The venue’s barn, wild luxe spaces, and soulful accommodation offer sweeping views of this internationally significant nature reserve. Exclusive hire of the venue ensures full flexibility, allowing couples to tailor everything to their unique vision.
Transparent pricing includes no corkage fees or hidden costs, and accommodation options can be adjusted to suit your budget. Support from a dedicated team is provided throughout planning and on the day, with recommended suppliers and planning resources available.
Kingshill Barn
The Grade II-listed Victorian barn offers a rustic yet elegant ceremony space. Its vaulted wooden ceiling is adorned with twinkling lights, and a large window frames the unspoilt and vast wild landscape beyond. Original wooden beams and pillars lend an air of understated grandeur to your celebrations, or use them as a blank canvas for your creative vision.
The Linhay
Begin your walk down the aisle from the courtyard, through a beautiful hedge archway, to the intimate open barn. The Linhay provides a charming setting for smaller gatherings or evening celebrations by the wood burner.
Kingshill Farmhouse Garden
For those dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, the Farmhouse Garden offers an idyllic location with panoramic views across the reserve, the red brick of the Georgian Kingshill Farmhouse as your backdrop for ‘I Do’, and wide-open skies above.
Kingshill Barn & The Linhay Lawn
The reception spaces at Kingshill Barn are as versatile as they are beautiful. In addition to the stunning barn, the grass courtyard, encircled by wildflowers and festoon lights, is perfect for mingling, lawn games, or evening festivities under the stars. Late-night gatherings can take place in The Linhay, where the cosy wood burner keeps the atmosphere warm and inviting.
