The Great Barn

Nestled in a pretty country valley, a church tower punctuating the backdrop of mature trees, the Great Barn offers a modern wedding in a classically romantic location. 

Situated in the heart of a medieval courtyard, the fifteenth century Barn has been restored via award-winning architectural design to create a sublime wedding venue.

The 45ft vaulted oak ceiling evokes the atmosphere of a cathedral while the slim windows and adjoining sixteenth century Roundhouse are a nod to its origins. The detail, however, is entirely modern: contemporary furnishings and the chic simplicity of the interiors allow you to put your own stamp on your day; underfloor heating emanates from beneath the slate and elm floors, while state of the art lighting and sound technology allows for a change of mood at the flick of a switch.

The soft glow of the low-lit Barn sets a dreamy ambience for a civil ceremony. Couples planning a church ceremony may choose to marry at Ashton Church, which is just a short stroll down a country lane.

Toast your union in the beautiful walled gardens .In poor weather, a traditional canvas marquee makes a perfect setting for a drinks reception.

The Great Barn accommodates up to 190 guests for the wedding breakfast and the adjoining Roundhouse makes an ideal space for a bar or chill out area. In keeping with the venue’s ethos of style and quality, a selection of caterers has been handpicked for their excellent standard of cuisine and service, ensuring a delectable menu tailored to your tastes and budget.

Just a few feet from the Barn, Courtyard Cottage serves as a cosy setting for the bridal party to make their preparations, a sanctuary for young children to nap during the festivities or a comfortable bolthole for you to spend your first night as newly weds.
From low-key to lavish, this truly distinctive venue invites you to pour your personalities into your wedding day – and relish every beautiful moment.
