- TTom and Rebecca27/09/2025Absolutely PerfectAbsolutely PerfectGildings Barns hosted our wedding this August and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful, yet rustic and relaxed, which really helped set the tone for the day. Despite hosting over 100 guests during our meal, the barn stayed cool and never felt overcrowded. The venue also has multiple side areas such as a covered terrace, granary and side barn, which was great for guests who wished to have a quiet moment to themselves.
