About Lapstone Barn
When you choose Lapstone Barn for your wedding, you’re stepping into a venue with history, charm, and personality. Once a working farm, it has been beautifully reimagined into a luxurious space while retaining its original charm. Its honey-colored Cotswold stone walls and exposed timber beams exude warmth and character, creating a timeless setting for your big day.
The barns themselves have been thoughtfully transformed. The Stone Barn is the perfect setting for ceremonies with its warm, inviting ambiance. Meanwhile, the Northwick Barn offers a spacious reception area filled with light, charm, and endless possibilities for styling your dream day.
One of the standout features of Lapstone Barn is its exclusivity. When you book this venue, it’s all yours from 10am to 1am. This means no sharing the grounds, no interruptions, and complete freedom to bring your wedding vision to life.
Plus, your furry friends don’t have to miss out, as this venue is completely dog-friendly. Imagine your pup walking down the aisle with you or posing for photos in the gardens – adorable, right?
