Description

Nestled on the England-Wales border near the picturesque village of Llansilin, Powys, Barnutopia is a countryside wedding venue where rustic charm meets exceptional convenience. Surrounded by the breathtaking Shropshire and Powys hills, Barnutopia’s beautifully restored barns and luxury glamping yurts and cabins create a storybook setting for unforgettable celebrations. Our spacious, licensed wedding barn seats up to 120 guests, offering a perfect indoor space, while the adjacent Dutch barn provides an ideal sheltered spot for drink receptions—complete with fire pits, garden seating, and dry bar. Whether celebrating with a cozy campfire under the stars or exchanging vows against the rolling hills, every moment here is designed to capture the beauty of the countryside. With mini cows, donkeys, pigs, sheep, and cats as part of the experience, Barnutopia combines nature and comfort in an extraordinary venue. Couples seeking a church ceremony can tie the knot nearby at St. Silin's church, a charming walk along a leafy lane. Since opening as a glamping site in 2015, Barnutopia has evolved into a unique event space, obtaining its wedding license in 2017. With a passion for creating cherished memories, Barnutopia is a truly special place to begin your journey together.

Perfect weekend

We recently had our wedding at Barnutopia and can not recommend it enough! The weekend was PERFECT and the team were incredible from start to finish. We booked to see the site and had a tour from both Donna and Katrina. We had the catering through Barnutopia and it was delicious and served with professionalism. The rooms were clean and warm, each person was made to feel and part of the family for the whole weekend. Perfect for a rustic wedding, with an intimate feel and ahighly personal touch.

Well fed

We had our wedding at Barnutopia and I'd like to say thanks to Kat, Donna and the team for making sure that our special day ran perfectly and that we were well fed throughout. Donna was absolutely brilliant as the event manager. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Wonderful time

We got married here and had such a wonderful time. From making our initial enquiry, going to see the place through to our wedding day itself everything was really easy and straightforward, excellent communication throughout. Our wedding day was the best fun. It's in such a beautiful location and all the staff were really helpful and kind (big thanks especially to Donna and Katrina).

The perfect hosts

We had our wedding at barnutopia in August and we can't recommend this venue and staff enough. Katrina and Steve were the perfect hosts from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Nothing was too much for them. The weather was brilliant and even when the heavens opened later in the evening, everything was in hand. Thankyou all for an awesome day.

Location is beautiful and accommodation fantastic

My husband Paul and I chose Barnutopia as our wedding venue, taking place last weekend. We cannot praise this venue enough. Katrina, Steve and their family are so warm and friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to make their guests’ stay special. Our wedding day was exactly as we imagined it would be, which was largely due to their advice help and support over 18 months. The location is beautiful and accommodation is fantastic for a glamping weekend. We can’t wait to visit Barnutopia again in the future and would highly recommend this venue for weddings and other large events as well as family holidays. Thank you.

The most perfect venue

Thank you for the most perfect venue for our wedding. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect setting. And the fact October weather managed to hold up enough for us to get married outside was amazing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the Ruell-Jones’

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Barnutopia Glamping & Venue?

Ooh, that's a hard one. Every event, party and wedding is different. We love seeing how the barn is transformed for each one. Probably the highlight so far is the first wedding that was filmed for an an ITV series following British businesses through their first year. Barnutopia is one of the success stories.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book the venue and registrar and don't worry about the rest. It's a bit like going on holiday, as long as you have the essentials (a place to sleep and clean underwear) everything else will sort itself out. At our very first wedding the evening caterers (booked by the bride, phew, not us) failed to turn up. We ran into town and bought a load of burgers, chicken fillets and pizzas and fed 65+ hungry guests within an hour or so. It turned into a fabulous evening.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Another hard one. The weddings and events we have at Barnutopia are almost always DIY and full of personal touches. The first reception had hundreds of pom poms and decorations made by the whole family, a birthday party had an illuminated sign made from cardboard and fairly lights, a wedding party had a bounce house and the bride managed to bounce herself out of it (no damage done!) It's lovely to see what folks thing of.

Describe Barnutopia Glamping & Venue in 5 adjectives

Unique, beautiful, friendly, well-equipped, memorable.

Where’s the best photo spot at Barnutopia Glamping & Venue?

With views in every direction you can choose almost any spot. However, looking out from the yurt field takes some beating.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Barnutopia Glamping & Venue?

Baroness Karren Brady attended the very first wedding in August 2017.

What’s your favourite canapé?

Katrina loves most savoury treats. We do an excellent selection of canapes if you decide to go with us for catering, but there is no obligation. You are welcome to bring in outside cateters.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Red wine and popcorn. Not very sophisticated. But it is midnight, after all.

What is Barnutopia Glamping & Venue most unique feature?

According to our guests it would be the stunning views and outdoor ceremony spaces, yurts and yurt field, the event barn, the relaxed vibe and the animals.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Oh golly. We are passionate about every part of our business and work hard to make it a welcoming, comfortable and practical venue. We are very proud that we have achieved and have been rewarded by 5-star guest reviews.
