About Cold Harbour Barn

Cold Harbour Barn is the perfect rustic barn wedding venue set in a secluded rural spot of Oxfordshire. The beautifully restored barn, with its timber beams and large doors opening onto a spectacular view across the Oxfordshire valley makes it the ideal wedding venue. The barn is spacious and desirable with a host of charming original features, a custom built bar and large wooden doors opening onto extensive grounds. It is ideal for outdoor and indoor celebrations and ceremonies.

The barn transforms from hosting your service venue to a stunning dining area and dance floor. The barn can accommodate 100 people seated comfortably and up to 150 in the evening. There is ample room for large marquees if you require.
The outdoor area has up-lighters for the trees, a fire-pit which can be lit on your request and still plenty of space for entertainment, food vendors or a quiet place.

You have exclusive use of the entire barn and outdoor area, which you can personalise and dress to create your dream wedding.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that stands out from the others, Cold Harbour Barn is the place!
