The Barn at Avington
Converted barn on a working farm beside the River Itchen near Winchester, Hampshire
The Barn at Avington is a converted barn on a 500-acre working farm beside the River Itchen near Winchester, offered for exclusive use over several days, with cottages and a glamping site for guests.
The Barn at Avington stands on a working farm of 500 acres beside the River Itchen, near Winchester in Hampshire. A former industrial barn has been converted into a light, open room that couples can style as they wish. The farm is close to the M3, ten minutes from Winchester, and about 15 minutes from a station with regular trains to London.
The venue allows a limited number of dates each year so that a celebration can last several days, with time for getting ready and for reflection afterwards. The ceremony space lies by the river among trees, and the barn is licensed for ceremonies indoors and outdoors. Guests can stay in cottages or on the glamping site, and the hideaway known as The Quarry suits festival-style gatherings. A caterer of the couple's choice works with the team, from a seated meal to food trucks. Amenities include a hot tub, free wifi and an alcohol licence, and the barn can also be hired dry.
