Wedding Venue of the Year – Heritage
There’s nothing like the romance of a country barn wedding. No barns match ours for beauty, intimacy, and traditional Kentish character. With enchanting gardens and a stunning interior, Winters Barns is the perfect blend of old and new – a secluded historical venue steeped in history yet just a stone’s throw from Canterbury’s modern amenities - all exclusively yours for the day.
Totally devoted to you –with your own dedicated coordinator
We appreciate just how special your wedding is. Whatever you need, and whatever your budget, we’ll ensure everything is absolutely perfect. Our team are experts in special days – weddings are all that we do – so you can trust us to think of everything. We’ll take the pressure off so you can relax and enjoy each moment.
A Truly Historic Wedding Venue
Our rustic wedding venues are located in the southern outskirts of cobbled streets and idyllic views. Built in 1660, our barns provide the ideal backdrop for stunning photos and intimate moments.
Today, 85% of the buildings retain much of their original splendour including the well-preserved oak beams and 100-year-old Bramley apple trees. The barns are linked together to create a magnificent open plan space complete with heating, air conditioning and modern amenities.
Outside you’ll find a splendid courtyard that features a lovely wedding arch. We can accommodate up to 150 guests for wedding ceremonies and 200 guests for wedding breakfasts. If you prefer a church ceremony, we have two local churches in Nackington and Lower Hardres.
With breath-taking scenery and charming interiors, Winters Barns blends beauty, privacy and comfort so you can cherish your day fully.

Our barns are a memorable setting for an unforgettable day. Built back in 1660, they create a special environment throughout the year: they’re heated, air-conditioned, and linked together so the day flows seamlessly from room to room. Outside there’s a delightful courtyard complete with wedding arch. Just perfect.
