The surrounding 700 acre working farmland includes a range of animals, and allows for perfect wedding snaps! The farm offers venues rich in history, character and charisma. Over the years, the interiors of the buildings have retained all the original farm features including beautiful red-brick work and exposed oak beams – alongside all the imperfect nooks and crannies that provide the rustic charm. Pair this with contemporary additions that provide hints of the 21 st -century. The exteriors have been left untouched all these years since it was originally used as a grain barn for the farm’s harvest, aside from some touch-ups and renovations of course! While the gorgeous red-brick stable stands out for its striking colour with charming wooden doors and windows to match. The original, wooden waterfall bridge, which links the Tythe Barn terrace to the venue’s garden, is a real wow feature. With four spaces in which to say, ‘I do’ and enjoy a reception, there’s plenty of choice including Tythe Barn, the Stable or Farm House garden, the Millstream or Millstream Garden or the Meadow Barn for larger and external catering weddings. When couples book the venue, they’ll receive a free tasting night and complimentary bridal suite. TEWIN BURY FARM HOTEL 01438 717 793 | www.tewinbury.co.uk
