THE OLD COW SHED 07828 115 340 | www.oldcowshed.com Set within the Leicestershire countryside, The Old Cow Shed is a beautiful brick building with wooden beams, original features, concrete floors and large windows opening out onto the lush green paddock. The venue’s neighbours are farmers, so don’t be surprised if guests spot the odd tractor or flock of sheep! The cosy brick Courtyard has been covered and heated to protect guests on those rainy days and not only features a bar area, but it’s the perfect location for a dancefloor – especially at night when the area is lit-up to create a magical enclosure. Say ‘I do’ in the Old Cow Shed or out in the Courtyard with 100 guests – both also make great spaces for receptions. There’s accommodation available for the wedding party in the Big Barn with four beautifully decorated double bedrooms and huge reception areas – there are also three Shepherd Huts for guests to book! WE LOVE… The majority of couples book The Old Cow Shed from Friday to Sunday to enjoy the build-up to the day, enabling nearlyweds to get all the decorations sorted, invite friends and family over for a barbecue or enjoy some peace and quiet before the big party the next day!.
