About The Akeman Inn
The Akeman Inn is a lovely wedding venue situated between Bicester & Aylesbury, perfect for a more relaxed celebration with your family and friends. Please do get in touch for more information, we'd love to hear from you!
Named after the ancient Roman road upon which it resides, The Akeman Inn, Kingswood existed as a coaching inn for 200 years, until the mid-19th century. Situated between Bicester and Aylesbury, this substantial building offers a lounge and bar area with a range of comfortable seating options and open fireplace, a modern restaurant with timber beams and an open kitchen, views of open countryside, and ample parking.
We have a number of areas within the pub that are perfect for a small intimate ceremony followed by a wedding breakfast for up to 50 people. Please note that the areas we have available are not completely private areas but areas of the pub, and therefore we do not allow live music or DJs, however, can help arrange a silent disco - ask for more details!
