It’s perfect for those who are less concerned about their venue having character and more about taking control of their wedding decor themselves.

Whether you decide to have your outdoor ceremony here, or just your reception drinks, there’s tons of scope. For outdoorsy types, this garden is right by the river, so it looks great from every angle!

The Tythe Barn – The most popular at Tewin Bury!
Who is The Tythe Barn at Tewin Bury for?
Okay, okay, so you don’t quite have 350 on the guest list. Who knows that many people anyway, am I right?!
The Tythe Barn is the most popular wedding venue at Tewin Bury Farm and suits the needs of most couples. While it sits in the middle as the best all rounder, it’s by no means in the middle in any other way.
What the Meadow Barn lacks in character, is made up for and some in the Tythe Barn. Decorated simply with fairy lights that match the oak wooden beams perfectly, the Tythe is the picture of perfect rusticness for you rustic barn lovers out there. (Myself included!)
A wedding venue that looks great inside and out and doesn’t need a lot of extra work or money spent to make it look good. Probably none in fact, with an inclusive package from Tewin Bury Farm.

The only draw back is there’s no space to get up high to take a big group photo, but there’s plenty of space to do one, so make sure your photographer brings their step ladder. As a shorty, this is an essential piece of my kit!
Whether you have an outdoor ceremony, or just celebrate here with your reception drinks, you’ll be feeling right at ease in this lovely big green space.
Wedding photo ops in The Tythe Barn Gardens
There’s so much scope for photos at Tewin Bury Farm, I literally could spend all day there. In fact, I did recently, and that was just photographing the venue!
The Tythe Barn gardens are stunning, not far from the bridge and carry plenty of opportunity for photos. They’ve also got a wooden pagoda, the walkway bridge and the River Mimram outside the Riverview Bar.
More than that, you can sneak into the other gardens as long as there isn’t another wedding going on at the same time, but make sure you check with the team first! It’s not necessary though, because you don’t have to walk a long way to have a stunning backdrop, another one of my favourite things about Tewin Bury Farm!

I can’t help it, I just love everything about this one. All the way down to the intimacy of the wedding guest count.

What makes The Stable Barn the venue for intimate weddings?
For intimate weddings, there are two options at Tewin Bury Farm. The Millstream Suite or The Stable Barn. They both have access to great private gardens, bars, ceremony and reception rooms. But why choose one over the other?
It comes down to the venue itself, with the Stable, you’ve got a stand alone private wedding venue with gorgeous garden. With the Millstream you’re in a first floor suite. I might be biased because I just love it so much, but the Stable is the perfect choice for me.
It’s got it all. It looks amazing, it’s full of character, you’ve got the Farmhouse Gardens to make use of and even better, with it being on the ground floor it works better for disabled guests, who might struggle getting to the first floor of The Millstream Suite.
Wedding photo ops in The Stable’s Farmhouse Gardens
With the Farmhouse Gardens just across the way from The Stable Barn you’ve got TONS of photo opportunities.
There’s the garden arches, the pagoda, the steps of the farmhouse, benches, cool trees, but to name a few. Walk through the arch at the back and be greeting with even more opportunity.
You won’t feel the need to walk around to find something a bit different, but I might suggest stepping outside the garden for a couple of photographs by the River Mimram as that’s the one thing the Farmhouse Gardens lack. But a quick step outside and there it is – no walking for miles in those shoes!
