The Setting
This magnificently-isolated wedding venue in the heart of Gloucestershire has stunning gardens and overlooks the spectacular, rolling Cotswold Hills with no other building in sight. There are plenty of idyllic country inns for accommodation nearby, and many taxi companies operate in the area, so guests can let their hair down and celebrate in style!
The Vibe
Cripps Barn is a lovely old Cotswold stone barn in beautiful countryside near Bibury. It has flagstone floors, an open fireplace and a large south-facing terrace with firepits and a bonfire in the garden.
Cripps Barn is a family-run business; if it’s a relaxed feel you want with incredible food and excellent service, this is the place for you. You can get married in the barn or outside in their lovely woodland glade. After the wedding and the meal, the barn makes the perfect place to party. You can do this right up until 1am!
There’s free camping available in the next-door field.
Cripps Barn are known for their whole BBQ’d lambs, sirloin bricks or butterflied leg of lamb. Alternatively, you can have rotisserie chicken, suckling pig or duck. They only use the best ingredients and serve feast-style food in bowls on the tables. Simple, wholesome and oh-so-yummy!

**Reception capacity: Space for 150 guests for your reception/wedding breakfast and up to 250 for an evening party.
