Unique in many ways, The Barn is a centuries-old wedding venue beautifully reconstructed in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Intended for deeply personal events, this barn effortlessly reflects the traditional Kentish style. Its oak beams and columns come together in a sweet harmony that creates a truly distinctive atmosphere. Delightful in every imaginable way, the team is pleased to extend the sole and exclusive use of this historic setting with absolutely no hire charges and ample room to make it your own.

Facilities and Capacity

The Barn is licensed for civil ceremonies, which can be held with great flourish in the new Orangery. Overlooking the award-winning courtyard-inspired gardens, this chic country space is a perfect blend of rustic style and easy elegance. During the summer months, the windows can be opened while the scents and sunlight drift inside.

For the wedding breakfast, 70 guests can dine and regale in the characterful restaurant, soaking in its charm as they muse over each course menu. After the meal has come to a close, the venue opens up to accommodate up to 150 evening guests who can indulge in drinks and dancing. As dusk envelops this enchanting setting, you and yours can revel in the romance as the venue and gardens ignite in a crescendo of twinkling lights.
