Soho House’s Oxfordshire farm sits on 100 acres at Great Tew: timber cabins along a stream, a lake, a boathouse, and a cluster of working farm buildings converted into rooms that hold a party.
Ceremonies happen in the Jackson Barn or in the 11th-century village church at Great Tew, a mile up the lane.
Dinner runs in the Main Barn, which seats 330, or the Hay Barn, which takes 500 standing, so a 200-guest wedding fits here without anyone hiring a marquee.
Smaller counts use the Barwell Barn at 200, the Mill Room at 150 or the Cowshed at 65.

Asked along the way.
How many guests can Soho Farmhouse hold?+
The published event-space capacities are the Hay Barn at 500, the Main Barn at 330, the Barwell Barn at 200, the Mill Room at 150, the Cowshed at 65 and the Greenhouse at 20. Weddings here typically run between 140 and 250 guests.
Do you have to be a member to get married there?+
Effectively yes. Soho Farmhouse is a private members’ club, weddings are arranged through membership, and cabin accommodation is for members and their guests. Planners report that guests outside the membership stay in Chipping Norton, Charlbury or Great Tew instead.
Which day of the week do weddings run?+
Planner-reported: wedding dates are usually offered on a Thursday, with the rest of the week reserved for members, and the site plus its accommodation is taken on an exclusive basis for the day. Confirm the current pattern with the club, because it has changed before.
Where do guests sleep?+
In the cabins on the farm, which run from one-bedroom huts to larger lodges, plus the main farmhouse. Guest numbers beyond the cabins stay in Chipping Norton or Charlbury, both roughly fifteen minutes away by car.
What does a wedding at Soho Farmhouse cost?+
Nothing is published. Every figure in our cost panel is an estimate for a property at this tier rather than a quote, and the club prices each enquiry individually against the date, the spaces and the cabin count.
How far is it from London?+
About 80 miles, which is a two-hour drive from central London on a good day and roughly an hour and twenty minutes from Heathrow. Charlbury station is fifteen minutes away and about eighty minutes from London Paddington.
