The Tithe Barn
The Tithe Barn blends historic charm with rustic elegance, offering a truly unique setting for weddings. Set in beautifully manicured gardens, this 800-year-old barn provides an unforgettable backdrop for both ceremonies and celebrations.
The venue’s most striking space, the Kingfisher Suite, serves as the bridal preparation room. With its original mullion windows, period fireplace, and views over the riverside terrace, it offers a luxurious and serene space for the bridal party to get ready.
Couples can choose between a local church ceremony or saying their vows in the atmospheric barn itself. With a capacity of up to 90 guests for the vows and 120 for evening receptions, the barn balances intimacy and grandeur. The in-house wedding team is dedicated to creating a magical experience tailored to each couple.
Catering is fully customisable, with the resident chef working closely with couples to design their ideal wedding breakfast – whether it’s a relaxed street food spread or a formal, sit-down meal. A variety of evening food options are also available to keep guests fuelled for the night ahead.
When it’s time to celebrate, the barn transforms into the perfect party space. Whether it’s live music or a DJ-led dancefloor, the venue is well versed in hosting unforgettable receptions.
As the day winds down, couples can enjoy a romantic retreat, slipping into a roll-top bath with a bottle of Champagne – adding the perfect finishing touch to a day filled with love and celebration.
