Set in the heart of the idyllic Wiltshire Chalke Valley, Bowerchalke Barn is the ultimate setting for a magical Christmas party, whether you’re celebrating with colleagues, friends or family. Just a short journey from nearby towns and cities, the barn’s secluded location provides a tranquil escape while remaining accessible for guests traveling from afar.
Dating back to the 16th century, this remarkable threshing barn exudes historic charm, with its towering elm beams and beautifully preserved rustic features. By candlelight, these timeless details truly shine, creating a coSy and atmospheric backdrop for your festive celebration. The barn’s high ceilings and exposed wooden frame are perfectly complemented by seasonal decorations such as fir trees, twinkling fairy lights, and wreaths, transforming the space into a winter wonderland.
With a generous capacity of up to 130 guests, Bowerchalke Barn is ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. Its open-plan layout includes a rustic oak barrel bar, banquet tables, and lime-washed chairs, making it easy to host a sit-down meal or a lively cocktail-style party. Outside, the spacious grounds can be incorporated into your event with fire pits, festive games, or even a marquee for added space.
Late-night revellers will love the option of staying over in the glamping area, which allows guests to embrace the countryside charm without the need to rush home. Equipped with luxury shepherd hut toilets and plenty of space, the overnight accommodations ensure your party can last as long as you like.
One of the venue’s greatest strengths is its versatility. The dedicated team at Bowerchalke Barn works with a curated list of local suppliers to help you bring your vision to life, whether that’s a traditional Christmas dinner, a buffet-style feast, or bespoke décor to suit your theme. From custom cocktails at the professionally run bar to fairy-lit hay bales for lounging, the possibilities are endless.
