The barn is filled with history and is in the perfect rural location with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for events. Just 10 minutes from junction 9 of the M40 and accessible to stations with direct routes from Birmingham and London, Tythe is a wonderful choice for anybody.

St. Mary's comfortably accommodates 100–120 guests, though up to 150 may be possible with prior arrangement. Practicality is also a priority at Tythe, with parking for 75 cars, overnight parking until 10am, and space for larger vehicles.
