About Winters Barns

When it comes to discovering the perfect barn wedding venue, Kent will leave you spoilt for choice. Winters Barns in Canterbury is home to a collection of stunning barns that make a picture-perfect destination for your rustic wedding day.

Located just outside Canterbury and nestled within the majestic Kent countryside, Winters Barns are filled with Kentish character and charm. Winters Barns will be a relaxed and wonderful setting for your wedding from start to finish. On arrival, the bride and her bridesmaids can get ready in the on-site “salon”, a beautiful space that is perfectly set up for getting ready for the big day, with makeup and hair stations, plenty of mirrors, seating to relax and even a small kitchen and showers. There is also a dressing room where the groom and his groomsmen can get ready for the day. 

Couples looking to get married on-site can say their vows in the stunning oak-beamed ceremony room or head to the beautiful floral arches of the cart barn. Before moving to the pretty courtyard for post-ceremony drinks. They can then celebrate their wedding reception in the main barn - a beautifully restored 17th century barn, complete with high ceilings and oak beams. 

As for food, catering is happily provided in house by the kitchen team who pride themselves on using sustainable, seasonal ingredients. One of the joy's of having an on-site team is that you can discuss all the options directly with them, whether you're picturing canapés, a traditional three-course meal, al fresco BBQs, dessert bars, and much more. The team are also keen to make sure your guests are perfectly watered and alongside drinks packages, can offer a Champagne, Pimms or cocktail bar, as well as a bubble bike or 'pimp your prosecco' corner. 

There's also plenty of accommodation on site both for the couple, and for family and friends. Spend your first night married in a sweet, historic cottage, while your wedding party take over the Farmhouse and the Hop Picking Huts, which have eight king-size beds between them.

Testimonials For Winters Barns

Wedding - 15th of September 2024OCTOBER, 2024

First Impressions: Beautiful venue, perfect location, stunning bridge and meeting Sally made us feel very welcome and comfortable knowing she would be in control of our special day. Planning Process: Planning process was very easy with emailing and meetings with Sally. Emails always answered swiftly and efficiently. The Caterers: Scott Anderson were again a pleasure to deal with. They had the most amazing service on the day and everyone said how amazing the food was. Our favourite dishes had to be the melon and prosciutto ham and the chicken breast. The Wedding Day: The day was perfect, the venue looked stunning, the sun was shining and the team at Winters Barns made us feel so special. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were very professional and attentive. Special Touches: We liked how slices of wedding cake were left in the cottage for us to have. Also Sally helped Pen get into her wedding dress and made sure the prices were removed from her wedding shoes on the day. Also we loved that Sally set up our sweetie table, photo area and guest puzzle area. Accommodation: The cottage again was beautiful and comfortable especially the bed. All our friends and family loved the farmhouse rooms too. Breakfast was served promptly and with plenty of choice. Overall we had the most beautiful day in the most wonderful location with all our friends and family. I would recommend Winters Barns to anyone looking for a wedding venue in and around Canterbury.

Wedding - 08/08/2024SEPTEMBER, 2024

First Impressions: As soon as we walking into the venue we INSTANTLY knew it was the venue for us. Not only was it the venue, but it was the staff and the package offering that made it irresistible   for us. Planning Process: Love the final meeting and the food tasting sessions. it was great to have the supplier open days too as we ended up booking many via this. Caterers: All my guests commented on how yummy the wedding food was. I've been to some wedding where the food was meh. they all outdid themselves. thank you! only feedback would be that as the bride, I didn't get the chance to eat any evening food so would be nice to be offered it for future weddings. The Wedding Day: 10/10 faultless. the grounds were amazing, so tidy, excellent facilities. considering how many weddings you have we felt valued and never felt like a number. you've got it down to a t in terms of check in / check out. Special shout out to Lizzie who was the best support for us and everyone. you know she loves her job and she's so good at it, always 1 step ahead with what I needed <3 Special Touches: Little touch like: the cards and pressies in our room, the bell in the getting ready room, being served canapes first before the pictures and other guests, Lizzie always being on hand to support (especially when it came to my evening shoes). so was on it! Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. we love the venue, the team and wish we could do it all over again!!!

Catering: Really enjoyed all the food provided. Had lots of compliments on the day about the food as well about how good it was. Extra brownie points for the sticky toffee pudding! The Wedding Day: The team were great, Lizzie was always on hand throughout the day. Had a few compliments from others as well about how helpful she was on the day compared to other venues they have hosted at. Leading up to the wedding the rest of the team were great as well with answering questions, venue drop etc. Accommodation: Accommodation was lovely! Was gutted I couldn’t spend longer in it. Breakfast was also great, with lots of choice.
