Tythe is a 500-year-old, family-run estate set in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside that effortlessly bridges the gap between rural rustic charm and exceptional event hosting. Though the estate feels a world away from the bustle of the capital, it sits remarkably close to home - just a 50-minute train ride from London Marylebone and minutes from Bicester’s main transport links (there is even space to land a helicopter if you prefer to arrive by air). A working farm at heart, complete with grazing sheep and resident donkeys, the estate brings a distinctively authentic backdrop to everything from corporate retreats and product launches to milestone celebrations, private retreats and weekend away trips.
When it comes to event spaces, Tythe offers total versatility with exclusive hire across the grounds. Central to the estate are two light-filled 14th-century barns, where soaring timber-framed ceilings, original stonework, and warm flagstone floors create a dramatic setting for strategy sessions, company feasts, or big celebrations. If you’re planning a multi-day stay, the restored 17th-century Farmhouse provides a luxurious base for guests, boasting seven stylish en-suite double bedrooms, an elegant library room, and a private dining room, alongside a charming Shepherd's Hut tucked away in the grounds.
Between sessions or celebrations, guests are encouraged to explore the estate at their own pace, whether that means wandering through the lush orchard, playing a game on the private tennis court, unwinding in the outdoor hot tub, or refreshing under the wild showers. Menus are carefully curated by the award-winning private chefs at Absolute Taste, who craft bespoke, seasonal dishes that champion fine British produce. Whether you are envisioning a relaxed interactive banquet served family-style or a sophisticated multi-course dinner paired with fine wines, the culinary offering is entirely tailored to your gathering.
Offering exceptional, meticulous event hosting alongside uneditable history and impressive luxury spaces, Tythe is an estate that does it all. Get in touch with Tythe's dedicated events team today to talk through your next big event.
