The Ridgeway Barns Full Description
The Ridgeway Barns is an exclusive wedding and events venue nestled in the heart of the North Wessex Downs, on the borders of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and West Berkshire. We specialise in three-day exclusive hire with farmhouse accommodation for up to 15 guests, to allow you to really make the most of your celebrations. We pride ourselves on creating a home-from-home atmosphere, giving you the time to gather with friends and family, and beautiful spaces in which you can celebrate. Whether you’re after an intimate wedding in the farmhouse, you want to party the night away in our 19th century threshing barn, or a marquee to make the most of the stunning views from the landscaped garden, we aim to provide you with the flexibility and support to curate your day ~ your way. Our dedicated events team will work with you to curate the day of your dreams, supporting you throughout your planning and working discretely to ensure your event runs smoothly on your big day. We are fully licenced for indoor and outdoor ceremonies, sale of alcohol and entertainment. Choose an intimate indoor ceremony for your nearest and dearest, or a larger outdoor celebration under our gorgeous oak-framed gazebo while enjoying views down the valley. Keep it small and dine in the farmhouse, or hire the barn or a marquee to expand your celebrations. And if one day just isn't enough, invite everyone back the next day for a casual brunch or BBQ!

Everything was magnificent
My daughter had her wedding reception there on Tuesday. We couldn't fault the venue, the staff or the overnight accommodation. Everything was magnificent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to hold their special event.

The Perfectly Flexible Wedding (even on a budget)
We booked the Ridgeway Barns quite early on in the renovations and our faith was rewarded. It came together as a truly beautiful venue, Louisa and her team made everything come together perfectly, and Louisa in particular made sure all our needs were met even when our choices or budgets had to change. The location, size and aesthetic of the place were mindblowing but was well within our budget. It had the feel and quality that you would have to pay extortionately to achieve elsewhere - and that's before even considering we had it from Tuesday to Thursday and slept almost half the guests in the house! This place is a no brainer to book, any time of year, for any type of budget, for any style of wedding it really has that much flexibility with the barn itself, the gardens, and the close personal ambiance the house has. It was literally perfect for our wedding as we wanted a smaller much more relaxed wedding. A lot of our guests stayed and they took full advantage with most of them taking naps in their rooms during such a long day. We had an open self supplied bar, a buffet plus some extra food we provided, and just generally it was small intimate but so relaxed and fun.

Our day was exactly how we imagined
We can't believe it's already been 5 months but we just wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing day that The Ridgeway Barns gave us! Despite the storm, our day was exactly how we imagined and we couldn't have asked for anymore. Our family and friends were so impressed with the venue, we had compliments all around. We have been following your socials and think you're doing an amazing job with developing the venue. we're sure 2024 will be even better than last year for you.
