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.

I wish we could do it all over again

The day was seamless for us. We honestly could not have asked for more. Everyone was so helpful but not intrusive. Lizzie really helped me in the morning by doing a run through with me and she popped in throughout to make sure there was nothing we needed. I was so calm and able to enjoy it all because of her support. We have just received our photos back and all the photos are incredible because of the wonderful setting. Although it sounds cliche - i wish we could do it all over again

As soon as we walking into the venue we INSTANTLY knew it was the venue for us. Not only was it the venue, but it was the staff and the package offering that made it irresistible for us. 10/10 faultless. the grounds were amazing, so tidy, excellent facilities. considering how many weddings you have we felt valued and never felt like a number. you've got it down to a t in terms of check in / check out. Special shout out to Lizzie who was the best support for us and everyone. you know she loves her job and shes so good at it, always 1 step ahead with what i needed <3

Had lots of compliments

We loved the venue, was specifically looking for a barn. It had lots of character, was cosy and we loved the outdoor courtyard area. Really enjoyed all the food provided. Had lots of compliments on the day about the food as well about how good it was. Extra brownie points for the sticky toffee pudding! The team were great, Lizzie was always on hand throughout the day.

We genuinely feel from start to finish ... this was a perfect day!

First venue we visited in person and when we walked in we both knew it was "the one". The experience received from Sophie and the wider team throughout - felt extremely personal, and there appeared to be nothing too big or too small in order to make our special day perfect. We genuinely feel from start to finish ... this was a perfect day! The team was spot on, we could not fault a thing and our guests were also complimentary of their experience

Very Beautiful

The venue was very beautiful, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. They took the time to sit down and explain everything to us. We loved that we got an information pack regarding the venue. For us having somewhere to stay was really important, and we loved having the accommodation on site for us and our family, we also loved that we could both get ready at the venue in the morning too. We just fell in love with the overall feeling of Winters Barns. The day was amazing, we couldn’t have wished for anything more! Sophie was so helpful and made us feel super relaxed all day, we knew everything was under control with her in charge. She’s amazing! The grounds were stunning, the sun was shining which made it even more beautiful! We honestly couldn’t fault the staff, they were all so attentive and friendly

All the staff were amazing.

A beautiful venue, with the look and feel we wanted for our day. A rustic and romantic feel and just felt so at ease from the minute we walked through the main door. Our day was seamless and perfect! The team made our day so easy and I didn't feel stressed at all, Lizzie even grabbed my sandals for me so I could change out of my heels. All the staff were amazing.

Winters barns is a magical place

Winters barns is a magical place. Not only does it have history but also has character. Everywhere you look you can see something new and hosts an array of areas to suit everyone. The upkeep winters barns give is impressive with its beautiful gardens and majestic settings. The layout is perfect and with the added bonus of the bridal and pump rooms makes it ideal along with the onsite accommodations. Truly a magical Venue that imprints lasting memories of a lifetime.
