With a capacity of 65 to approximately 450 guests, Monkton Barn offers great flexibility and choice to couples seeking a unique and creative venue for their special day.

Set along a quiet country lane, the original barn building surrounds a charming courtyard filled with pretty planting and olive trees. Explore further and you will discover our meadow with panoramic views across the fields and woodland. We have hosted hundreds of wonderful weddings and are delighted to offer couples a truly bespoke wedding experience, with our help and expertise on-hand throughout.
