The Old Cow Shed is a gorgeous barn-style wedding venue located in the middle of rural Leicestershire. This hidden gem is surrounded by rolling fields and countryside, offering a picture-perfect setting for any special occasion. Once a bustling working farm, the cow shed, stables, courtyard and paddock have now been converted into an awesome wedding venue. The property is owned and run by husband and wife team Helen and Simon, alongside a fantastic crew, who will be by your side every step of the way. They give every single one of their weddings their full attention and care. It is this personable approach which is why so many people book with them.
Facilities and Capacity
It's your big day, so the staff encourages you to take the lead in all decisions. For example, how would you like to use each space? With the Shed, the Courtyard and the Paddock to choose from, you get to choose where to say 'I do', feast, and party. Having hosted some of the best weddings of the last five years, the Old Cow Shed team can be trusted to steer you in the right direction, but they understand that this is your vision entirely. What's more, you can hire this gorgeous space for the whole weekend (Friday to Sunday), so you'll get to enjoy weekend celebrations with loved ones, removing any stress or the need to rush! This Big Weekender package is the venue's most popular, but there are also lesser-priced options to suit all requirements and budgets.
You and your closest guests can enjoy the benefit of staying at the venue, whether it's overnight or for the weekend. The Big Barn, which sleeps up to 10, houses the wedding party, plus there are three Carry-On-Camping Shepherd Huts and the newly renovated Lovers Lodge (sleeps 6).
Services Offered
The team at the Old Cow Shed are big believers that your wedding day should be one of the greatest days of your life, one full of fun, laughter, good times and most importantly, love. They have a string of great suppliers who they can recommend wholeheartedly to cover all aspects of your day. Or, if you know of any supplier sensation not on the list, that's OK too!
