BARNUTOPIA, SY10 9BS 01691 791 624 | www.barnutopia.com Barnutopia opened in 2015 as a glamping site with three Mongolian yurts. In 2017, the owners expanded as a wedding and events venue and have continued to add to the site to create a charming space to say ‘I do’. Approaching through the main gates, guests are greeted by a long red brick stable block that dates back to 1892. The event barn opens directly onto the yurt field with spectacular views of the Shropshire and Powys countryside. All parts of the site are easily accessible, including the nine luxury glamping units, two fully-equipped kitchens and bathroom blocks with unlimited hot water. All glamping units are fully furnished with beds, power, heating and free Wi-Fi. The horse, donkeys, pigs, dogs and cats complete the farmyard experience and provide great photo opportunities. CELEBRATE IN STYLE The Events Barn was unused for 10 years until the owners took over but is now licensed for ceremonies. Couples may decorate the space as they wish and celebrate with up to 120 guests. Couples can choose the Yurt Field with the impressive Gyrn Moelfre as the backdrop for their outdoor ceremony. The Dell offers an alternative outside setting next to a stream, which is on the England and Wales border. Inside is the Farmhouse Dining Room, a licensed space that can hold eight guests. Receptions usually take place in the Events Barn, but informal catering can be held under the Dutch Barn or in the Yurt Field. WE LOVE...

There is flexibility on pricing to accommodate 15 to 120 guests, and couples can customise their day with the Build Your Own Wedding Package option.
