Description

Tinkers Barn Estate is a countryside wedding venue situated near Banbury, Oxfordshire. Guests arrive via a tree-lined drive that leads to a wildflower meadow and landscaped lawn where memorable and magical weddings take place. From this location, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the stunning scenery and surroundings. A beautiful stretch marquee is erected on the lawn, near the original stone house and barn. For rustic and refined celebrations and festival-esque feasts in a tranquil rural setting, couples will find everything they need at this family-run estate. You can enjoy exclusive use of the estate for your wedding celebrations. The lawn and terrace are ideal for drink receptions following an outdoor or semi-alfresco ceremony on the grounds. The marquee features wooden poles and a wooden dance floor, with floor plans curated according to your theme and preferences. Fairy lights and festoon lighting add ambiance and illumination. Loved ones can mingle by the fire pit as the evening unfolds and stargaze by night as the party continues. There is ample parking for your guests’ convenience. Couples are afforded access before their wedding day to arrange personalised decor and venue styling. Couples are free to procure suppliers of their choosing and the team is happy to suggest recommended caterers for formal meals and relaxed food trucks. Tinkers Barn Estate has designed a number of beverage packages that include welcome drinks displays, self-service bars, and pop-up horsebox bars. Glamping facilities in the form of a fully appointed wedding bell tent, 10 luxury bell tents for your guests which sleep 2-4, and luxury shower facilities are available on site. The following day overnight guests can gather for an all-inclusive breakfast on the terrace.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Josie Brenchley
In 2018 we put our longstanding dream of moving to somewhere with quiet far-reaching views with the potential to start our family business - a smallholding and wedding venue. After a long search we came across Tinkers Barn and saw all its potential. Digger work and thousands of laps on the mower later we are now delighted to offer our beautiful grounds for weddings with flexible options to make each occasion bespoke. We look forward to meeting you and sharing this idyllic venue.

Perfect venue!

Tinkers Barn estate is the most beautiful and adaptable venue that suited us and our wedding perfectly. The Tipi’s were fantastic and super comfy and the breakfast on the patio was just what we all needed the next morning. Josie and Marcus are knowledgeable, friendly and flexible and helped make everything run smoothly, we genuinely can’t thank them enough!

A stunningly beautiful and adaptable venue

Josie and Marcus's property was a stunningly beautiful and adaptable venue that suited our wedding perfectly. Their knowledge and flexibility supported our plans so well and the whole event went so smoothly - beyond what we had expected. Guests remarked about the venue and were so impressed. Josie and Marcus were always on hand, helping us troubleshoot and giving super valuable advice. Overnight camping was great and we loved the surprise touches. Breakfast the next morning was above and beyond!
