Nestled in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, Bowerchalke Barn is a quintessentially romantic wedding venue that combines historic charm with rustic elegance. Dating back to 1690, this beautifully preserved barn is crafted from locally sourced elm, boasting an exposed timber frame, a picturesque thatched roof, and hand-forged wrought iron chandeliers by the resident blacksmith.

The barn’s spacious interior can host up to 130 guests, with large double doors that open to reveal stunning views of the surrounding 1200 acres of rolling farmland. Inside, you’ll find banquet tables, lime-washed cross-back chairs, and a bespoke oak barrel bar that complements the barn’s character.
