Winkworth Farm

Located on the Edge of The Cotswolds, near to the historic market town of Malmesbury the 12th-century Cotswold Stone farmstead is set in 220 acres of organic pasture. A group of barns were lovingly renovated in 2010 by local builders and craftsmen to embrace its ancient past and introduce environmentally friendly modern technology.

With well-established lawns, herbaceous borders, a stunning sunken garden and beautiful organic meadows, there are plenty of magical photographic opportunities to help you capture your special day.

Licensed for ceremonies, the Cotswold Stone Threshing Barn can seat 200 guests on one level, alternatively the adjoining Long Barn or Outside in the Cotswold Stone Roundhouse within the sunken garden can both host ceremonies for up to 150 guests. 

Malmesbury Abbey has also performed many wedding ceremonies for couples who are from outside of the local parish 

Every aspect of the occasion, from the water supply, air to air heat source are as eco-friendly as possible, with an excellent list of local suppliers providing sparkling wine to wedding cakes. 

We offer a choice of excellent caterers who are passionate about British produce, and using local suppliers. 

The venue is hired on an excluisve use basis to all couples 

Bed & Breakfast is available for 8-10 guests on site in The Farmhouse and Courtyard Barn .

Ample accommodation is available surrounding the farm from a Glamping Tipi site for twelve guests within walking distance, Holiday cottages for thirty guests in the village to Five Star luxury hotel outside Malmesbury. 

As a delightful final touch, a native tree is planted on the farm each November for every wedding or reception that takes place during the year.

    • 10 Dec 2011, Olivia Hagger rated Winkworth Farm  

      Beautiful, country venue
      We got married on 15 October 2011 and were delighted with Winkworth Farm. Melanie and Jeremy were really helpful throughout and kept everything running smoothly on the day. It is a lovely venue and it is clear that real thought went into the conversion. It is a much more sensible layout than other barns that we looked at. It is light and airy, with lots of great spots for photos and plenty of room for the different parts of the day. We had a fantastic time and were so pleased to be able to have our reception in such a beautiful location. Thoroughly recommended.

      An absolutely perfect, beautiful and relaxed venue
      We got married at Winkworth Farm on the 23rd October and cannot praise the venue and the staff highly enough. The sun shone and we were able to get married in the beautiful walled garden which was really special. Melanie and Jeremy were unbelievably helpful throughout the whole process and really helped us to achieve the relaxed, rustic wedding we had always dreamed of, even though we currently live in Scotland and had to organise the whole thing at a distance, thank you so much Winkworth Farm!

      Fab Venue for a Wedding
      We got married on the 21st Oct and had an amazing wedding at Winkworth Farm. We had a rather stressful few months before the wedding (including a date change due to a back operation) and Melanie and Jeremy were extremely accommodating and helpful at all times which really helped with the planning. The venue is beautiful and everyone commented on how stunning it was and asked how we found it. The venue has fantastic grounds and the service was very good on the day (Jeremy and the bar staff did a brilliant job and people commented on how reasonable the bar prices were). We loved every second of our wedding at Winkworth and would recommend it to anyone.

      An amazing place to get married
      We got married at Winkworth on 3rd September and cannot recommend it highly enough. The venue is stunning and Melanie and Jeremy could not do more to give you a perfect day. Being able to get married outside is very special. Thank you Winkworth for giving me my dream wedding!

      Outstanding Venue!
      We searched many venues throughout the Cotswolds, when we were recommended to go and see Winkworth Farm during renovations. We fell in love with the venue and were welcomed by the lovely owners Melanie and Jeremy. We had a fabulous winter wedding and the Newman's couldn't have been more accommodating. If we could do it all again we wouldn't hesitate in going back to Winkworth Farm.

      A perfect location for your wedding!
      We got married at Winkworth Farm recetnly and couldn't recommend it highly enough. It is a beautifual location with a variety of areas in which to host different parts of your day and lots of space to your guests. Jeremy and Melanie are great and really friendly and helpful. You get the freedom to design your own day as you want it and aren't pushed into anything. Can't fault it!

      The perfect venue!
      My husband and I fell in love with this venue the moment we saw it (and this was whilst the venue as it is today was still being built!). The grounds are stunning, the barn is beautiful and the Newman's could not have been more helpful and friendly both during the planning and on the day itself. I would strongly recommend that anyone planning their big day go take a look and I guarantee you'll leave having found your perfect wedding venue.

      The best wedding venue!
      From the moment we saw Winkworth Farm we knew it was the place for us (even though it was under construction at the time)! Jeremy and Melanie have done a fantastic job in making their farm the perfect wedding venue, from the beautiful country decor to the amazing organisation on the day. All of our guests asked us how we had found such a gem of a venue. Thank you Jeremy & Melanie for the best day of our lives xx

      A very special venue!
      Winkworth Farm is the perfect location for a wedding; the setting is truly stunning, there is plenty of space for all the guests and it is totally private without being too remote. Melanie and Jeremy are on top of everything and couldn't do more to help make your day just perfect. I would highly recommend Winkworth Farm for a wedding, you cant go wrong!

      Fantastic venue in a beautiful rural setting!
      We had a brilliant day and everything was very relaxed and well organised. Melanie and Jeremy were very helpful throughout, from the booking of the venue to the day itself. My family and friends have not stopped saying how much they enjoyed themselves, and that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. What better praise could there be?! Cannot recommend it highly enough.

      Most beautiful location - Wedding 30th July 2011
      This was the most beautiful location of all the venues we went to see (and believe me there were a few!) We picked Winkworth Farm even though it was 2 1/2 from where we lived and with Melanie and Jeremy's help it was easy! They couldn't do enough to help with every aspect. The preferred suppliers list was so helpful we used Manor Events who were amazing! We also used the Little Balloon Company and Oops a daisy and they were also amazing! I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants any type of beautiful wedding. Thanks Melanie and Jeremy! X
