Cripps Barn Hire

Cripps is an isolated 18th Century Cotswold stone barn set in lovely countryside near Bibury in the Coln Valley. Converted specifically for entertaining, with its flagstone floors, beams and open fireplace, it is much used as a wedding venue and also for company, drinks and birthday parties.

Weddings

Cripps is extremely popular for weddings, and wedding receptions.

Civil Wedding Licence

We have a civil wedding licence so you can get married in the afternoon and follow on straight into your reception.

An informal and relaxed location

A wedding party in a smart hotel can be impressive, but some people are looking for something more informal, more romantic, more rural, where children can run around, where you can have a bonfire, where your guests can camp instead of driving home, where it doesn’t matter if a drink is spilled and where the party can move outside in good weather.

Make the most of your day

Most venues will close around midnight, just when everyone is really enjoying the party. At Cripps your hire period runs until 2.00 a.m. the following day, or even later by arrangement - at no extra hire cost.
