Elegantly rural and undeniably fun.
Tythe offers an enchanting blend of historic charm and rural elegance, set on a working farm owned by the Deeley family in the heart of Oxfordshire. The venue brings together the beautifully restored Thatched Barn (dating back to 1370), adjoining Cowshed with its old terracotta roof, luxury dressing room (The Nook), the stunning interior-designed Manor Farmhouse offering seven double en-suite bedrooms and the cosy Shepherd’s Hut which sleeps an additional two. The sweeping drive, rustic oak beams, and the peaceful countryside make Tythe a quintessentially English setting, offering a magical backdrop for weddings. The estate’s natural beauty is complemented by touches of farm life, with grazing sheep and cows nearby, adding to its character.
Tythe is a venue steeped in history and family tradition. With more than 25 years of experience in planning and hosting weddings, the team is devoted to guiding couples. The venue is available for exclusive hire, and a dedicated team ensures that every detail is thoughtfully managed, creating a seamless experience for couples and their guests.
Tythe offers a variety of charming spaces for couples to exchange their vows. Couples can choose between indoor or outdoor settings, including the Thatched Barn, the wisteria-lined aisle, or the stunning silver birch canopy in The Orchard.
For those preferring a more traditional service, the 12th-century St Mary’s Church, located just next door, is accessible via a picturesque garden path.
Whether inside the historic barn or under the open sky, Tythe provides a beautiful, flexible setting for both small and large ceremonies.
The Thatched Barn is the perfect venue for a wedding breakfast, combining historical charm with modern style. This 14th-century barn, once a central part of the family farm, has been carefully restored while retaining its original character. Inside, rustic oak beams are complemented by fairy lights, and outside, the warmth of a wood burner keeps guests cosy. Friends and family can gather around long tables for a lively, communal feast, with the option of wood-fired pizza from the outdoor oven and evening celebrations illuminated by festoon lighting.
Tythe offers couples and their guests the impressive 17th-century Farmhouse as accommodation. This Manor House has been the family home of the Deeley family for over 500 years and sits at the hub of the Tythe estate. Boasting seven double ensuite bedrooms, including a wedding suite, two large reception rooms, a dining room, a country kitchen, open fires, a tennis court, a wonderful wood-fuelled hot tub and an adjacent Shepherd’s Hut (with room for two more), there’s plenty to keep the couple and their guests entertained!
Tythe’s in-house catering team, Absolute Taste, delivers a wedding feast full of flavour, showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally. Guests can indulge in beautifully crafted menus that range from elegant sit-down meals to more relaxed, informal options like wood-fired pizzas. Tythe encourages couples to work with their talented chefs to create a bespoke menu that reflects their personal tastes, ensuring each bite delights the senses.
Surrounded by the serene Oxfordshire countryside, Tythe offers a charming rural escape. The estate sits near the village of Launton, and the stunning landscape provides an idyllic setting for wedding photography and leisurely strolls. The area is also known for its scenic beauty, offering couples and guests a peaceful retreat.
Tythe is conveniently located in Oxfordshire, accessible by road, and has ample parking for guests. Its rural location, just outside of Bicester, is easily reached by major transport links.
Josie and the Tythe team were amazing from start to finish. The venue itself is so beautiful – the lawns, flowers and barn are immaculate – it was the best setting possible and I couldn’t now imagine getting married anywhere else. Thank you for the wedding of our dreams!

We wanted to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional experience you provided on our wedding day at the weekend. Our celebration at Tythe was nothing short of magical, and we are truly grateful for all the hard work and dedication that went into making it such an incredible event for us.
You and your team’s professionalism and genuine care for every aspect of our weekend were truly remarkable. Your attentiveness and seamless coordination ensured that everything unfolded flawlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the day without a worry in the world.
The venue and the Farmhouse were absolutely stunning, the drinks certainly went down well, and the food was amazing too… We just don’t have enough good words to say about the whole weekend, apart from wanting to re-live it all over again! The memories we crafted at Tythe will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We are immensely grateful for you working tirelessly throughout the day.

We have been told that if Disney were to make the idyllic wedding venue…this would be it.

I don’t have enough words to say how amazing Tythe was, from start to finish the whole experience was just perfection.
We visited on an open day which is when we first met Tori, who ended up being our wedding coordinator. She is wonderful.
Tythe was the first and only venue we visited. As soon as we walked in we knew it was the venue for us. The barn is beautiful with the fairy lights and exposed brick. The farmhouse accommodation is unreal! Everyone who works at Tythe is so welcoming and friendly.
Tori was perfect and I couldn’t have wished for a better wedding day coordinator. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect for us it felt like we had a friend with us, helping us on our day.
The grounds of the Tythe are stunning and perfect for pictures. The options to have your ceremony inside and outside are both as beautiful as each other and difficult to decide between.
Every single one of our friends has commented on how amazing the venue is, and 2 couples have even asked if we would mind if they got married there!
Food with absolute taste is perfection! Many comments on the food being the best food they’ve had at a wedding!
If I could do it all again, I’d go back to Tythe in a heartbeat, no question.
Thank you Tythe, especially Tori, for giving us the wedding far beyond our wildest dreams.

We had the most amazing wedding weekend at The Tythe Barn! This venue is stunning, and I cannot fault the service they provided on our wedding day. Josie was with us throughout the day, and she ensured everything was seamless. I cannot thank Josie enough for her hard work and attention to detail, helping create the wedding we had only envisioned.

Tythe and the team are one of a kind. The venue is so well thought out and just stunning. From the delicious food, amazing brand, great drinks and I’m sure they had a hand in it stopping raining with full sun just before I walked down the aisle, the team have created the best wedding venue.
Married August 2024
We had the most amazing day here for my daughters wedding. Tythe Barn is such a beautiful venue. It is maintained to a really high standard, and you can tell that it is run with a lot of love. The staff are like a family and will do everything they can to make sure you have a perfect day. The team were brilliant throughout the planning process, nothing was too much trouble. The day itself ran like clockwork, and the food was incredible. It’s also a photographers dream, as there are so many incredible photo opportunities here. If you want a barn wedding, look no further, this place is really quite magical.
The perfect wedding venue. The barn itself deserves 5 stars, but the staff are what make this place truly magical. We had the best time and we felt supported and taken care of through every part of our big day. Can’t recommend this venue enough! You won’t be disappointed!
We fell in love with The Tythe Barn the moment we set foot in it. This is a venue that has been established and built on passion, love and attention to detail, and this was absolutely borne out over the course of our wedding experience. When you pick a venue, you imagine how your day will go and how it will look. Every dream we had for our wedding day was realised, and every hope we had was either met or, more likely, surpassed. We will forever be grateful for Will, Emma, Tina and the team for delivering a wedding day that we will never forget.

We could not have chosen a more amazing wedding venue. I saw Tythe online when looking for venues. It was a little further away from our local area, however nowhere else compared to the pictures online, so we still decided to take a look. Within seconds, we both knew it was the one! The grounds were stunning, the barn was just gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for, and the added Farmhouse and The Nook sealed the deal. Tori was our wedding coordinator she was so lovely. She took care of everything on the day and made it so easy. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We got the outside ceremony we were hoping for, and walking down the aisle of wisteria was my favourite. Our photos looked fab. We cannot thank Tythe enough for making our day so special. Our friends and family have not stopped complimenting us on such a fab venue choice, and especially loved the surprise dancing from the carvers during our wedding breakfast!! We would recommend Tythe to anyone. It was just perfect! We miss it already.
Married August 2023
Jamie and I couldn’t have chosen a better venue to host our wedding! There is something so magical about Tythe, and from the moment we visited we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate with our family and friends. The attention to detail is second to none – there is nothing they haven’t considered in making the venue the perfect choice to host a wedding.
We were particularly drawn to the family history, and we had the pleasure of meeting the owners, who are heavily involved in the day-to-day running of the barn, which adds such a personal touch during their open days for upcoming prospective couples in search of their wedding venue. The Farmhouse is filled with history running throughout and is the perfect location to relax with family and friends.
We really don’t feel ready to say goodbye to Tythe just yet, as the whole experience went by so quickly! We hope to visit one of their future events just so we can relive the moments of our wedding one last time!
Married June 2024
We got married at the Tythe Barn and it was everything we could have wished for and more. The Tythe Barn was the second venue we visited and we knew pretty much instantly that it was the perfect place for our wedding. Within two days of our first visit we booked! What made the Tythe Barn really stand out was its rustic yet practical feel and the amazing staff members we met on the day. We knew, no matter how many venues we went to see, this was the place for us. In the build up to the day we felt very supported and no questions went unanswered. The day itself went by without a hitch, which is a credit to the professionalism and experience of all the staff. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was taken care of. The food is absolutely outstanding and people are still telling us that the pies for mains and pizzas for evening food are some of the best they’ve ever had. If you’re thinking of getting married in a barn setting, or your main focus is having an incredible, stress-free day, look no further than the Tythe Barn.
Tythe made the wedding planning process significantly less stressful. Our Wedding Coordinator was there to help with anything, and once I handed over all of my plans at our pre-wedding meeting, I didn’t have to worry about anything. The venue is stunning; we had so many guests telling us how beautiful the grounds were, and The Farmhouse was perfect for a full 3-day celebration. Would do it all over again at Tythe in a heartbeat!
Married August 2023
We had our wedding at The Tythe Barn, Launton last August and could not recommend it more. From the moment we viewed the venue we knew it was for us. Everything was just a little bit “extra” compared to any other place we visited. The Farmhouse was still being renovated but we had no doubt that it would be just as spectacular as the barn, so didn’t hesitate to book without seeing the finished product. In the lead up to the wedding our wedding co-ordinator Tori was always there when we needed her, covering every detail and answering any questions we had. We knew we were in safe hands with Tori and any worries or stresses I had were alleviated by her organised and calm approach. This made the wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful and for that I am so grateful. On the day Tori was always around but never in the way – it felt like I just had an extra friend helping out which was so lovely. She kept everything running smoothly and any small hiccups e.g. a music blip she was straight on it sorting it.
The Farmhouse – where to begin. This was such a great part of our experience and really helped to make the wedding morning relaxing. It was so nice to get to spend extra time with our family and friends and the Farmhouse itself is absolutely stunning. From the bathtubs, to the grounds, to the hot tub, bridal prep area, champagne bar, stunning kitchen area, every little bit of it has been so carefully thought through and nothing missed. The catering was amazing (for both the wedding and the night before meal) – we now understand why you only use these caterers. We received so many comments from our guests on how great the food was. It really was delicious. I could go on for a long time about how perfect this venue and the staff are! But I will round up and just say that if you are looking at having your wedding here, please do not hesitate to book. I wish we could do it all over again and we hope to be able to come back and stay at the Farmhouse again one day. Thank you to everyone at Tythe for giving us the best day of our lives!

I must have emailed every single barn venue in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. We wanted a barn wedding with extra wow. What really sold us Tythe are all the extra bits – the courtyard, all the hidden nooks where people can sit, the giant lawn at the front, all those different spaces for guests to enjoy. It’s so private but also very accessible.
Married August 2022
We don’t even know where to start, other than, wow – what a weekend! Thank you for absolutely everything; you made all of our wedding dreams come true and more. From start to finish, we felt completely comfortable and looked after by all of you. The barn, the farmhouse, the bar staff, and, most of all, Tori were incredible – extremely helpful, professional, friendly, and always had smiles on your faces. You all work so hard, yet still go over and above at every moment you can, and we hugely appreciate it.
Married July 2023
We knew we were in safe hands with The Tythe Barn right from the start, but nothing could prepare us for just how magical our wedding day actually would be. From start to finish it was truly superb. The venue, the team, the food, the organisation, the attention to detail and the care and passion were incredible.
Thank you for a wedding more perfect than we imagined, we still can’t stop talking about it weeks later. Every corner of Tythe is absolutely stunning, and the food was incredible. So many of our guests said it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Everything from the Farmhouse to Dani’s coordination to the drinks and service was flawless and made our day so special. If we could do it all again, we’d undoubtedly choose Tythe.

Beautiful venue for a whole wedding weekend!
We got married in May 2023, and we were lucky with gorgeous sunny weather. The barn looked amazing. The Farmhouse was the perfect setting for the night before BBQ with family. Everything ran seamlessly, with Absolute Taste catering a fab meal for us all. The whole day ran smoothly, thanks to Tori and her team. From planning to the very end, every detail was thought of. Amazing attention to detail, including kind and thoughtful help throughout the planning process and on the day the food was incredible! We used some of their recommended suppliers and were thrilled with the service. Highly recommend Tythe as a wedding venue.
Married May 2023
The Tythe Barn was everything we were looking for in a venue and it did not disappoint on the day. Our friends and family were in awe of how stunning it looked, the team made everything run smoothly without us even noticing and Absolute Taste smashed the food out of the park! We just wish we could do it all over again.
