Seasonal Weddings: How The Farm Transforms With The Year

Each season at Oxleaze Barn brings a new chapter to the landscape, shaping the farm’s beauty in its own quiet, effortless way. From the first blush of Spring blossoms to the golden glow of Autumn’s harvest, the surroundings shift in harmony with nature, offering an ever-changing yet timeless setting for your wedding.

Whether it’s the scent of wildflowers on a summer breeze or the soft crunch of frost underfoot in winter, Oxleaze Barn is more than a venue—it’s a living, breathing part of the Cotswold countryside, ready to frame your celebration in every season.

Spring

As the farm awakens from its Winter slumber, the gardens burst into life with blossoms and fresh greenery. The courtyard garden becomes a fragrant haven, perfect for an outdoor drink reception surrounded by the soft hues of the season. Embrace the sense of renewal with delicate floral arrangements and playful touches like lawn games to entertain your guests in the spring sunshine.

Summer

Under the warm summer sun, Oxleaze Barn’s courtyard sets the scene for a relaxed drink reception, where guests can mingle beneath the open sky. As the celebration unfolds, the Main Barn offers a beautiful dining space, with its doors open onto the courtyard, allowing the evening breeze to drift in. Long feasting tables adorned with seasonal blooms invite a sharing-style wedding breakfast, bringing everyone together in a convivial atmosphere.

For a touch of countryside charm, guests can be entertained with a tractor ride to our wildflower meadows, offering a picturesque escape into nature. As night falls, the fire pit becomes a gathering point, where guests can toast marshmallows and soak in the magic of a starlit Cotswold night.

Autumn

The farm’s landscape transforms into a tapestry of rich, earthy shades as Autumn arrives, bringing a sense of warmth and abundance. Celebrate the harvest season with organic touches like leaves and lanterns, creating an inviting and atmospheric setting. The Main Barn offers an intimate space for a heartfelt ceremony, followed by a wholesome feast showcasing the best of the season’s produce. Welcome your guests with a warming drink to set the tone for a festive and jovial evening.

Winter

Oxleaze Barn takes on a quiet, ethereal beauty in the winter months, where frost-kissed fields and, if you’re lucky, a soft snowfall add to the romance of the day. Inside, the glow from the log fire and seasonal greenery create an elegant, atmospheric setting for your celebration. Guests can gather for a heartfelt ceremony before sitting down to a refined winter feast, surrounded by flickering candlelight and the warmth of celebration. As the evening unfolds, the barn becomes a haven of joy, where music, laughter, and the season’s charm linger long into the night.
