The Barn at Avington resides on a working farm near Winchester, Hampshire. Set in a peaceful location alongside the River Itchen, it is enveloped by a 400-acre farm, home to many horses in the livery. Overhead, swans glide gracefully while deer stroll through ‘The Glade,’ their secret and secluded luxury glamping site.
Support comes from Stacey Page Weddings and her team, an award-winning independent wedding planner and coordinator. They ensure a seamless experience and provide incredible service throughout the planning stages and on the special day itself.
Their industrial barn has been transformed into a cool and light space, which is your blank canvas to style as you wish. Designed with couples in mind, they offer something truly unique at The Barn at Avington as they believe a wedding ‘day’ is never enough and that each couple should feel truly special. They have a limited number of dates each year so that you can spend a full week at The Barn. Getting ready should be part of the fun, the celebration should go on for days, and there always needs to be time for reflection (and sharing those stories about who did the most embarrassing dance moves!).
Friends and family are invited to stay in the cottages and glamping site, suiting those wanting a festival-style wedding or long wedding weekend.
The venue’s accessibility is a highlight, located just 10 minutes from the M3 and 15 minutes from Winchester train station, which offers regular trains to London.
Directions to the venue are straightforward. Guests should pass Avington Park, the notable white house, on their right. After a short distance, they will come to a bend or T-junction and should bear left. They will pass Avington Golf Course on the right, continuing until they see a house on the left. Guests should not take the first left into the yard (Park Farm) but rather the next left, followed by an immediate left to park next to The Barn.
It was a no brainer really as it pretty much ticked every box – accommodation on site, blank canvas venue, beautiful ceremony area. We didn’t want our wedding to be just one day – thank you and see you later. Most venues we looked at were 24hr churn and burns. We wanted to make more of a weekend with friends and family involved. The Barn at Avington offered the package of the venue and accommodation for a whole week which is just so amazing. Being very hands on and creative ourselves, it meant that we could do exactly what we wanted with the space – which was to decorate the venue ourselves. You can do as much or as little as you want at the Barn, either sourcing teams to style and set up your wedding for you, or you can DIY it. By doing all of it (with Beth – the Event Manager) meant that we could make savings where we wanted. But most importantly, it meant that friends and family got involved and helped put everything together with personal touches.
The Barn at Avington and Beth made our dreams come true, what more could you want! My husband and I (!) loved every second of our wedding day surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with several amazing photo spots, Beth and her incredible support and the ability to truly make the space in and surrounding the barn reflect our vision. We would highly recommend The Barn for your wedding.

We picked The Barn as it had an absolutely stunning location by the river, and it was a venue that allowed us to have the wedding we wanted, not the rinse and repeat we had found other venues seemed to offer. And, a huge selling point was the fact we could involve our dogs, which is something none of the other venues we viewed also seemed to offer.
Beth was absolutely amazing both before, during and even after our wedding. She really makes this venue 5*.
I would highly recommend The Barn to anyone thinking of getting married. I don’t think we would have had such an amazing day if we’d chosen another venue.

The Barn at Avington was the perfect blank space to allow us to make the venue uniquely about us and set in unbeatable Hampshire countryside, it was the only venue we visited that actually got us excited! The on-site accommodation gives you plenty of time to enjoy the run up to your wedding day with your family and friends – who are then all on hand to help you get creative with the space and make it your own!
At The Barn, we give you the luxury of time! We book the barn from Monday to Monday, giving you the whole week to enjoy getting married. We believe that the set up should be relaxing and the wedding should last for days!
We have a camping field next to The Barn. Guests are welcome to bring their own tents or we recommend using a bell tent company to create a camping village. We are able to recommend companies to you or you can select your own.
We are more than happy for you to provide your own alcohol for the welcome drinks and wine for the wedding breakfast at no additional cost. We have an in house bar for all other drinks.
We have chairs and tables for you to use, along with sofas, trunks, garden furniture and more!
