Last update: April 2025

Rackleys is a beautiful rural wedding venue set amongst the peaceful, rolling Chiltern Hills. Our location benefits from an idyllic sense of ‘being away from it all’ whilst also being easily accessible from London and Oxford. We are perfectly situated close to the tri-meeting point of the counties of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Our traditional farm features a spectacular main barn with a cosy gallery area, a stunning Bridesroom and a registrar's room for civil weddings.

Rackleys Farmhouse

Rackleys Farmhouse is a beautifully restored building situated in the courtyard of Rackleys Chiltern Hills. This exceptional house dates back to the 1730’s with many of it’s original features that can still be seen today. The Farmhouse can accommodate up to twelve adult guests in six individually designed luxurious suites. A delicious Continental breakfast will be served the morning after your nights stay and you can help yourself to unlimited tea and coffee that is available during you stay.

Centered in the courtyard, it’s the perfect spot to spend the night after your wedding with some of your guests. Wake up and look out onto the meadow and The Chiltern Hill from the back of the farmhouse. It’s the ideal place to be.

Inside the stunning refurbished barn, couples are met with tall vaulted ceilings, exposed red brick walls, and wooden beams that course throughout the venue. Large windows and glass doors allow for panoramic views of the bucolic scenery. There is ample room for a seated ceremony and reception, with the ability to host up to 120 of your loved ones. Adorned with twinkling fairy lights and elegant chandeliers, this airy structure will add a touch of fairytale magic to your celebration. A graceful veranda leads from the barn to the lush green lawns surrounding the venue, ideal for catching a breath of fresh air.
