About

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.

This is a venue full of warmth, care and professionalismDECEMBER, 2025

I have to come and write a review, not as a bride but as a wedding supplier. My couples, I’m sure will write their own reviews but I want to come and say how every single couple I work with who get married at WB all tell me how well looked after they are and how stress free their wedding planning has been because of this incredible team. As a supplier I have been so taken care of over the years and I know if I have had this experience then I can only imagine how wonderful it is to get married here. The attention to detail and organisation here is excellent. This is a venue full of warmth, care and professionalism. Nothing but high praise for the venue, the team and the food!

Winters Barns is the most wonderful venue! AUGUST, 2025

Winters Barns is the most wonderful venue! We were first captivated by the beautiful space, which looks gorgeous inside and out and has a wonderful atmosphere. But what we couldn't have known is just how far the team were willing to go to support us in crafting the perfect day. They are all so friendly and professional, and Lizzie was amazing to work with. We loved how they are experienced enough to give you structure and guidance, but any personal touches however unusual they can take in their stride no problem. I had recently suffered a bereavement and there were a few things I wanted to do that were out of the ordinary to keep that lost loved one included and they couldn't have been more supportive. But if I had to pick just one thing that showed how great Winters Barns are, it would be that my partner's aunt with mobility issued emailed the venue a few weeks before to say she needed a chair with arms to be able to get in and out. Winters Barns only had armless chairs, so the team went to a local antique shop, found a pair of mahogany chairs, and then sanded, painted, and reupholstered them so they matched all the others. To go out of their way like that just for a single one of our guests honestly blew us away. Would SO highly recommend for a beautiful venue that will support you in anything and everything you need.

We had the most perfect day!MAY, 2025

We had the pleasure of getting married here mid May and we had the most perfect day! We cannot recommend Winters Barns enough. From the first time we viewed the venue we fell in love with it, all members of staff are so friendly and every little detail has been thought about. The layout of the venue is brilliant, giving everyone with different wants a space, plenty of seating outside, tables for dinner in their own room, sofas by the bar which is right next to the evening reception room meaning everything flowed brilliantly without people getting lost in the space.Through the whole process we were kept up to date and had regular communication. The team answers all my emails and questions promptly and a massive thank you goes to Sophie our wedding coordinator who was absolutely fantastic and faultless! Everything was so organised ahead of the day which was brilliant peace of mind for us. On the day everything ran so smoothly with nothing being too much for the team to do. We had several comments from guests about how brilliant the venue and staff were. They helped set up the space and ensured everything was packed away at the end of the night ready for us to take away from the store room the next day. The accommodation is lovely, as was breakfast the next day (to make perfect it would be nice if a fried breakfast could be served but this may be a caters decision).We honestly cannot recommend Winters Barns enough!
