Set within the rolling countryside on the Northamptonshire-Oxfordshire border, The Great Barn is a beautifully positioned barn wedding venue offering a peaceful and private setting with a refined, design-led feel. Surrounded by open landscapes and mature greenery, it creates a natural sense of calm while still feeling elevated and considered. From relaxed drinks on the patio to golden-hour moments on the lawns, every part of the setting flows effortlessly, creating an atmosphere that feels open, stylish, and completely immersive from start to finish.
The Great Barn offers ceremonies in The Card Shed, a separate space from the main barn that can seat up to 120 guests. This allows couples to hold their ceremony in a dedicated setting, before guests move through to the main barn for the rest of the celebrations.
The Great Barn offers flexible reception spaces designed for seamless transitions from day to night. The Croughton Barn provides a spacious setting for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations, accommodating up to 120 guests seated and 175 for the evening. The Aynho Barn is perfect for private drinks or a quieter moment during the festivities. Outdoor patios and lawns create ideal spaces for drinks or sunset photos, giving couples plenty of variety throughout their day.
The Great Barn offers three charming on-site cottages that can accommodate up to 10 guests, providing a comfortable, convenient stay for loved ones. Each cottage is individually styled and perfect for extending the celebration. Accommodation is booked separately from the venue hire, giving couples and guests the flexibility to choose the space that suits them best.
All food at The Great Barn is prepared in-house by the venue’s experienced chef team, offering couples a choice of menus tailored to different tastes and seasons. From relaxed dining to elegant multi-course meals, the kitchen focuses on fresh, beautifully presented dishes that complement the barn’s warm, welcoming atmosphere. The fully licensed bar serves a wide range of drinks, and couples can enhance their day with extras such as styled décor, LED lighting, neon signs, garden games, and the Selfie Photo Station. In-house DJ and lighting packages are also available to create the perfect evening atmosphere.
The Great Barn sits on the edge of Aynho, surrounded by countryside, walking routes, and pretty stone buildings. Nearby towns such as Banbury and Bicester offer shops, restaurants, places to stay, and plenty to explore. The area is a lovely blend of rural tranquillity and easy convenience for guests travelling from across Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and beyond.
Located in Aynho on the Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire border, The Great Barn is easily reached from the M40, A43, and A361. The venue offers ample on-site parking, and the nearest train stations, including Banbury, are only a short drive away.
