Bake Barn Full Description
Bake Barn is a stunning threshing barn, sympathetically converted into one of Wiltshire’s premier wedding venues. With exposed roof timbers, stone walls, wooden floor, feature fire place and large arching glazed windows front and back framing the view onto the surrounding countryside. There is a professional catering kitchen with rear entrance for supplier deliveries. The separate lobby-entrance for guests has a cloakroom area, disabled, ladies and gents loos and stairs leading to the first floor. The spacious first floor room with metal beams and double-height ceiling, has a stylish, industrial, loft-style feel. There's a kitchenette, loo and second lobby leading to the rear of the barn. In front of the barn is an attractive, enclosed courtyard with a lawn, on which a sizable marquee can be placed if needed. On the opposite side of the courtyard is the Loggia, an open-fronted stone building with far-reaching views. Split into two halves; the first with an entrance from the parking area lends it’s self as a good location for a bar, the second houses overhead heaters and a huge fire bowl, ideal as a chill-out area. The whole venue is licensed for civil ceremonies, including the courtyard, Loggia, first floor room and main barn, allowing you total flexibility to say 'I do' wherever you want. * No noise restrictions * Access for 4 1/2 days * Dry hire * No supplier restrictions * No corkage * Licensed for civil ceremonies * Pet friendly * Camping area * Parking area * Guest lobby entrance * Cloakroom * Disabled, ladies & gents loos * Separate 1st floor loo * Good disabled access with ramps * Professional catering kitchen * Separate 1st floor kitchenette * Separate entrance for supplier deliveries * Large 1st floor room * Large courtyard * Lawn on which to erect a marquee * Loggia with fire bowl * Outside heaters & lighting * PA system * Projector * Private drive with security gate

We absolutely loved our day at Bake Barn
Bake Barn is absolutely beautiful, and was the ideal blank canvas for us to organise our day as the spaces are so flexible. We had both our ceremony and reception on site, as it was large enough for both a marquee outdoors and an indoor sit-down meal; Oonagh and the Fonthill Estate were so helpful when we were booking in suppliers and getting everything organised. We used the Fonthill arch and countryside by the Estate’s lake for our photos - the Barn’s location is fantastic. We loved celebrating our day there, it was the perfect venue for us.
Response from the venue
Dear Esme and Rob Thank you so much for taking the trouble to post such a lovely review, we really do appreciate it and were so glad to hear you had an amazing day. We wish you all the best for your future life together. Oonagh and the team at Fonthill Estate

Exactly what we were looking for
Bake Barn was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. A place that was a lovely setting, but also gave us the flexibility to have our own caterers, decor etc. The fact that we were able to hire for a full weekend meant that we were able to enjoy our time and prepare everything as we wanted rather than stressing about in and out in one day. The staff we had contact with at The Fonthill estate were brilliant with being so patient with any of our queries and helping us to use their venue as ne

We had the best day of our lives there!
Bake Barn is a stunning venue with so much flexibility to how you want your wedding / event to be. Having the hire for 5 days is fantastic to allow plenty of time to set up and of course tidy up! The estate were very flexible with our requirements and were accommodating at all times when we wanted to view the venue a few times beforehand. Lu was great at keeping in touch and very professional on the day to ensure things ran smoothly. The floor in the hall is expertly maintained, a dance floor is a requirement though. The estate provided plenty of external caterers but were more than happy to go with whoever we chose ourselves. It really is a superb blank canvas to make it how you want it to be. We had the best day of our lives there!

Beautiful venue
I want to do it all over again - the venue and setting was beautiful! I can’t thank Lu and Vicky enough - they were incredibly helpful from start to end! I would definitely recommend anyone to have their wedding at Bake Barn! The only thing I would say is that travel after the event was a bit of pain. As it’s fairly remote taxi’s that were available were booked up very quickly and had extra costs for coming out of their area. Make sure your guests know that and make plans in advance! But otherwise 10/10!

you are free to do what you want with the space
We would highly recommend bake barn to anyone who is thinking of using it. The staff were all very helpful by providing lots of information about potential suppliers and accommodation for the surrounding area. The barn is very well set up as a dry hire as you are free to do what you want with the space. The barn is so beautiful we found we didn’t need to do to much to make it look lovely on the day. We would recommend to anyone thinking of using it as a venue!
