The Barn at Upcote is set amid the serene and timeless Cotswold countryside. Surrounded by rolling hills and a central courtyard lawn, this exclusive-use venue offers a peaceful and intimate escape. The barns’ rustic charm creates a seamless blend of history and natural beauty.
The Threshing Barn, along with the Courtyard lawn, provides space for up to 100 guests to witness your vows. For a more intimate setting, the Grain Store and Cart Lodge are available. The venue also offers a range of seating layouts, allowing couples to customise their ceremony setup. Additionally, several churches in the local Coln River group of parishes, as well as in nearby Cheltenham, are available for those seeking a traditional religious service
The Threshing Barn can seat up to 100 guests for your reception, with the option of either round or long tables. For a more informal dining experience, tables can be arranged across the venue, allowing guests to grab a plate and choose their own seating. The Grain Store also offers a more intimate space, with seating for up to 50 guests, again with the option of round or long tables. For entertainment, the venue is flexible, whether you’re looking for a jukebox, a live band, or a wedding DJ, ensuring an unforgettable evening for all.
Couples can enjoy the Hay Barn Honeymoon Suite, included in the venue hire rate, offering a serene space to unwind after the celebrations. For the wedding party, it’s a perfect place to prepare and take a moment throughout the day. Guests are accommodated in three year-round glamping pods, with additional bell tents available between April and September. For more traditional options, Cheltenham, just minutes away, provides an array of hotels, B&Bs, and self-catering accommodations.
The Barn at Upcote offers flexibility with catering, partnering with five preferred caterers: Ross & Ross Food, Epic, The Cotswold Caterer, Orchard Catering, and Birch Catering. These caterers can provide both the wedding breakfast and evening food, though couples may choose to bring in a different caterer for the evening, provided one of the preferred caterers is used for the main meal.
For drinks, the venue has a no-corkage policy, allowing couples to bring their own champagne, prosecco, beers, wines, and soft drinks for the reception, wedding breakfast, and toast. After the wedding breakfast, the venue bar takes over, offering a range of beverages with various payment options available.
The Barn at Upcote is easily accessible, located just a few minutes from Cheltenham. There is ample parking onsite, with space for cars, coaches, buses, and minibuses, ensuring guests can arrive with ease.
We had our wedding here at the start of June and we can happily say it was the best day of our lives. From the moment we turned up to view the venue for the first time, the team were fantastic with us, and made the wedding planning process so much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. There overall communication in the lead up to the big day was also brilliant. The venue itself is an amazing place to host a wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to get married at the Barn at Upcote.

Thank you for making the wedding and the blessing so special. We really appreciate all of your help and support during our long wedding journey! We couldn’t have done it without you!

To all of you gorgeous bunch who made our special day just that extra special! A huge thank you must go to Hannah and Rosie for your constant help, guidance and reassurance, regularly leading up to our wedding day. The whole team were absolutely amazing throughout the 18 months whilst we planned every detail of our day and we really can never thank you all enough. We completely fell in love with the Barn as soon as we saw it and it really does have the most special place in both our hearts and families. We wish you nothing but complete success and happiness for your future.
Where to begin? The venue and the whole team are absolutely exceptional.
Our wedding was magical, and this is largely due to the barn’s staff – the degree to which they helped us throughout all the planning and on the day itself couldn’t be overstated. All members of the team really proved that it is not the venue that is important; it’s the people who run it.
We thought we could be biased, seeing that it was our own wedding, but our guests independently said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We are all glowing from it one week on, and we couldn’t thank the barn’s staff more.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful attention to detail and for your very efficient organisation on the day of I&J’s wedding – all done with a smile. It was a truly joyous day and this was in no small part due to the setting and all of the ladies at Upcote.

We just can’t thank you enough: you 100% delivered the best day of our lives. The Barn looked stunning, every detail was remembered and the day flowed so smoothly. Beyond the day itself, we are so grateful for your impeccable organisation and patience. You are so approachable and lovely – you gave us so much of your time and made us feel so welcome. Our guests felt this too and most have gone out of their way to tell us what a beautiful, relaxed and happy day our wedding was. That is down to you. Thank you. Thank you for all the extras, above and beyond, you did for us – the fairy lights, decorating my (very ‘rustic’) cake, organising the fire pit… you really looked after us.
The Perfect Venue – We had the most perfect day here and wish we could do it all over again! The venue is beautiful and the staff are amazing, so professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely addition of a bridal suite, meaning you can stay on-site the night of your wedding. Really responsive to messages leading up to the day which meant my wedding anxiety was kept at bay! Book Upcote, you won’t regret it

To all at The Barn at Upcote, thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day run as seamlessly as it did. We are both utter control freaks but felt confident that our day was in safe hands and were able to relax and enjoy our special day. Your venue is beautiful and we had so many compliments on how perfect everything was. Thank you again!
Words cannot describe how perfect this venue is. We first viewed the barn back in November 2019 and fell in love with it the moment we saw it even in the pouring rain. We had our big day a few weeks back and I could not picture getting married anywhere else. The staff are so welcoming and made us feel at ease every step of the way! (even when my husband’s suit split they were on hand with a sewing kit for us). If you are looking for an intimate venue with amazing staff and stunning views then look no further than The Barn at Upcote.

Dear All at The Barn at Upcote, WOW! Where do I start. We fell in love with the Barn the moment we saw it and the fact it was family run meant even more. Thank you so much for all your support and help along the way. We wish we could do it all again. We wish you all the best of luck in your future and we will definitely be recommending the Barn to others.
M & I would love to thank the whole team for giving us such an amazing wedding! The venue, the setting, the order of the day, everything was perfect! Our only wish is that we can do it all over again!
Words don’t justify just how beautiful this venue is. We got married here a few weeks ago and it was simply amazing from start to finish. The staff are just incredible, very professional, attentive and will do anything to make sure you have the best day ever. The venue has everything you need in one place for a great wedding. Lots of space with beautiful scenery. I wish I was getting married all over again. Thank you to all of the staff. You made our day very very special.

The best! The team were amazing and made our dream day! Our caterer cancelled on us the day of the wedding, and the Barn could not have been more amazing at helping us locate a new caterer along with all the other things we needed help with. The day was made completely stress-free for us and was just perfect. Also, such a gorgeous venue that we just fell in love with. Cannot recommend more highly!

Where do we start with this incredible venue? The place is beautiful, a blank canvas to decorate how we wanted it for our wedding! The Barn speaks for itself; even without any additional decoration, it is simply stunning. There are no words for how fantastic the staff are! From the moment we chose Upcote, every meeting, email and phone call we had helped us no end and made the whole experience easy!! Nothing was ever too much trouble. On our wedding day it was seamless, the day went without a hitch and the staff were there for absolutely everything, you barely even knew they were there but we knew full well they were working so hard in the background sorting everything out for us. You guys are amazing and thank you so much for making our wedding day as special as it was. All of the staff made us feel like we were sharing our day with lifelong friends who knew us inside and out, getting things right and a lot of the time this was without even needing to ask. These girls don’t just act like wedding venue staff, they become so invested in your day you forget that they aren’t actually part of your wedding party! Google will only allow us to give 5 stars, we would give you a 100 if we could. Thank you again

We got married at the Barn at Upcote in June 2023. The venue is lovely and had everything we needed. The team are incredible and were so helpful from our first viewing right through to our wedding day. They worked so hard in the background on the wedding day to make sure it all ran perfectly, which it did. Thank you! We would definitely recommend this venue to everyone!
Married June 2023
Right from our first visit to the barn, you have been absolute stars, so much so, you were the only venue we viewed. You answered all of our many many questions and put at ease any qualms we had. Knowing that nothing was too much trouble and that we could relax and truly enjoy the day because you all had everything in hand was invaluable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Married April 2022
Stunning wedding venue with a fabulous team!
We booked this venue for our wedding reception this June. The communication from the team throughout was great. No question was too silly. The wedding day ran so smoothly, and everything was set up perfectly. I couldn’t have done a better job decorating myself.
The secret garden was perfect for couples’ photos, and the stairs made getting a photo of all our guests easy. I would highly recommend this venue.
