Oxleaze Barn offers the practical advantage of a self-contained estate where you control the entire guest experience—ceremony, reception, and accommodation all on-site, eliminating venue-hopping logistics.

This Cotswolds property provides flexible indoor and outdoor spaces across 150 acres, allowing you to scale your celebration from intimate gatherings to larger affairs without feeling cramped.

We had our wedding at Oxleaze last year and if we could give more than 5 starts we would. From the moment we viewed the venue we have had the best experience with everyone there. The team really made sure we had the best day from start to finish and we could not be more grateful. Not a glitch on the day, the guest were nothing but complimentary about the location, the venue, staff, food all of it. The venue is so stunning that not much decorating was needed.
