Steeped in history but thoughtfully updated for modern celebrations, it offers a beautifully exclusive setting that feels effortlessly stylish and deeply romantic. Often described as one of Kent’s best-kept secrets, Winters Barns is the kind of place you fall in love with at first sight. Today, we’re taking a closer look as the team shares what makes this venue so special.
Originally dating back to the 1600s, Winters Barns is steeped in history, with oak-beamed barns, stable blocks, and a charming courtyard that feel as if they’ve been lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. But don’t let the rustic exterior fool you—this is a venue that blends timeless charm with modern elegance.
The beautifully restored barns provide a warm and atmospheric setting for both ceremonies and receptions. From the fairy-lit beams to trailing hops and soft, neutral tones, every corner offers an Instagram-worthy backdrop, allowing each couple to add their personal touches.
Winters Barns is licensed for both indoor and outdoor civil ceremonies, making it a truly versatile space for all seasons. Whether you’re exchanging vows under the covered cart barn or walking down the aisle in the fairy light-lit ceremony barn, you’ll feel the magic of the venue from the very start of your day.
Following the ceremony, couples can enjoy drinks and canapés in the secluded courtyard before heading into the main barn for dinner and dancing. With heating for winter weddings and air conditioning for the summer months, the venue is designed for year-round comfort.
What truly sets Winters Barns apart is the level of personal care and attention couples receive. Our in-house team of experienced coordinators are with you every step of the way—from the initial viewing to the final farewell. On the day itself, they work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
We host only one wedding per day, providing you with full, uninterrupted use of the entire venue and grounds. It’s your own private wedding haven.
We understand the importance of making everyone feel at home on your wedding day. That’s why Winters Barns also features two fully furnished pamper rooms for both sides of the couple to enjoy the morning preparations. We have a spacious on-site cottage available for the wedding couple to stay overnight.
We also have our Farmhouse and Hop Picking Huts, which boast beautiful bedrooms for guests, making it easy for couples and their loved ones to settle in and fully enjoy the occasion.
Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic autumn celebration, a sun-drenched summer ceremony, or a winter wedding lit by twinkling fairy lights, Winters Barns offers a unique setting that’s both romantic and relaxed. It’s a venue where rustic elegance isn’t just a style—it’s a feeling.
