About
Setting

The Tithe Barn is a historic 14th-century barn with an air of timeless charm. Renovated to highlight its natural elegance, it features arched entrances, exposed oak beams, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. Underfloor heating ensures warmth and comfort throughout the cooler months. Overlooking the expansive beauty of the Symondsbury Estate, the barn provides a stylish backdrop, allowing your imagination to run wild in dressing the space as you wish.

Ceremony

Licensed for Civil Ceremonies and Partnerships, couples may exchange vows within the rustic beauty of the barn or in the charm of its garden, with seating for up to 120 guests and accessible facilities. For those wanting a church ceremony, a quaint village church is conveniently located just a five-minute walk away.

Reception

Receptions at the Tithe Barn flow effortlessly from the ceremony. With an adaptable design, the barn accommodates a range of styles, from small gatherings to grand celebrations, allowing couples to transform the space to match their vision. A private garden with seasonal blooms provides a peaceful area for pre-reception drinks, canapés, and photographs.

Throughout the planning process, every couple at the Tithe Barn has guidance from an in-house coordinator and is supported at every step.

Accommodation

The Symondsbury Estate offers a collection of luxury holiday cottages and farmhouses, ideal for extending the celebrations. Guests can stay close by, from Duck Street Cottage, accommodating two, to the spacious Allington Court, which comfortably hosts up to 21 guests. This selection of accommodations provides a delightful opportunity for family and friends to gather, creating a private retreat.

Food & Drink

The Tithe Barn recognises that food is a pivotal part of the wedding experience. Couples are invited to work with trusted local catering partners or the barn’s in-house catering team to design a menu that reflects their personal tastes. From plated courses to more casual fare, the food and drink offerings can be tailored to suit.

Alice We just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did for us. From the minute we saw you on Wednesday morning you didn’t stop smiling and you took so much of the stress out of the set-up. You are an absolute credit to Symondsbury Estate and were so glad that you were part of our special day.

SJ & Rob

What can we say but a huge thank you to you and your whole team for last Saturday and everything leading up. I meant every word in my speech, from day one you have been great and made us feel welcomed, and allowed us to create the vision we had for the barn. On the day it went without fault, and it truly was our perfect day. I can say that all our guests were amazed with the venue, and what a perfect setting it really is. Honestly, we can’t say thank you enough.
