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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

We got married at the Barn at Upcote in June 2023. The venue was lovely and had everything we needed. The team are incredible and were so helpful from our first viewing right through to our wedding day. They worked so hard in the background on the wedding day to make sure it all ran perfectly which it did, thank you! We would definitely recommend this venue to everyone!

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

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.
Married April 2023
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.
Married March 2024
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.
Married April 2022
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 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

The Barn at Upcote is quite simply the most beautiful venue. From the very first moment we saw it online, we just knew — there was no point even looking anywhere else. It is a stunningly converted barn set in the most breathtaking location, and it truly feels magical.
And then there are the ladies who run it — Amy, Alice, Hannah, and Nadia — who are pure magic themselves! They are incredibly professional, so friendly, and always at the end of an email to answer questions. From start to finish, they were so invested in making sure we had the most wonderful day that ran seamlessly. I felt completely supported throughout our entire wedding planning journey, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without them.
They truly listened to us and brought our vision to life in the most perfect way. I will never forget the feeling of walking into the main barn and seeing the wedding breakfast set up in full for the first time. It was utterly magical. You can tell that every wedding they host means something to them. This isn’t just a job; they care deeply about every couple, and on the day, they feel more like guests at your wedding than staff.
Our day ran so smoothly, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything they did to make it so special. From start to finish, it felt like we had been transported into our own little bubble, truly the stuff of dreams.
The honeymoon suite deserves a special mention. It is absolutely perfect and so helpful to have on the day. It gave the bridesmaids somewhere to touch up, a place to leave bags, and even somewhere peaceful for our toddler and nieces to take turns having naps (with adult supervision!). We also found it to be the perfect spot for the two of us to run off to for a bit of peace and quiet, to collect ourselves and take a breather before returning back out to all our guests. The giant bath tub was greatly appreciated at the end of the night, we were so excited to get straight into it once everyone had left and debrief about the day! Also, the bed! The bed is unbelievably comfortable, we had one of the best nights’ sleep we’ve had in a long time (parents will understand!).
Waking up the next morning was just as dreamy. Being able to take in the venue quietly, just the two of us, reminiscing about the day and night before over a cup of coffee with Amy, was the most perfect ending to our wedding experience. The staff are so sweet, genuine, and caring, it honestly felt like saying goodbye to friends!
Thank you so much. We will never be able to thank you enough, and we will never stop shouting about how incredible you all are. The Barn at Upcote holds such a special place in our hearts.

We got married at Upcote in October 2025 and couldn’t have asked for a better day.
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.
Thank you to Hannah and all the team.

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.

Well, after months of putting off the review because I just can’t find the “right” words to begin to describe our day. I’ll start with the star of the show – The venue itself, the most gorgeous buildings tied to each other and surrounded by the most gorgeous fields and views. Everything all in one place made the day so convenient. And the beautiful style is timeless. We knew the moment we walked in that this was “the one”. And now the Stars that run the show, and you can’t beat them. They made the whole experience from start to finish seamless. They helped make our vision come true, and were on hand for any questions we had and helped ease all our nerves on the day. Girls – you helped make it (the most beautiful day of our lives) what it was. We are forever grateful to the whole team.
Married October 2025
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!

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.
Married June 2024
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.
Married March 2025
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.
Married September 2025
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!
