Whether you are planning an intimate civil ceremony, or a more lavish, opulent reception, Winters Barns offers versatile function rooms to accommodate all your requirements. The L-shaped barns, with the ceremony room at one end and the reception room at the other, mean that you can enjoy a wedding at the venue whatever the weather. The ceremony room and wedding breakfast barn both seat up to 150 guests, while the whole area can hold up to 225 for an evening reception. After the ceremony, while you are enjoying your drinks reception, we will clear the ceremony room to make way for the couple’s first dance and the party can really get started! We believe a wedding should remain completely private and we limit ourselves to one wedding each day. You can be assured of getting our personal and individual attention without any distractions.

"everything run perfectly"

Beautiful, natural, rustic and adaptable space. Instantly loved the venue, inside and out, and knew whatever the weather we could adapt our day to be perfect. Excellent and prompt communication throughout. The wedding day was faultless and perfect. We could not have asked for a better team and venue. Thank you to the whole team, and especially Sally, who made everything run perfectly.

We knew our wedding was in the best hands!

Our first impressions were that the venue was from a fairytale! The fairy lights looked stunning and the courtyard was so romantic. The indoor and outdoor ceremony locations were both beautiful that we knew if the weather didn't permit us having an outdoor wedding, the indoor location was just as stunning. The team and grounds were everything we dreamed of. We love you guys and the venue!

We loved the venue from the beginning!

We loved the venue from the beginning! Lots of little details had been thought about such a the bar being next to the dance floor, speakers around outside as well, air conditioning, nicely stocked bar, plenty of seating outside. We also wanted on site accommodation. We really liked Sally who showed us around as she was so friendly and gave us a really good tour and wasn’t too pushy. We can’t thank you enough for making the day run so smoothly and we felt so safe and didn’t worry about anything!

10/10

We loved that you were an all in one venue. You had the space to get ready separately, get married at the venue, entertain in a separate space & stay the night. Not all other venues we looked at could offer this & the actual venue is also beautiful. The whole team created an unforgettable day, we couldn’t thank them enough . Having an event organiser (Sally) really does take all the stress out of the day. 10/10

"like to reiterate that we are beyond grateful"

It was the best day of our lives. We wouldn't have changed a single thing. The venue, the food, everything was perfect. I am the most stressed person in the world and I was so calm and relaxed, and it was all down to the staff at Winters Barns. Sophie was the most incredible wedding coordinator; she got us immediately and was on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly. She even sewed a dress for us! What a legend! We would like to send the biggest thank you to Sophie.

I can’t thank winters barns enough.....

I was just blown away with how beautiful the barn its self was as well as the grounds. I like that everything was separate and there was loads of space. I really like the fact the fairy lights were all included. The staff were so welcoming from the get go. I just instantly felt that it was the one. Blown away with how amazing Winters Barns were. I can’t thank winters barns enough for the most beautiful day.

The team were the best communicators of any venue.

Stunning venue. Good spaces for both wedding breakfast, entertainment, bar and great outside space. Winters Barn, Sophie and the team were the best communicators of any venue we looked at, and that didn’t stop once we had booked and decided to go ahead. The day was absolutely incredible. NOTHING could have been better. Sophie and the team helped us have the best day of our lives!
