About Venue

Located in the picturesque Cotswold market town of Tetbury, Great Tythe Barn is a beautifully restored 16th-century stone barn offering an exceptional setting for corporate events, conferences, private dining, celebrations and exclusive hire. Blending centuries of history with contemporary event facilities, the venue provides a unique countryside backdrop surrounded by landscaped gardens and rolling Gloucestershire countryside.

Originally part of a historic farming estate, the venue has been sympathetically converted to retain its exposed Cotswold stone walls, vaulted timber ceilings and original architectural features while incorporating modern amenities and flexible event spaces. The combination of rustic charm and professional event facilities makes Great Tythe Barn equally suited to business gatherings, gala dinners, networking events and private celebrations.

Situated just outside Tetbury and within easy reach of the M4 and M5 motorways, the venue offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining highly accessible for guests travelling from Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and London.

Event Spaces

The Great Tythe Barn

The venue's magnificent main barn features soaring oak beams, exposed Cotswold stonework and impressive vaulted ceilings, creating an atmospheric setting for conferences, gala dinners, awards ceremonies and large receptions. The flexible open-plan layout can be configured for a variety of event styles.

Brunel Suite

A contemporary adjoining event space offering natural daylight and direct access to the courtyard and gardens. Ideal for meetings, presentations, private dining, breakout sessions and smaller corporate events.

Cotswold Room

A versatile meeting and private dining space suitable for board meetings, workshops, training sessions and syndicate rooms, benefiting from a quieter setting away from the main barn.

Courtyard & Gardens

The landscaped courtyard and surrounding gardens provide an attractive outdoor space for drinks receptions, networking, team building activities and summer entertaining, complementing events held inside the barn.

Facilities and Services

Great Tythe Barn offers a complete event experience with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces that can be tailored to a wide range of occasions. Guests benefit from dedicated event coordination, high-speed Wi-Fi, integrated audiovisual facilities in selected spaces, complimentary on-site parking and accessible facilities throughout the venue. The landscaped gardens and courtyard provide attractive breakout areas for networking and receptions, while experienced catering partners can deliver everything from working lunches and conferences to gala dinners and private celebrations. On-site accommodation is also available within the estate's collection of boutique bedrooms and cottages, making the venue particularly well suited to residential events and multi-day gatherings.

Location and Access

Set within the Gloucestershire countryside on the outskirts of Tetbury, Great Tythe Barn offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining easily accessible from Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and London via the M4 and M5 motorway networks. The venue is surrounded by landscaped grounds and open countryside, providing guests with an exclusive destination away from the city while still being convenient for regional and national events.

The venue benefits from extensive complimentary on-site parking, including EV charging facilities, with space for coaches and larger vehicles to access the site if required.
