About Lains Barn

Lains Barn is an idyllic wedding venue in the heart of rural Oxfordshire. A magnificent listed barn, this venue is set within its own spacious grounds and the rolling countryside just behind it. The location, whilst picturesque and rural, is within easy reach of the M4 & M40 motorways. It is also just a 10-minute taxi ride from Didcot Parkway train station, with trains to London taking just 45 minutes. What’s more, there is plenty of car parking and nearby accommodation. Facilities and Capacity Couples will have exclusive use of the whole barn for their special day, whether it's for both a civil ceremony and reception or reception only. This includes the stunning main barn, the covered outdoor byre complete with festoon lighting, a large indoor byre with its own custom-built bar, and a large lawned courtyard. Lains Barn has retained its beautiful original features including rustic beams and a unique wood tiled floor. There is also an old manger that is ideal for floral displays, and a quirky grain store which is a popular photographic backdrop. This beautiful property has great versatility and works fabulously for weddings throughout all the seasons. In autumn and winter, the barn is cosy and well heated whilst in spring and summer, the large glass barn doors can be opened directly onto the lawned courtyard. This courtyard is perfect for lawn games, canapés, barbecues, photographs, and music. Services Offered The Lains Barn team knows that the food, drink, and service are every bit as important as the venue itself. Taking a tailored approach to the food and drink, mix-and-match menus are available. The team works with local suppliers to provide the highest quality bar and catering services. The venue itself can be laid out to suit the needs of the couple, suiting their event style beautifully.

We got married 2 weeks ago at Lains barn and it could not have been better! The staff were amazing throughout the whole experience and everyone commented on how great the food and service was. I would recommend this venue to anyone.
