helpful as we had lots of questions. No wonder they have won multiple awards! Thank you so much to Hannah, Tracey and the team.

The perfect wedding venue

What can I say, well, as the groom the experience from beginning to end was brilliant, professionally delivered and on the day all the staff delivered. Love and thanks to Tracey, Hannah, Rhoda, Meg, Jack and all the staff for helping to deliver a memorable day. Highly recommended if you want a day to remember!

The most perfect venue

From the moment we saw TGB I knew it was the perfect place for our big day. The barn and grounds are stunning, there was plenty of accommodation including the fantastic house, and the staff were absolutely top notch. Everyone we dealt with from start to finish was so helpful and organised. The day went incredibly smoothly and everyone just loved it. It was truly magical, from the garden setting for the ceremony to the gorgeous barn for our party and the amazing photo locations. We absolutely loved having our wedding here and I would highly recommend!

Couldn't have asked for a better venue to get married.

The most perfect venue to get married, we cannot recommend the Great Tythe Barn highly enough. Tracey, Poppy, Jac and the whole team were absolutely amazing from the day we visited for the first time until the day we got married. No question was ever too much and they constantly had a positive "can do" attitude.
The barn and its surrounding gardens are absolutely stunning. We got married outside on the lawn and it was absolutely spectacular. We had 170 guests and it to a person, all of them complimented the venue to us.
This was the perfect wedding venue and every small detail made this the best day of our lives.
Thank you Tracey & Team!

Relaxed yet refined barn wedding venue

We chose the Great Tythe Barn for our winter wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the venue, accommodation, and staff. Everything was well organised and beautifully managed. We chose the venue for its onsite accommodation for our guests and the traditional but beautifully converted barn venue. The Tythe House is a lovely Georgian property and made the perfect bridal party accommodation. We are particularly grateful to our wedding coordinator Rosie who was a joy to work with in the lead up to the day (no question too much trouble!) and on the day itself. Everyone at GTB does a brilliant job of making this a relaxed yet refined country wedding venue.

Absolutely amazing venue

This venue ticked so many boxes for us. It had enough accommodation for 90 of our guests in B&B rooms, cottages and the Tythe House, so we were able to make a whole weekend of our celebrations. The venue is beautiful, the caterer (Fosters) provided the best food and the team at the barn are fantastic. I'm from a hospitality background and know how things work and these guys are professionals...you can leave it all in their hands and enjoy your day! I'd love to do it all again! Definitely recommend!

Amazing staff!

The girls were so friendly and welcoming - they really made us feel comfortable from the first day we met them. They gave us the flexibility to let us run our day exactly how we wanted it to run, yet still giving us great advice and guidance along the way

The Perfect Venue

The staff were amazing - always had time to help with any queries and provide
advice/support. Place itself was lovely setting, did not need too much of own decoration due to the splendor of the barn. It was also perfect for accommodation on site, great for all our
guests. It was the right sized venue - not too big or small, walkable distance to Tetbury

We are considering this as a wedding venue

My partner I are currently considering the GTB as a potential venue for our wedding.

Does anyone have any recent experience of it as a wedding venue? I'm concerned by comments on Trip Advisor...
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
