Venue type: Barn / Oasthouse / Farm Description: A wedding party in a smart hotel can be impressive, but some people are looking for something more informal, more romantic, more rural, where children can run around, where you can have a bonfire with a spit-roast, where your guests can camp instead of driving home, where it doesn’t matter if a drink is spilled and where the party can move outside in good weather. Cripps is an isolated 18th Century Cotswold stone barn set in lovely countryside near Bibury in the Coln Valley. Converted specifically for entertaining, with its flagstone floors, beams and open fireplace, it is an ideal venue for parties, weddings, dinners and many other functions.

info & directions
Additional details: The barn will accommodate 10 round tables, each of which seats 10 people, or 11 at a squash (not really recommended), giving a capacity of 100-110. Most parties of over 60 people use a marquee to provide circulation space and room for the bar. With parties over 100, it is best to eat in the marquee and use the barn as the bar and dancing area. The barn holds 175-200 standing up, which again can be increased to larger numbers with a marquee.
