Dating back to 1750, Lains Barn offers a magnificently restored historic setting in rural Oxfordshire, near the ancient market town of Wantage. This timber-framed barn, with its majestic hall and large wooden doors opening onto a lawned courtyard, provides an authentic and romantic atmosphere. Originally an agricultural building, its rustic features like wooden beams, a unique tiled floor, and even an old manger, blend thoughtfully with contemporary furnishings, including a custom-built bar and festoon lighting. The U-shaped design ensures a natural flow for any event, while the surrounding grounds, including a quirky grain store on staddle stones, offer charming backdrops. Wheat fields and natural woodland border the property, providing far-reaching views towards the Chiltern Hills.
Lains Barn is yours to enjoy exclusively, whether for a wedding, private party, or corporate event. The versatile main barn can host up to 150 guests for a ceremony or seat up to 170 for dining, transforming seamlessly for evening receptions with a capacity of 200. Outdoor ceremonies can be held on the manicured lawn, which is also perfect for drinks, garden games, or enjoying pizzas from the outdoor wood-fired oven and Argentinian grills. The covered open byre provides an ideal outdoor space regardless of the weather. The family-run team has extensive experience and offers in-house catering with customisable menus, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully managed for a memorable occasion in this quintessentially rural Oxfordshire setting.
