Water’s Edge, nestled in the tranquil Cotswold village of Ewen, offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. Its strategic location, just 4 miles from Cirencester town and a quick 3-minute drive to Kemble station, ensures easy connectivity to London. This perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty makes Water’s Edge an ideal choice for your special event.
Water’s Edge, with its unique L-shaped barn design, unfolds across two storeys. The ground floor houses the main party space, a delightful dining room with an inviting open fireplace. Adjacent to it, a spacious bar and lounge area set the stage for mingling. Adding to the magic, guests can witness the culinary artistry of the in-house chef team in the open theatre-style kitchen. As guests venture outdoors, they are greeted by a stylish stretch tent adorned with twinkly fairy lights and, following a short walk, by the enchanting sight of spring-fed lakes, providing an exquisite backdrop for the leisurely sipping of cocktails.
The festivities commence in the barn’s bar area, where a meticulously crafted panelled bar serves as the room’s focal point. Revellers can enjoy a selection of locally sourced Cotswold ales, traditional champagne, and signature cocktails tailored to satisfy every taste.
A panelled dining room accommodates up to 110 seated guests, while the option to add a marquee alongside enables the inclusion of additional guests for a delightful sit-down meal. As twilight descends, the dining room transforms into an inviting dancefloor, ensuring that celebrations continue in style.
At Water’s Edge, the accomplished in-house chef team expertly prepares all culinary delights in the theatre kitchen. The menus are thoughtfully designed around the couple’s preferences, using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. From sumptuous sharing platters and delectable grilled feasts to indulgent feasting menus, the options are tailored to create a culinary experience that reflects the couple’s unique style. After nightfall, a delightful ‘Munchies’ menu awaits, featuring luxurious cheese toasties, stone-baked pizzas, and locally sourced gourmet hot dogs.
Upstairs, the venue offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including an exquisite couple’s suite. Complete with a charming roll-top bath, a separate dressing room, a contemporary en-suite, and a lavish super-kingsize luxury padded bed, the couple’s suite provides an inviting sanctuary for the newlyweds. Additionally, two more bedrooms comfortably accommodate up to four extra guests, with a shared bathroom adorned with a bath and shower nestled between the rooms.
As guests venture outdoors, they can follow the meandering garden path through Water’s Edge’s enchanting rolling grounds. Amongst graceful willow trees and manicured lawns, a charming private lake and an outdoor ceremony structure await, providing an idyllic setting for couples to exchange their vows and declare their eternal love.
Water’s Edge hosted our wedding in July 2023. From viewing the venue to the ceremony itself, Steve, Emma and Alex (the team behind the venue) were fantastic. They went out of their way to make our day extra special and they could not have been more friendly and helpful and our guests were seriously impressed. We are thrilled that we chose Water’s Edge for our wedding venue and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

From our first visit to the venue on a frosty morning in January, a warm welcome from Steve and Emma made us feel very relaxed and welcome, and the venue is so gorgeous all year round that it sold itself. We fell in love with both the venue and the team and knew that they would make every little detail possible. All our guests could not stop complimenting us on how great our venue choice was and how lovely the team had been. Steve and Emma have built something really special here at Waters Edge!

Excellent venue, so special and in the most beautiful surroundings. It is peaceful, secluded and everything you would want for a Cotswolds wedding. From the moment we enquired, the team here have been exceptional – from viewings to tastings to taking our family to see the venue – the team here could not be any better. Huge thank you to Will, who coordinated the day itself and was incredible – he is unflappable, nothing is too much trouble, and he gave us complete confidence from the second we arrived. Huge thank you also to the chef, Danny, who created the most spectacular menu – many guests have commented since, saying how fantastic the food was.
This venue nails it, you could not want for more. Beautiful surroundings, exceptional service and the most caring and kind staff you could wish for. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue, look no further! Water’s Edge and the whole team are incredible and we were so glad we chose it as our wedding venue. The venue itself is stunning. We visited at various times of the year, and it always looked beautiful.
We got married by the water and even had a couple of swans present for the ceremony! We celebrated down by the lake with drinks and canapés and then headed up to the main building for a delicious meal, dancing and drinks. Danny, the chef, is very talented and everything we ate on the day was delicious and beautifully presented.
We loved the fact it is a family-run business and the whole team went out of their way to accommodate any of our requests. On the day Will was fantastic at making sure everything went smoothly and checking we were okay.
A big thank you to everyone at Water’s Edge!

We had the best day we could ever have wished for at the stunning Water’s Edge. The organisation before and on the day was excellent and all our wishes were catered for. The bridal suite, guest accommodation and venue are all fabulous and of such a high standard. Food was excellent and all of our guests had the most amazing time. It really felt like our day and that we were at home, given the time and space to enjoy the celebration. Thank you Water’s Edge!

We had a fabulous day getting married at Water’s Edge! The setting down by the lakes is so different, so beautiful and so special, and the modern bar and dining facilities close at hand were spot on, too. The meal was excellent. This was all despite periods of heavy rainfall, with which Will and the team coped easily, reacting to rearrange things smoothly and quickly. This included using their stretch tent down by the water as well as their indoor facilities. That flexibility was vital on the day and no problem at all. The outdoor sections also seemed to have no issue coping with the rainfall. It was such a pleasure dealing with Will, Emma and Steve in the build-up, as well as on the day and in the aftermath. The bedrooms and bathrooms are gorgeous. The whole experience was unforgettable and as good as we could have dreamed of. Big thanks from Richard and Caroline.

We got married at Waters Edge in August 2023. A stunning venue that provided us with the intimate outdoor experience we were looking for. Alex, Emma and Steve took time to listen and work with our suppliers to create a truly memorable experience for all fifty of our guests. If you are thinking about booking Waters Edge, don’t hesitate, you will not regret it!

The team at Water’s Edge made our wedding reception! From start to finish they were incredibly accommodating, very helpful and just a pleasure to work with. The facilities at the venue are superb – from the bridal suite to the bar, the function room and the courtyard; the venue is just beautiful!
We got lots of positive comments from our guests about the food and drinks served, especially from those who had dietary requirements who noted how well they were accommodated for. We highly recommend reaching out to the Water’s Edge team if you are looking for a wedding venue where you can do it all in one place and have a wonderful day with your loved ones!

Yes, you can; we hope to be as flexible as possible. However, having over ten years of experience in weddings, we are delighted to give local recommendations for florists and suppliers.
We have options. We have a beautiful stretch tent that can be erected for the ceremony by the lakes, but if the weather is really awful, we can open up our gorgeous green-panelled ceremony room for the service in Water's Edge.
Our wedding coordinators are brilliant; they will work with you every step of the way to create your dreams. From tastings to management on the day.
You have exclusive use of the venue for two days and lakes for the ceremony.
