As one of the leading wedding venues in Oxfordshire, The Tythe Barn offers a blend of heritage, style, and comfort that’s hard to match. Set in tranquil Oxfordshire countryside, our beautifully restored barn provides a truly unique setting for couples looking for an unforgettable wedding venue.

Step inside the main barn and you’ll find soaring oak beams, centuries-old stone walls, and a spacious, light-filled interior—an authentic Oxfordshire backdrop for both ceremonies and wedding receptions. The barn’s thoughtful design allows for seamless transitions between different parts of your day, whether you’re planning a large celebration or a more intimate gathering.

Alongside the main barn, a collection of characterful outbuildings adds even more versatility. There’s space for relaxed pre-wedding preparations, drinks with friends, or simply a quiet moment to yourselves as newlyweds. At Tythe, you’ll enjoy exclusive use of the entire venue, meaning every detail and every corner of the estate is yours to enjoy with your guests.

What makes Tythe special among Oxfordshire wedding venues is our commitment to preserving the charm of our historic barns while offering the comfort and flexibility modern couples need. From the first glimpse of the barn to the final farewell, you’ll find an atmosphere that is both welcoming and truly unique to Oxfordshire.

Ceremony & Reception Spaces

Every wedding at The Tythe Barn is shaped by the unique character of our spaces and the flexibility we offer to couples. The main barn is the centrepiece of the venue—spacious, full of natural light, and beautifully appointed to host both your ceremony and wedding breakfast. Its soaring roof, exposed beams, and original stonework create a sense of occasion, while the layout adapts easily for celebrations of all sizes.

For civil ceremonies, the barn provides a timeless and romantic setting, with the option to arrange the space just as you wish—whether you imagine a traditional aisle, a circular seating arrangement, or something entirely bespoke. When it’s time for your reception, the barn transforms effortlessly, offering plenty of room for dining, speeches, and dancing as the evening unfolds.

If you’d like to take your vows outdoors, our landscaped gardens and sheltered courtyard offer an alternative backdrop. Picture a summer ceremony beneath open skies or a drinks reception surrounded by mature trees and the gentle Oxfordshire countryside.

Our venue is designed with flow and comfort in mind, making it easy for guests to move between spaces and enjoy every moment, from your first look to your last dance. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic romance of the barn or the fresh air of the gardens, Tythe provides the perfect canvas for your Oxfordshire wedding.

A wedding at Tythe is not just a single day, but an experience you can savour from start to finish. Our on-site accommodation allows couples and their closest guests to enjoy the comfort and privacy of staying right at the heart of the venue, without the need for late-night taxis or splitting up after the celebration.

The Farmhouse sits just steps from the main barn—a beautifully restored country home offering a warm welcome and plenty of space for families or the entire wedding party. With generous bedrooms, inviting communal areas, and a style that balances rustic Oxfordshire character with relaxed, contemporary touches, The Farmhouse is ideal for both unwinding the night before and preparing together on the big day itself.

For couples who want a little more seclusion, our Shepherd’s Hut is tucked away within the grounds—a private hideaway perfect for that first night as newlyweds. With its cosy interior, soft lighting, and tranquil views across the gardens, it’s designed for quiet moments and a gentle start to married life.

Staying at Tythe means the celebration doesn’t have to end with the final song. You and your guests can linger over breakfast, share stories in the farmhouse kitchen, and enjoy the peaceful pace of the countryside before heading home. With everything you need in one place, your Oxfordshire wedding flows naturally, letting you focus on what matters most—each other and your loved ones.

“The Farmhouse – where to begin. This was such a great part of our experience and really helped to make the wedding morning relaxing. It was so nice to spend extra time with our family and friends and The Farmhouse itself is absolutely stunning. From the bath tubs, to the grounds, to the hot tub, bridal prep area, champagne bar, stunning kitchen area, every little bit of it has been so carefully thought through and nothing missed.”
