The Tythe Barn is a beautiful 14th Century stone and thatched structure that has been sympathetically restored.

The food is of exceptional standards and provided by the award-winning Absolute Taste and often uses our local suppliers and neighbouring farms.

Testimonials
We had our wedding at The Tythe Barn, Launton last August and could not recommend it more. From the moment we viewed the venue we knew it was for us. Everything was just a little bit “extra” compared to any other place we visited. The Farmhouse was still being renovated but we had no doubt that it would be just as spectacular as the barn, so didn’t hesitate to book without seeing the finished product. In the lead up to the wedding our wedding co-ordinator Tori was always there when we needed her, covering every detail and answering any questions we had. We knew we were in safe hands with Tori and any worries or stresses I had were alleviated by her organised and calm approach. This made the wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful and for that I am so grateful. On the day Tori was always around but never in the way – it felt like I just had an extra friend helping out which was so lovely. She kept everything running smoothly and any small hiccups e.g. a music blip she was straight on it sorting it. The Farmhouse – where to begin. This was such a great part of our experience and really helped to make the wedding morning relaxing. It was so nice to get to spend extra time with our family and friends and the Farmhouse itself is absolutely stunning. From the bath tubs, to the grounds, to the hot tub, bridal prep area, champagne bar, stunning kitchen area, every little bit of it has been so carefully thought through and nothing missed. The catering was amazing (for both the wedding and the night before meal) – we now understand why you only use these caterers. We received SO many comments from our guests on how great the food was. It really was delicious. I could go on for a long time about how perfect this venue and the staff are!! But I will round up and just say that if you are looking at having your wedding here, please do not hesitate to book. I wish we could do it all over again and we hope to be able to come back and stay at the Farmhouse again one day. Thank you to everyone at Tythe for giving us the best day of our lives!
Katie, Bride - August 2022
What a magical venue, perfect for our autumnal fairy lit wedding. The Farmhouse to stay in is beautiful and perfect to be on-site, lovely addition to have the bridal suite half way to the venue and the venue itself offers everything you could possibly need. A wonderful relaxed atmosphere yet elevated and wedding perfect. The team are really friendly and supportive throughout the process and on the day. Can't thank Tythe enough!
Charlie and Joe - October 2022
We celebrated our wedding with 50 guests at the Tythe barn in June 2022. From the first encounter with the Tythe team for the initial venue visit until the end of our wedding day, it has been a joy-filled and unforgettable experience. The team is so welcoming, warm, professional and passionate, it has been a beautiful experience planning our wedding with them. No words needed for the venue, if you think the images are stunning, the reality is even more breathtaking! We could not thank the Tythe Barn enough for this beautiful, unforgettable day and the many memories we, and our guests, will share in the future.
Frida and David - June 2022
The Tythe Barn was a most exquisite venue for my niece's wedding. Family and friends who traveled to the UK from the USA and elsewhere for this event were delighted by the food, elegant surroundings, decor, and extreme friendliness of the staff. Smiles and excellent service bookended our afternoon-into-evening celebration. As you British would say, "Brilliant!"
Lois, Auntie of Bride
Tythe barn is a beautiful, informal venue. The farmhouse is a lovely place to stay - very much like a boutique hotel. The Nook (where) the bride & bridal party get ready on the morning of the big day is beautiful, secluded, calming & well equipped. The staff are very helpful & really do have a focus on making it the day you want.
Karen - November 2023 Bride
There are not enough words to explain how much we appreciate Tori and the rest of the team…they really made our whole day exceptional and the level of service was more than we could have ever dreamed of.
From the minute we arrived to the minute we left nothing was too much to ask.
We wish we could re-live the day and do it all again. There is nothing we would change and cannot fault a thing.
Thank you so much, we will be forever grateful.
Emily and Ryan - July 2023
There is something so magical about Tythe, and from the moment we visited we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate with our family and friends. The attention to detail is second to none - there is nothing they haven't considered in making the venue the perfect choice to host a wedding.
We really don't feel ready to say goodbye to Tythe just yet as the whole experience went by so quickly! We hope to visit one of their future events just so we can relive moments of our wedding one last time!
Laura and Jamie - June 2024
Tythe is the most magical venue anyone could ask for! We had our wedding in October 2024 and Tythe exceeded expectation on every level! The staff are unbelievably helpful and so accommodating. Honestly, every single guest has raved about the venue and staff, it just blew us all away! The Farmhouse elevated the experience even more by providing the best accommodation, it is quite something, we didn't want to leave. If you're looking for a platinum class venue, look no further... Tythe is unreal!
Maxine and Rebecca - October 2024
Tythe was the first venue we saw when we got engaged and it won us over immediately. Our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT, with The Nook for the bridal party, the main barn being tailored to exactly how we wanted it to look, the cocktails in The Cowshed. The catering was out of this world and The Farmhouse is beautiful accommodation to share with family and friends. The day ran so smoothly and was exactly what we wanted due to Fran, our wedding co-ordinator, being an absolute star!
Hannah and Harry - February 2025
Our wedding was perfect, Tythe is a beautiful place to host such a special event, from the cosy and romantic setting to the friendly staff who expertly run the day so smoothly and make you feel so calm and relaxed. We are so glad we chose Tythe, nothing was too much trouble and everything we wanted was done exactly as we asked. Thank you 😊
