Hinton St Mary Tithe Barn

The feel

The Tithe Barn and Hinton Manor gardens are available on an exclusive use basis, for you and your guests, with no one else around.  As you approach up the tree lined avenue, past the horses and the village cricket pitch, you are met by the impressive gates to the Manor and enter into a haven of tranquility with goldfish and lilies on the pond and marvel at the subtle majesty of our Medieval Grade II* Listed Tithe Barn.

St. Peter’s church is within walking distance should you want a traditional service or we are licensed for relaxed weddings inside and out.  We’re so relaxed, you can do it all yourself, or we can guide and provide depending on the time you have to plan.  Our wonderful elevated stone Summerhouse within the walled garden is licensed for wedding ceremonies, as is the main hall of the barn with its wooden polished floor.  Marry in the gardens, drink and celebrate in our English Country Garden, surrounded by the scent of honeysuckle and lavender; then dine and dance under our impressive vaulted ceiling.  The walled garden lawn lends itself perfectly to a marquee or tipi if you wanted a touch of something different.  Hinton are new to weddings, this is a rare opportunity.

We have accommodation for the wedding party on site in The Lodge and Manor Stables, plenty of parking and a list of tried and tested brilliant suppliers to put together the best day of your lives.  Summer weddings in the gardens or winter weddings by the fireplace, we have got it covered.  Large (100 day, 150 evening) or small guest numbers (15-30), we can create just the right ambience for you.  Hinton St Mary sits on the River Stour, is surrounded by rolling countryside and offers the perfect wedding weekend retreat.  Our introductory prices are keen, saving you that extra bit, to spend on yourselves.

Hinton St Mary Tithe Barn is available on a dry hire basis, giving couples complete flexibility to create a wedding day that truly reflects their vision. With exclusive use of the historic barn and its beautiful surroundings, you’re free to choose your own caterers, stylists, bar suppliers and entertainment, allowing you to personalise every detail. The barn’s characterful timber beams and spacious interior provide a stunning blank canvas, whether you’re planning a rustic celebration, elegant banquet or relaxed countryside gathering. Dry hire at Hinton St Mary Tithe Barn offers the perfect balance of historic charm and creative freedom.
