About
Setting

The Barn at Upcote is set amid the serene and timeless Cotswold countryside. Surrounded by rolling hills and an English country garden courtyard, this exclusive-use venue offers a peaceful and intimate escape. The barns’ rustic charm creates a seamless blend of history and natural beauty.

Ceremony

The Threshing Barn, along with the English country garden courtyard, provides space for up to 100 guests to witness your vows. For a more intimate setting, the Grain Store and Cart Lodge are available. The venue also offers a range of seating layouts, allowing couples to customise their ceremony setup. Additionally, several churches in the local Coln River group of parishes, as well as in nearby Cheltenham, are available for those seeking a traditional religious service

Reception

The Threshing Barn can seat up to 100 guests for your reception, with the option of either round or long tables. For a more informal dining experience, tables can be arranged across the venue, allowing guests to grab a plate and choose their own seating. The Grain Store also offers a more intimate space, with seating for up to 50 guests, again with the option of round or long tables. For entertainment, the venue is flexible, whether you’re looking for a jukebox, a live band, or a wedding DJ, ensuring an unforgettable evening for all.

Accommodation

Couples can enjoy the Hay Barn Cottage, included in the venue hire rate, offering a serene space to unwind after the celebrations. For the wedding party, it’s a perfect place to prepare and take a moment throughout the day. There is accommodation for guests in a camping area with three pods, and more tent and campervan spaces are available. For more traditional options, Cheltenham, just minutes away, provides an array of hotels, B&Bs, and self-catering options.

Food & Drink

The Barn at Upcote offers flexibility with catering, partnering with six preferred caterers: Ross & Ross Food, Epic, The Cotswold Caterer, Orchard Catering, Birch Catering and Pickled Pumpkin. These caterers can provide both the wedding breakfast and evening food, though couples may choose to bring in a different caterer for the evening, provided one of the preferred caterers is used for the main meal.

For drinks, the venue has a no-corkage policy, allowing couples to bring their own champagne, prosecco, beers, wines, and soft drinks for the reception, wedding breakfast, and toast. After the wedding breakfast, the venue bar takes over, offering a range of beverages with various payment options available.

Local Area

Cheltenham, Cirencester, and Gloucester are the venue’s closest towns, providing a wide range of options for accommodation and places to eat before and after your wedding. A number of local villages, such as Withington, Andoversford, and Northleach, also provide accommodation.

Getting There

The Barn at Upcote is easily accessible, located just a few minutes from Cheltenham. There is ample free parking onsite, with space for cars, coaches, buses, and minibuses, ensuring guests can arrive with ease.

Where do we start with this incredible venue? The place is beautiful, a blank canvas to decorate how we wanted it for our wedding! The Barn speaks for itself; even without any additional decoration, it is simply stunning. There are no words for how fantastic the staff are! From the moment we chose Upcote, every meeting, email and phone call we had helped us no end and made the whole experience easy!! Nothing was ever too much trouble. On our wedding day it was seamless, the day went without a hitch and the staff were there for absolutely everything, you barely even knew they were there but we knew full well they were working so hard in the background sorting everything out for us. You guys are amazing and thank you so much for making our wedding day as special as it was. All of the staff made us feel like we were sharing our day with lifelong friends who knew us inside and out, getting things right and a lot of the time this was without even needing to ask. These girls don’t just act like wedding venue staff, they become so invested in your day you forget that they aren’t actually part of your wedding party! Google will only allow us to give 5 stars, we would give you a 100 if we could. Thank you again

My wife and I looked for venues all over the Cotswolds, but ultimately chose The Barn at Upcote for its beauty and facilities, and largely because the team was very communicative and welcoming. From our first few emails, they were very attentive to everything that we wanted, and they found ways they make it happen for us. They made the whole process a joy and significantly easier than we were expecting. On the day of the wedding, the team kicked it up a gear and was all over the event, coordinating with multiple vendors, photographers, videographers, and guests to ensure that the whole wedding went smoothly and flawlessly.

What a venue! We got married here in May, and everything was absolutely perfect. Cannot speak highly enough of the entire team who went above and beyond in the lead up to the day and on the day itself! Everyone in the team is so knowledgeable, professional and friendly, they made the day an absolute dream.

Not only were the staff amazing, but the venue itself is just perfect! Beautiful and secluded, with enough space for everything you could need, but not so spaced out that you are losing everyone! Would absolutely recommend Upcote!

The best! The team were amazing and made our dream day! Our caterer cancelled on us the day of the wedding, and the Barn could not have been more amazing at helping us locate a new caterer along with all the other things we needed help with. The day was made completely stress-free for us and was just perfect. Also, such a gorgeous venue that we just fell in love with. Cannot recommend more highly!

Right from our first visit to the barn, you have been absolute stars, so much so, you were the only venue we viewed. You answered all of our many many questions and put at ease any qualms we had. Knowing that nothing was too much trouble and that we could relax and truly enjoy the day because you all had everything in hand was invaluable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Words cannot describe how perfect this venue is. We first viewed the barn back in November 2019 and fell in love with it the moment we saw it even in the pouring rain. We had our big day a few weeks back and I could not picture getting married anywhere else. The staff are so welcoming and made us feel at ease every step of the way! (even when my husband’s suit split they were on hand with a sewing kit for us). If you are looking for an intimate venue with amazing staff and stunning views then look no further than The Barn at Upcote.

Words don’t justify just how beautiful this venue is. We got married here a few weeks ago and it was simply amazing from start to finish. The staff are just incredible, very professional, attentive and will do anything to make sure you have the best day ever. The venue has everything you need in one place for a great wedding. Lots of space with beautiful scenery. I wish I was getting married all over again. Thank you to all of the staff. You made our day very very special.

Stunning wedding venue with a fabulous team!

We booked this venue for our wedding reception this June. The communication from the team throughout was great. No question was too silly. The wedding day ran so smoothly, and everything was set up perfectly. I couldn’t have done a better job decorating myself.

The secret garden was perfect for couples’ photos, and the stairs made getting a photo of all our guests easy. I would highly recommend this venue.

The whole team were so helpful throughout the planning process, answering all our questions and offering advice. The guidance they gave us for the day was so thorough, and the in-depth day plan really helped our own planning. The day itself was fantastic. It was a windy day, which meant we had to change a few plans, but everything felt completely effortless. We felt looked after every step of the way. The team are experts, delivering weddings every week, but never once did we feel like we were in a ‘conveyor belt’ of weddings.

Where to begin? The venue and the whole team are absolutely exceptional.

Our wedding was magical, and this is largely due to the barn’s staff – the degree to which they helped us throughout all the planning and on the day itself couldn’t be overstated. All members of the team really proved that it is not the venue that is important; it’s the people who run it.

We thought we could be biased, seeing that it was our own wedding, but our guests independently said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We are all glowing from it one week on, and we couldn’t thank the barn’s staff more.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful attention to detail and for your very efficient organisation on the day of I&J’s wedding – all done with a smile. It was a truly joyous day and this was in no small part due to the setting and all of the ladies at Upcote.

We had our wedding here at the start of June and we can happily say it was the best day of our lives. From the moment we turned up to view the venue for the first time, the team were fantastic with us, and made the wedding planning process so much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. There overall communication in the lead up to the big day was also brilliant. The venue itself is an amazing place to host a wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to get married at the Barn at Upcote.

We wanted to say an absolutely huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our day just utter perfection. You were so kind, caring and wonderful through the whole process, taking care to understand us and what we wanted from our day. We are eternally grateful for all the support in the lead-up and on the big day itself. It went absolutely perfectly! We will be singing your praises forever, and sending anyone we know who’s getting married your way!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day and also in the lead-up to it. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We appreciate our timeframe was pretty tight which means we are all the more grateful for your words of advice and expertise. The Barn was the most beautiful place to get married, even in the storm! We had the most incredible day we could only have dreamed of and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it possible.

The Perfect Venue – We had the most perfect day here and wish we could do it all over again! The venue is beautiful and the staff are amazing, so professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely addition of a bridal suite, meaning you can stay on-site the night of your wedding. Really responsive to messages leading up to the day which meant my wedding anxiety was kept at bay! Book Upcote, you won’t regret it

Our wedding day in September was one of the most joyful, memorable and fun days of our lives. We’ve had such positive feedback from our guests, who all thought the venue was spectacular.

We wanted to say a massive thanks for all of your support, from planning through to being on hand on the day. You helped us bring our vision to life, and on the day were exceptionally attentive and professional, whilst also being approachable and considerate.

You have a really brilliant team of experienced, easy-to-work-with people, and we consider ourselves very fortunate that you helped us deliver our wedding at your beautiful venue.

We just can’t thank you enough: you 100% delivered the best day of our lives. The Barn looked stunning, every detail was remembered and the day flowed so smoothly. Beyond the day itself, we are so grateful for your impeccable organisation and patience. You are so approachable and lovely – you gave us so much of your time and made us feel so welcome. Our guests felt this too and most have gone out of their way to tell us what a beautiful, relaxed and happy day our wedding was. That is down to you. Thank you. Thank you for all the extras, above and beyond, you did for us – the fairy lights, decorating my (very ‘rustic’) cake, organising the fire pit… you really looked after us.
