Relaxed yet refined barn wedding venue

We chose the Great Tythe Barn for our winter wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the venue, accommodation, and staff. Everything was well organised and beautifully managed. We chose the venue for its onsite accommodation for our guests and the traditional but beautifully converted barn venue. The Tythe House is a lovely Georgian property and made the perfect bridal party accommodation. We are particularly grateful to our wedding coordinator Rosie who was a joy to work with in the lead up to the day (no question too much trouble!) and on the day itself. Everyone at GTB does a brilliant job of making this a relaxed yet refined country wedding venue.

Wedding 2022

Great value. Staff were very helpful and considerate to our needs. Amazing wedding venue has everything we needed. We got married during covid and the staff tried their hardest to make it work for us even furring difficult times

Absolutely amazing venue

This venue ticked so many boxes for us. It had enough accommodation for 90 of our guests in B&B rooms, cottages and the Tythe House, so we were able to make a whole weekend of our celebrations. The venue is beautiful, the caterer (Fosters) provided the best food and the team at the barn are fantastic. I'm from a hospitality background and know how things work and these guys are professionals...you can leave it all in their hands and enjoy your day! I'd love to do it all again! Definitely recommend!

Amazing staff!

The girls were so friendly and welcoming - they really made us feel comfortable from the first day we met them. They gave us the flexibility to let us run our day exactly how we wanted it to run, yet still giving us great advice and guidance along the way

The Perfect Venue

The staff were amazing - always had time to help with any queries and provide
advice/support. Place itself was lovely setting, did not need too much of own decoration due to the splendor of the barn. It was also perfect for accommodation on site, great for all our
guests. It was the right sized venue - not too big or small, walkable distance to Tetbury

We are considering this as a wedding venue

My partner I are currently considering the GTB as a potential venue for our wedding.

Does anyone have any recent experience of it as a wedding venue? I'm concerned by comments on Trip Advisor...

Big Thank You

We just wanted to email to say a big thank you to everyone involved for making our wedding day so hassle-free! It all went swimmingly and neither if us would change a single thing if we had to do it all over again.

We found everyone up to and on the big day incredibly helpful and professional and everyone commented on the setting of the wedding and the wonderful food so thank you so much.

Thanks again and best regards
