Your Kent Wedding - September/October 2026 (Issue 128)

Set within the Kent countryside, Winters Barns is a collection of beautifully restored 17th-century Kentish barns, offering a romantic setting where historic character meets contemporary elegance. Original oak beams, vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork give the interiors an unmistakable sense of heritage, while warm lighting, stylish furnishings and carefully considered details create a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. Outside, the barns are surrounded by open fields, mature trees and beautifully landscaped grounds, with a charming courtyard, tranquil pond and rustic bridge providing picturesque settings for photographs and drinks receptions. Seasonal planting adds colour and interest throughout the year, while the peaceful countryside setting offers plenty of opportunities for couples to capture memorable photographs. Ceremonies can take place in the oak-framed Ceremony Barn, which is licensed for civil ceremonies throughout the year and accommodates up to 150 guests, or outdoors in The Cart Barn from April to October, overlooking the gardens and seating up to 150 guests. The Wedding Breakfast Barn provides an elegant setting for dining, complete with a romantic canopy of fairy lights and space for up to 150 guests, while the Evening Reception Barn opens onto the courtyard to create a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors for celebrations of up to 220 guests. Standout features include the original 17th-century oak beams, fairy-lit interiors, picturesque courtyard, tranquil pond and bridge, landscaped gardens and uninterrupted countryside views. Exclusive use of the venue, luxurious dressing suites and on-site accommodation add to the sense of privacy and convenience.
