The Ridgeway Barns lies amidst fields of barley, oats, and wheat at the heart of a working farm in the North Wessex Downs. This beautiful countryside setting offers expansive views across rolling hills and the ancient Ridgeway trail. Its serene and unspoiled surroundings provide an inspiring backdrop for weddings, blending rural charm with timeless appeal.
The Ridgeway Barns is licensed for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies, allowing couples to choose the perfect setting. Options range from an intimate farmhouse ceremony (up to 24 guests) to larger gatherings in the barn (up to 100 seated) or an outdoor service under the oak-framed gazebo, accommodating up to 120 guests. For those preferring a traditional church wedding, charming village churches are also nearby.
After the ceremony, enjoy a drinks reception in the gardens with breathtaking views over the North Wessex Downs. There’s space for lawn games, croquet, or memorable photos by the Georgian farmhouse, surrounded by fragrant wisteria and rose gardens.
The 19th-century threshing barn, with its underfloor heating, provides a warm and inviting space for celebrations during the colder months, while the stretch tent offers coverage from May to September. Capacity varies with up to 100 guests between April and October and 70 from November to March.
The Georgian farmhouse offers a homely setting for family and friends. It has six bedrooms that accommodate up to 12 guests. Additional spaces, including the luxury honeymoon suite, bring the total capacity to 15-16 people. Accommodation is self-catered, with breakfast hampers available upon request. Weekend weddings include a two-night stay as standard, while midweek options offer both one-night and two-night accommodations.
The Ridgeway Barns offers flexible options for catering. You are welcome to choose your own caterers, and the venue provides helpful recommendations to match any preference, from street food and sharing platters to fine dining. For drinks, the fully licensed bar is open throughout the day, with options for drinks service packages, pre-purchased selections, and cocktail hours to personalise your celebration.
Sustainability is a priority at Liddington Warren Farm, where The Ridgeway Barns is situated. Regenerative farming methods are used to minimise environmental impact, with eco-friendly choices such as bamboo toilet paper, low-impact cleaning products, and energy-saving systems implemented to make the venue’s operations more sustainable.
Located in the North Wessex Downs, The Ridgeway Barns is surrounded by ancient landscapes and scenic countryside. There are numerous activities to enjoy nearby, from exploring the Ridgeway trail and visiting the market towns of Marlborough and Hungerford to taking a short trip for outdoor adventures in the Cotswolds.
Though situated in a rural part of Wiltshire, The Ridgeway Barns is easily accessible:
Just five minutes from the M4’s junction 15 and under 15 minutes from national rail connections, the venue offers convenience for guests arriving from London and the South West.
The recommended approach is via GoogleMaps or What3Words (///shock.romantics.lasts). For those using the postcode (SN4 0EB), the turn-off to the farm is 180 meters further down the road than satnavs may indicate.
Ample on-site parking is available. The venue is a short taxi ride from Swindon, and there are bus connections on Route 48 nearby.
We took a gamble on The Ridgeway Barns when we viewed and booked it for our wedding in November 2023 before it was finished. We trusted their vision, and they pulled it off amazingly; it was even better than we imagined! Louisa communicated perfectly throughout and made us feel relaxed during the planning process. Even our three dogs were welcomed when they popped in for photos on the day. Everything went to plan on the day, all our guests complimented the venue and décor. Thank you, Louisa and team!

We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for everything in the run up to, and across, this weekend. The day itself was better than we’d hoped and you and all of the staff were amazing; attentive but calm and relaxed. So many of our friends and family have said how stunning the venue is and we feel really lucky to have been able to start married life at The Ridgeway Barns.

We had our wedding here last weekend, and I cannot express how absolutely incredible the people are. Since our first conversation, Louisa has made this process so smooth & stress-free. Her attention to detail is second to none, and she knew our wedding plan more than I did! The venue was stunning, the barn and farmhouse were like a fairy tale, and the beautiful green fields and horses backdrop was so beautiful. If I could leave a 6* review, I would. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so very much for making our day so memorable!
Married July 2024
As a bride and groom, we cannot recommend The Ridgeway Barns highly enough! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful landscaping and charming details that created a magical day.
The event team (Georgina & Louisa) went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day memorable. Our wedding coordinator (Georgina) listened to our vision and helped bring it to life seamlessly. Georgina was visible throughout the day for anything we needed!
The outdoor ceremony space was breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery, while the reception area was elegant and spacious, allowing our guests to enjoy the celebration comfortably.
Overall, The Ridgeway Barns made our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and experience!

Special places and special people make for memorably special days. And so it should be no surprise that our wedding this weekend was just those things: memorable and special. You have done amazing work to curate this countryside haven, and I have no doubt that it will play host to many more special days to come. I write this as a newly (and happily) married man – Louisa and team, you have been amazing, and your tireless efforts over the last year and a half are very gratefully appreciated.
Married September 2023

What a fantastic day we had! The Ridgeway Barns is a dream wedding location with an amazing team to guide you through the planning maze and to run the day for you to ensure everything is just perfect. We were so lucky with the weather, and we married outside in the gazebo with a jaw-dropping backdrop of gorgeous countryside. The threshing barn looked fabulous where we had our wedding breakfast and also the evening party with bar and disco. I cannot recommend this venue enough it is just perfect. Book early to avoid disappointment!

We loved working with Ridgeway Barns for our wedding in June ‘24. The team could not have been more helpful, flexible, and willing to accommodate all of our requests. Their experience was also so helpful where needed, and they managed our suppliers perfectly. As a result, the day ran really smoothly. We could not have asked for more.
Married June 2024
Thank you so much for helping us make our dreams a reality! Your help, guidance and patience to a young loved-up couple who have never done anything like this before was greatly appreciated! We hope your business continues to flourish and lots of other couples have as much fun there as we did! Louisa, you are fab! Well done, and thank you for organising everything so well on the day! The Ridgeway Barns will forever be a special place to us.

Thank you to Louisa and the team for the most extraordinary wedding weekend. We, and our guests, have loved every minute of it. The house and the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting for our wedding. All of our wedding guests were blown away by the location and how the day ran so smoothly. It’s all of the little details that are considered and taken care of. We will treasure our time here forever.

Splendid venue, amazing staff, Louisa goes above and beyond to make your day special. Thank you to everyone; exceptional in every way, and it was a more than perfect weekend.
Married August 2024
We discovered this amazing venue while it was still undergoing renovations to become a wedding venue. We instantly fell in love with the view from the garden. It also fit our requirement to have a full weekend hire that allowed for a relaxing wedding weekend. Louisa who runs the operation is fantastic and liaises with all of your suppliers giving you the ability to have a truly unique wedding but with less of the hassle.
Married July 2022
It was a pleasure to work with Louisa and her team as we planned for our wedding in July 2022. The venue is absolutely stunning and our wedding day was made so special. Louisa was on top of everything – very professional and responsive to all our questions. She ensured to coordinate with all our vendors so we didn’t have to worry on the day. We wish we could do it all over again! We would have no hesitation in recommending you have your wedding at The Ridgeway Barns.
Married July 2022
Our wedding weekend here was phenomenal. The farmhouse was perfect accommodation for 15 people to get ready. Plenty of beautiful, comfortable space for makeup artists, hairdressers etc to set up (for 2 brides as well, not just 1!). It felt very homely and relaxed. The venue itself is stunning. Wonderful views, beautiful countryside and the barn and stretch tent are really lovely spacious communal spaces for weddings of all weather!
The team couldn’t do enough for us, helping us plan the timings of the day with their expertise and being flexible with plans based on the weather.
Married September 2024
Thank you so much, Louisa and team, for making our dream wedding come true. We’ve had the best weekend celebrating with friends and family. A venue as stunning as the views!
Married September 2023
We want to say a big thank you for all your hard work in making our wedding day so special. You made the whole process from booking to the actual day very easy and stress-free. Our guests all raved about your beautiful venue and how lovely the whole team was, so thank you once again.
Married August 2022
Thank you so much to all the team at The Ridgeway Barns! We had the pleasure of working with Louisa and Jess, who both went above and beyond for us and were incredibly flexible and accommodating to all our needs. They both could not have done more for us and made the planning process easier because of it. The house itself was perfect for our intimate wedding, and The Old Stables was ideal for getting ready on the day, too! The day would not have been the same if it wasn’t for the gardens, which are incredibly well-kept and beautiful.
Married June 2024
Wow! What a weekend we had. Thank you so much for all your help across the weekend and the planning before. We had the best time ever and The Ridgeway Barns was the perfect place to host our wedding.
