Barn weddings have become synonymous with rustic charm, blending the elegance of a wedding celebration with the warmth of a countryside setting. For couples seeking the perfect barn venue, there are plenty of options, but a few stand out to us for their atmosphere, idyllic locations, dreamy backdrops and speciality for weddings.
We’ve listed our top 6 best barn wedding venues across England and Scotland that we’ve actually filmed and photographed at – so we can give you first-hand information and advice!
Eden Barn – Cumbria
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Eden Barn offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and architectural elegance. Think rolling hills, lush greenery, and an 18th-century barn that’s been transformed into the stuff of dreams. The beautifully restored barn boasts exposed beams, stone walls, and large windows, creating a romantic ambiance that perfectly captures the essence of a rustic celebration.
An Eden Barn wedding has rooms for everything: bridal prep, ceremony, drinks reception, outside space for drinks – and it’s so cosy, warm and inviting inside.
The staff are also really lovely and truly take care of their suppliers. Read our blog to discover Chloe and Oli’s magical late summer wedding at Eden Barn with our wedding videography.
Winkworth Farm – Cotswolds
Moving down to the Cotswolds and situated near Malmesbury, Winkworth Farm is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been transformed into a dreamy barn wedding venue. With farmland stretching as far as the eye can see and barns that have seen centuries of history.
A Winkworth Farm wedding strikes the perfect balance between historic charm and modern wedding pizzazz. The renovated barns seamlessly combine historic character with modern amenities, offering couples a versatile and enchanting space to create lasting memories.
Again, this venue has plenty of space for the whole wedding day, as well as being bright and airy, which isn’t something you’d always associate with barn venues!
There are plenty of outdoor spaces for photographs, with varying backgrounds to add texture which creates some beautiful shots! Check out our blog from Lauren and Matt’s spring wedding.

Sticking in the Cotswolds, we’ve got the Barn at Upcote, located near Cheltenham. A Barn at Upcote wedding can be summed up in two words: rustic sophistication.
Surrounded by gardens and fields, this venue is a dream for couples wanting that perfect blend of countryside charm and Instagram-worthy backdrops. Whether you’re going for an intimate affair or a full-blown shindig, The Barn at Upcote gives you the perfect backdrop.

Similarly to Eden Barn, it’s perfect for twinkly fairy lights, getting cosy with your loved ones, and dancing the night away to your favourite tunes.
